Komok [63]

Answer:

The WACC is 8.66%

Explanation:

The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost to firm of its capital structure which can have 3 components namely debt, preferred stock and common stock. We take the weighted average of these components and their respective costs to calculate WACC. Furthermore, we take the after tax cost of debt for WACC calculation and that is why we multiply the cost of debt by (1-tax rate).

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

WACC = 0.33 * 0.065 * (1-0.28) + 0.08 * 0.06 + 0.59 * 0.1125

WACC = 0.086619 or 8.86619% rounded off to 8.66%

Today is your birthday, and you decide to start saving for your college education. You will begin college on your 18th birthday

Oksana_A [137]

Answer: 10 years, 175 days

Explanation:

Given the following ;

Payment per period(PMT) = $4000

PERIOD(n) = 4 years

Interest(r) = 12% = 0.12 per annum

Firstly,

Calculating the present value(PV) of the payment per period at 12% rate for 4 years

PV = [PMT(1 - (1 + r) ^-n)] ÷ r

PV = [4000 (1 - (1 + 0.12)^-4)] ÷ 0.12

PV = [4000 ( 1 - (1.12)^-4)] ÷ 0.12

PV = [4000 ( 1 - 0.635518078)] ÷ 0.12

PV = $12,149 (to the nearest whole number)

Now we calculate the period ;

if a deposit of $2542 is made

PV = [P(1 - (1 + r) ^-n)] ÷ r

12149 = [2542(1 - (1.12)^-n)]÷ 0.12

1457.88 = 2542.05(1 - (1.12)^-n)

2542 - 2542(-1.12^-n) = 12149 ×1.12

Log0.42648 = - n * log1.12

n = 7.52 years

There for payment will be made for 7.52 years

Present age = 18 - 7.52 = 10.48

10.48years.

10years, 175 days

Suppose the working-age population of a fictional economy falls into the following categories:

aniked [119]

Answer:

The right solution is:

(a) 120

(b) 20%

Explanation:

Given that,

Full time employed,

= 75

Part time employed,

= 25

Total unemployed,

= 20

(a)

The total employed will be:

= $Full \ time + Part \ time$

= $75+25$

= $100$

Now,

Labor force will be:

= $Total \ employed+Total \ unemployed$

= $100+20$

= $120$

(b)

The unemployment rate will be:

= $\frac{Total \ unemployment}{Labor \ force}\times 100$

= $\frac{20}{100}\times 100$

= $0.2\times 100$

= $20$ (%)
