Suppose your company needs $13 million to build a new assembly line. Your target debt-equity ratio is .55. The flotation cost fo

r new equity is 6 percent, but the flotation cost for debt is only 3 percent. Your boss has decided to fund the project by borrowing money because the flotation costs are lower and the needed funds are relatively small. a. What is your company’s weighted average flotation cost, assuming all equity is raised externally? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What is the true cost of building the new assembly line after taking flotation costs into account? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions, rounded to the nearest whole dollar amount, e.g., 1,234,5667.)

Answer:<em>True cost = \frac{cost of assembly}{1-weighted flotation cost }</em>

<em>=  \frac{13,000,000}{1- 0.049}</em>

<em>= $ 13,669,821.2</em>

Explanation:

Given :

Debt-Equity ratio = 0.55

Flotation cost for new equity = 6%

Flotation cost for debt = 3 %

∴ To compute the weighted flotation cost , we'll use the following formula:

Weighted Flotation cost =\left [ \frac{1}{1+Debt-Equity ratio}\times Flotation cost of equity \right ] + \left [ \frac{Debt-Equity ratio}{1+Debt-Equity ratio}\times Flotation cost of debt \right ]

=  \left [ \frac{1}{1+0.55}\times 0.06 \right ] + \left [ \frac{0.55}{1+0.55}\times 0.03 \right ]

= 0.0387 + 0.0106

= 0.04934 or 4.93%

The true cost of building the new assembly line after taking flotation costs into account is evaluated using the following formula :

True cost = \frac{cost of assembly}{1-weighted flotation cost }

=  \frac{13,000,000}{1- 0.049}

= $ 13,669,821.2

Anon25 [30]

When businesses raise the price of a needed product or service after a natural disaster, this is known as price gouging. Price gouging is something that businesses do after a natural disaster when they know consumers are going to need a specific product or service so they raise the price because they know people are going to buy it anyways. An example of this is when they raise gas prices after a natural disaster, knowing people still need gas.

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

I think you've already figured this out for yourself, but I thought I'd answer anyway and maybe clarify some things.

Supply is the total amount of a <u>good or service</u> that is available to consumers.

  • Think about it: goods are physical things bought and sold, like apples. Services are actions done for another person, like taxi driving or renting a used car.
  • None of the other answers make sense: a "device" is not a strictly defined term in economics; an "industry" can't be available to consumers, and a "warranty" isn't applicable.
