Answer: 204.76%
Explanation:
In the earlier scenario, furniture maker manufactured 47 (42 non defective) pieces per 5 laborers working 8 hours day.
Thus, the productivity in terms of units per labor hour is as follows:

= 1.05
Similarly, after the process improvement, the productivity in units per labor hour would be:

= 3.2
Thus change in productivity would be calculated as:

= 2.047 × 100
= 204.76%
Thus, the productivity of non defective parts would increase by 204.76%.

Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. The company's total book value of debt will be:
= Value of debt + Value of zero coupon bonds
= $70 million + $100 million
= $170 million
b. The market value will be:
= Quoted price × Par value
= ($70 × 1.08) + ($100 × 0.61)
= $75.6 + $61
= $136.6 million
c. The aftertax cost of debt will be:
= (1 - Tax rate) × Pre tax cost of debt
= (1 - 35%) × 5.7%
= 65% × 5.7%
= 3.7%
