The use of simulation to create an aggregate plan:
12345 [234]

Answer:

Answer is option b i.e. will produce a plan that may not be the best plan.

Explanation:

Simulation is the technique used to create an artificial environment that is similar to the real-life situation to study various problems and how to tackle them. However, it is not the full proof plan which means it is based on certain probability and chances that a certain situation might arise. Many times situations are not as planned and here we cannot solely depend on the solution that we have learned during the simulation process. Therefore, the simulation will provide us with a plan that may or may not be the best plan.

Frankenstein Electric has a capital structure that consists of 60 percent equity and 40 percent debt. The company's long-term bo
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

Kd = 7%

Ke =      D1      +  g

        Po(1 - FC)

Ke =      $2            + 0.09

        $40(1 - 0.15)

Ke =       $2      +  0.09

              $34

Ke = 0.1488 = 14.88%

WACC = Ke(E/V) + Kd(D/V)(1-T)

WACC = 14.88(60/100) + 7(40/100)(1 - 0.40)

WACC = 8.928 + 1.68

WACC = 10.6%

Explanation:

In this case before-tax cost of debt is given. Cost of equity is expected dividend divided by current market price after flotation cost plus growth rate. WACC is calculated as cost of equity multiplied by the proportion of equity in the capital structure plus after-tax cost of debt multiplied by proportion of debt in the capital structure.
