Answer: Not necessarily: The debt ratios are not directly comparable, since each company is in a different industry.
Explanation:
We cannot authoritatively state that even though Boeing has such a high debt rate, that it is a riskier company than either Microsoft or PG&E. This is due to the drawback in ratio analysis of bias if compared across different industries.
Ratio analysis best works when comparing companies in the same industry because their situations will be similar. Comparing across industries can be misleading because different industries operate in different ways. In the Airplane manufacturing business for instance, having a high amount of debt due to having the tangible assets to back it up might be a normal thing.
The debt ratios are therefore not directly comparable because each company is in a different industry.
Answer:
NPV = $1.49 million
Explanation:
<em>The NPV is the difference between the PV of cash inflows and the PV of cash outflows. A positive NPV implies a good investment decision and a negative figure implies the opposite. </em>
<em>NPV of an investment: </em>
NPV = PV of Cash inflows - PV of cash outflow
But we will need to work out the discount rate to be used for discounting the cash flows. Hence, we need to determine the cost of capital as follows:
Step 1: After-tax cost of debt
After tax cost of debt = pre-tax cost of debt × (1-tax rate rate)
= 9%× (1--0.3)=6.3%
Step 2 : Weighted Average cost of capital (WACC)
WACC=( 0.25×6.3%) + (0.75× 13%) =11.325
%
Step 3:Net Present Value (NPV)
PV of cash inflow= (1- (1.11325^-5)/0.11325)× 13.5 = 49.49 million
Initial cost = $48 million
NPV = 49.49 million - $48 million =$1.49 million
NPV = $1.49 million
Answer:
The following have been discovered to be of help in reducing stress for law enforcement and public safety officials such as the Police and Military.
- Attaining and maintaining work-life balance
- deliberately taking out time for leisure activities
- Keeping a very positive mindset always
- setting and pursuing after goals and avoiding procrastination
- Planning their daily work for enhanced effectiveness
Explanation:
Stress amongst law enforcement officials and public safety officials has become very crucial due to the following reasons:
1. It's easy for stress to go on for a prolonged period of time in the lives of these officials because of the nature of their work.
2. They are always in the face of danger and have to take life-or-death decisions/risks very often.
3. Relative inconclusive nature of their work
4. Frequent changes in shifts
5. Financial challenges and
6. In some cases health challenges of the officers in question or loved ones.
Stress amongst Law enforcement officials are very difficult to track because as they are trained to be and look tough...hence a the thinking is that a demonstration of weakness or admission of challenges could be interpreted as incompetence or inability to continue on the job.
Cheers!
