Answer:
Price and quantity of chickens sold will increase.
Explanation:
Due to the prevalence of the mad cow disease, demand for cow meat will go down. Since chicken is a substitute for cow meat and there is a breed that grows twice as much with the same feeds, the demand for chicken will rise.
In economics when other factors apart from price changes it results in demand shift. In this instance demand will shift to the right.
As illustrated in the attached diagram, there will be higher quantity demanded at higher prices than before.
Answer:
c. That business must be related to the taxpayer's present business for any expense ever to be deductible.
Explanation:
If the business is acquired, the expenses may be deducted immediately by a taxpayer engaged in a similar trade or business. The expenses may be deducted regardless of whether the business being investigated is acquired.
Answer:
$9.94
Explanation:
Equivalent unit of conversion cost = 56,800 + (7,300*40%)
Equivalent unit of conversion cost = 56,800 + 2,920
Equivalent unit of conversion cost = 59,720 unit
Total cost of conversion = $34,558 + $559,254
Total cost of conversion = $593,812
Cost per equivalent unit of conversion = Total cost of conversion / Equivalent unit of conversion cost
Cost per equivalent unit of conversion = $593,812 / 59,720 units
Cost per equivalent unit of conversion = $9.9432686
Cost per equivalent unit of conversion = $9.94
Answer:
NPV = $1.49 million
Explanation:
<em>The NPV is the difference between the PV of cash inflows and the PV of cash outflows. A positive NPV implies a good investment decision and a negative figure implies the opposite. </em>
<em>NPV of an investment: </em>
NPV = PV of Cash inflows - PV of cash outflow
But we will need to work out the discount rate to be used for discounting the cash flows. Hence, we need to determine the cost of capital as follows:
Step 1: After-tax cost of debt
After tax cost of debt = pre-tax cost of debt × (1-tax rate rate)
= 9%× (1--0.3)=6.3%
Step 2 : Weighted Average cost of capital (WACC)
WACC=( 0.25×6.3%) + (0.75× 13%) =11.325
%
Step 3:Net Present Value (NPV)
PV of cash inflow= (1- (1.11325^-5)/0.11325)× 13.5 = 49.49 million
Initial cost = $48 million
NPV = 49.49 million - $48 million =$1.49 million
NPV = $1.49 million
Answer:
The correct answer is: 8.72%
Explanation:
Cost of debt K d = I (1 – t) + (-pi)/n
(SV + RV)/2
= 80(1 – 0.40) + (-75)/25
(1,000 + 1,075)/2
= 0.043 or 4.3%
Cost of equity K e = R f + b (R m – R f)
R m – R f = 5.5% = market risk premium
R f = risk free rate = 4.5%
B = beta = 1.2
K e = 4.5% + 1.2(5.5%)
= 11.1%
WACC = W d * K d + We * K e
= 35% * 4.3% + 65% * 11.1%
= 1.505 + 7.215
= 8.72%
