Answer:

After tax cost of debt is 4.16%

Explanation:

The yield on the debt which is pre-tax cost of debt can be computed using the rate formula in excel, which is given as follows:

=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)

where nper is the number of coupon payments,this is calculated as 19*2 since it has a semi-annual coupon interest

pmt is the periodic coupon payment  6.1%/2*$2000=$61

pv is the current price of the bond which is $1933

fv is the face value repayable on redemption $2000

=rate(38,61,-1933,2000)

=3.20%

This is semi-annual yield , annual yield is 3.20%*2=6.40%

After tax cost of debt=6.40%*(1-t)

where t is the tax rate at 35%=0.35

after tax cost of debt=6.40%*(1-0.35)

                                  =4.16%

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

The indifference point is 1,410 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Machine A:

Fixed costs= $160,000

Unitary variable cost= $80

Machine B:

Fixed costs= $270,000

Unitary variable cost= $2

<u>First, we need to structure the total cost formula for each machine:</u>

Machine A= 160,000 + 80x

Machine B= 270,000 + 2x

x= number of units

<u>Now, we equal both formulas and isolate x:</u>

160,000 + 80x = 270,000 + 2x

78x = 110,000

x= 110,000/78

x= 1,410 units

The indifference point is 1,410 units

ABC, a U.S. company sends by fax an offer to sell to XYZ, a French company, 1,000,000 widgets for $1.00 a widget. XYZ sends back
galben [10]

Answer:

The correct option is B. False.

Further explanation is given below in the explanation section.

Explanation:

Offer From ABC Company to XYZ Company:

1,000,000 widgets to sell.

Selling Price of 1 widget = $1.00

Total Price = $1,000,000

Counter Offer from XYZ company to ABC Company.

Selling Price = $0.75

Total Price = 0.75 x 1,000,000 = $750,000

But in the end, ABC company sold its widgets to GHK company.

The correct option to this question is false.

This case is false because here ABC sends an original offer of $1 but XYZ sent a counter offer of $0.75. This counter offer was then duly rejected by ABC.

XYZ cannot again confirm and accept the original offer of ABC because they have already rejected your claim and thus XYZ have to wait until ABC make them another offer.
