Answer:

0.2

Explanation:

The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is calculated as below:

WACC = (D/A) x r_D x (1-t) + (E/A) x r_E , where:

A: Market value of company asset;

D: Market value of company debt;

E: Market value of company equity;

r_D: pre-tax cost of debt;

r_E: cost of equity;

t: tax rate

Rearrange above formula a bit, we get:

WACC = (D/A) x r_D x (1-t) + (1 - D/A) x r_E

Putting all the numbers together, we have:

10.9% = (D/A) x 8.9% x (1 - 38%) + (1 - D/A) x 12%

Solve the equation, we get D/A = 17% or D/E = 0.2

So, target debt−equity ratio is 0.2

Lelu [443]

Let's assume that Atlantis has 140 million adult residents. If there are 90 million employed people and 10 million unemployed people, that leaves 40 million people out of the labor force.

What does the term "labor force" mean?

All people who meet the criteria for inclusion among the employed or unemployed make up the labor force, also known as the population that is currently engaged in labor-force activities. The term "employed" refers to people who work for pay or profit at least one hour per week or who hold a job but are momentarily off the clock due to illness, vacation, or a strike. The armed forces include anyone who served in the armed forces during the time in question, whether they were stationed in the metropolitan territory or elsewhere, and was selected from the pool of all workers available.
