Answer:

The WACC is 13.37%

Explanation:

The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure. The capital structure is made up of debt, preferred stock and common stock. In this question, there are only two components present in the capital structure i.e. debt and common stock.

The formula for WACC is,

WACC = wD * rD * (1 - tax rate)  +  wE * rE

Where,

  • w represents the weight of each component in the capital structure or value of each component as a proportion of total assets
  • r represents the cost of each component
  • we take after tax cost of debt. So we multiply cost of debt by (1 - tax rate)

We first need to determine the cost of equity using the CAPM,

rE = 0.05 + 1.25 * 0.07   =  0.1375 or 13.75%

We know that assets = debt + equity

Assets = (0.95 * 10)  +  (2.8 * 50)

Assets = 9.5  +  140  

Assets = 149.5 million

The WACC for ABC is:

WACC = 9.5/149.5  *  0.12  *  (1 - 0.35)  +  140/149.5  *  0.1375

WACC = 0.1337 or 13.37%

Answers are: 
<span>Producers supply the exact goods that consumers buy.
Consumers have enough goods, at the given price
</span><span>Producers use their resources efficiently

At the equilibrium price, the quantity bought= quantity sold. Consumers have enough goods at the given price, meaning that there isn't anyone who wants to buy the good at that price but can't, and producers use their resources efficiently.

The whole economy does not waste resources, since this is the market-efficient outcome, and there aren't many shortages or surpluses for the same reason. </span>

ollegr [7]

Answer:

The Answer is D: Nominal group technique

Explanation:

From the question, it is clear that the CEO of Mi Ola is encouraging everyone to bring up that idea they have in mind. She is encouraging everyone to make a decision as it is never wrong as long as you're moving. Bounded rationality talks about making rational decisions that will most likely satisfy personal needs. This does not seem to be the kind of statement made here. The statement is like a booster to everyone to come up with ideas, which bring us to the concept of nominal group technique. This technique encourages contributions from an entire team and encourages swift agreement on the relative significance of problems, issues, and solutions.
