Answer:

The answer is creating wealth, with the economic value added is $390,000

Explanation:

The company WACC is: Percentage of mortgage bond in capital employed x Cost of mortgage bond x ( 1 - tax rate) + Percentage of unsecured bond in capital employed x Cost of unsecured bond x ( 1 - tax rate) + Percentage of common stock in capital employed x cost of common stock

In which: Percentage of mortgage bond in capital employed = 1,000,000/10,000,000 = 10%

Percentage of unsecured bond in capital employed = 3,000,000/10,000,000 = 30%;

Percentage of common stock in capital employed = (10,000,000 - 1,000,000 - 3,000,000) /10,000,000 = 60%

Cost of common stock = Risk free rate + Risk premium = 10% + 5% = 15%;

Tax rate = 40%

Thus, WACC = 10% x 8% x ( 1- 40%) + 30% x 9% x (1-40%) + 60% x 15% = 11.10%.

Thus, Capital cost per year: Capital employed x WACC = 10,000,000 x 11.10% = $1,110,000.

Economic value added = Operating Income - Capital cost = 1,500,000 - 1,110,000 = $390,000.

Answer:

self-actualization

Explanation:

The answer is deeply related to "Maslows Hierarchy of Needs."

Abraham Harold Maslow is a popular American psychologist who introduced a motivational theory consisting of five stages in relation to the deficiency needs and growth needs of humans.

Everything starts with the deficiency needs. It is very important to satisfy this need in order to engage into the growth needs. For example, a boy is very thirsty. If that need will not be met, the boy will continuously crave for water. On the contrary, if this is met immediately, the boy will aim to grow as a person. This is what you call the growth needs.

This needs are presented in a pyramid.

From top to bottom:

1. Self-actualization

2. Self-esteem Needs

3. Love or Belongingness Needs

4. Safety Needs

5. Physiological Needs

It is ideal for a person to progress from Physiological Needs to Self-actualization, but it doesn't mean every stage is always met. Sometimes, fluctuations occur depending on the situation.

Regarding Clarence's case above. It was stated that he already worked as a doctor in a federal government. This means that he has already satisfied his self-esteem needs and the other needs below. Becoming a doctor is a prestige and a feeling of accomplishment. This can be found on the Self-Esteem Needs stage. In addition to this, Clarence already reached his full potential and is seeking for personal growth and independence. This is backed by the statement above that he opened a private clinic to continue his practice. This means he is already on the self-actualization stage of the hierarchy.
