The Outlet Mall has a cost of equity of 16.8%, a pretax cost of debt of 8.1%, and a return on assets of 14.5%. Ignore taxes. Wha

krok68 [10]

Answer:

0.36

Explanation:

Cost of equity of 16.8%,

Pretax cost of debt of 8.1%

Return on assets of 14.5%

As per NN proposition: Cost of equity = Return on asset + D/E ratio (Return on asset-Cost of debt)

0.168 = 0.145 + D/E (0.145 - 0.082)

0.168 - 0.145 = D/E (0.064)

0.023 = D/E (0.064)

D/E = 0.023/0.064

D/E = 0.359375

D/E = 0.36

Thus, the debt-equity ratio is 0.36

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

It would be positive but might be either decreasing or increasing

Explanation:

Total utility (TU) is the utility which is defined as the aggregate satisfaction received or gained through consuming the given aggregate quantity of the good and service.

Marginal utility (MU), is the one which is defined as the satisfaction received from consuming an extra or additional unit or quantity of the specific good or service.

So, when the aggregate utility is increasing, then the marginal utility would be positive but might be either decreasing or increasing.

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Current ratio = 1.37 times

Quick Ratio = 1.15 times

Explanation:

The current ratio and quick ratios both are measures to assess the liquidity position of businesses. These are useful indicators of how well the business is equipped to meet its current obligations using its liquid assets.

To calculate these ratios, we must first determine the value of current assets. We are given the value of net working capital. The net working capital is the difference between the current assets and the current liabilities.

Net Working capital = Current assets - Current Liabilities

2060 = Current Assets - 5550

2060 + 5550 = Current Assets

Current assets = $7610

Requirement 1.

The current ratio is calculated as follows,

Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities

Current ratio = 7610 / 5550

Current Ratio = 1.3711 rounded off to 1.37 times

Requirement 2.

The quick ratio is calculated as follows,

Quick Ratio = (Current Assets - Inventories) / Current Liabilities

Quick Ratio = (7610 - 1250) / 5550

Quick Ratio = 1.1459 rounded off to 1.15 times
