Answer:

9.564%

Explanation:

Given that,

Cost of Debt = 9%

Tax Rate = 34%

Weight of Debt = 60%

Cost of Equity = 15%

Weight of Equity = 40%

TipsNToes' WACC:

= [Cost of Debt × (1 - Tax Rate) × Weight of Debt] + [Cost of Equity × Weight of Equity ]

= [9 × (1 - 0.34) × 0.60] + (15 × 0.40)

= 9.564%

Therefore, the TipsNToes' WACC will be 9.564%

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

Infant industry.

Explanation:

In this scenario, Company Z is a U.S. company that is the first in this country to produce a good that is already produced in many foreign countries and sold in the United States. Most likely, the argument it will voice in its attempt to be protected from foreign competition is the infant industry argument.

An infant industry can be defined as an industry that is still in its early stages of development and as such are not capable of competing with foreign companies.

<em>Hence, according to the infant industry theory the argument would be that infant industries should be offered some kind of protection from competitors in other industries either foreign or local until they mature and develop a good and reputable economies of scale. </em>

Assume that you have the following decision-making options: (1) make the decision on your own with available information, (2) co
raketka [301]

Answer:

(2) consult others before making a decision.

Before I make a recommendation, I will consult my team members.  Individually, some may have new ideas and modifications which we can incorporate into the project to even beat the competition and cause management to continue supporting the project.

Explanation:

Even though our competitor's "product appears to utilize radical new design principles that expand the functionality of the product," we can still modify our product.  This will not only incorporate the features of our competitor's product, but also further introduce new features that will emanate from the challenge from competition.

This is where the SCRUM framework becomes important.  This framework for project management emphasizes teamwork, accountability, and iterative progress toward a well-defined goal, while allowing for tweaks.

Developing this project based on this framework must have made it possible for us to receive the report from the marketing department in the first place.  The principles of Scrum are Openness, Respect, Courage, Commitment, and Focus.  So, the best we can do will be to prioritize, come up with new improvement ideas, and convince top management not to cancel the project.

As winner of a breakfast cereal competition, you can choose one of the following prizes: a. $180,000 at the end of five years. b
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

i. Discounted cashflow equations.

a.  $180,000 at the end of five years.

This is a lump sum present value/ discounted cashflow which can be calculated as;

Formula = 180,000 / ( 1 + r)^n

= 180,000/ ( 1 + 12%)^5

= $102,136.83

b. $11,400 a year forever

This is a perpetuity. The present value/ discounted cashflow of a perpetuity is calculated as;

Formula = Amount/rate

= 11,400/12%

= $95,000

c. $19,000 for each of 10 years.

This is an annuity. The formula for calculating the Present value/ discounted cashflow of an annuity is;

Formula = Annuity * [\frac{( 1 - (1 + i)^{-n} )}{i} ] where <em>i </em>is interest rate and <em>n</em> is number of periods

= 19,000 * [\frac{( 1 - (1 + 0.12)^{-10} )}{0.12} ]

= $107,354.24

d. $6,500 next year and increasing thereafter by 5% a year forever.

This is a growing perpetuity. The present value/ discounted cashflow formula is;

= Amount / ( discount rate - growth rate)

= 6,500 / ( 12% - 5%)

= $92,857.14

ii. Choose <u>$19,000 for each of 10 years</u> as it has the highest present value.

All the options relates to the weighted average cost of capital(WACC).
