Answer:

The answer is: I would do a cost benefit analysis to try to determine which option is the best.

Explanation:

In a cost-benefit analysis you examine the pros and cons of taking an action. You estimate all the costs involved in taking that action and all the possible benefits (or profits) that you will receive by taking that action.

A company will usually perform cost benefit analysis to try to decide which investments to make. For instance, I have $1 million to invest in different projects, my cost benefit analysis should tell me in which projects I should invest that return the largest profit.

If you are trying to decide how can you lose weight more efficiently, you would first estimate the costs of each activity. How much time you are going to spend? How much you have to pay or are they free?

Then  you also estimate what benefits you might get form doing each activity. How much weight can I lose by doing each one? Can I save money by doing them? Will I enjoy doing it?

After you have estimated all possible outcomes, you will be able to decide which, if any, activity or activities you should do to lose some weight.

uppose your firm has decided to use a divisional WACC approach to analyze projects. The firm currently has four divisions, A thr
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

WACC for A: 9.05%

WACC for B: 9.50%

WACC for C: 12.20%

WACC for D: 12.65%

Explanation:

WACC for a division will be equal: Percentage of Debt in capital employed by the Division x Cost of Debt + Percentage of Equity in capital employed by the Division x Cost of equity = 50% x 6% + 50% x ( Risk free rate + Beta of each Division x Risk premium) = 3% + 50% x ( 4% + beta of each Division x Risk premium)

Risk premium for the 4 Divisions is equal to (Cost of equity for the whole firm - Risk free rate) / beta = 9%

Thus WACC for a division will be equal:  3% + 50% x ( 4% + beta of each Division x 9%).

Substitute beta of each Division from A to D provided in the question, we have: WACC for A: 9.05%; WACC for B: 9.5%; WACC for C: 12.2%; WACC for D: 12.65%.

Within a PPF framework, explain each of the following: (a) a disagreement between a person who favors more domes-tic welfare spe
arsen [322]

Answer:

A. Movement on the PPC

B. Rightwards / Outwards shift of PPC

C. Less Concavity of PPC

Explanation:

Production Possibility Curve is combination of two goods that an economy can produce, given resources & technology (efficient utilisation).

  • It is a downward sloping curve as more of one good can be produced by sacrifising other good, same resources & technology.
  • It is concave curve because of increasing marginal opportunity cost, i.e increasing amounts of a good to be sacrifised to gain additional amount of other good, as resources are not equally efficient in production of both goods.
  • Points on PPC reflect full utilisation, points under PPC reflect under utilisation, points above PPC are unattainable.

a) A disagreement between persons favouring more domestic welfare spending or national welfare spending : Is just an issue of reallocation of same resources, technology. So, PPC doesn't change & there can only be movement on the PPC (more of one good, less of other good)

b) An increase in population : leads to increase in human resource & hence the PPC shifts outwards / rightwards as the production potential of economy rise with more human resource.

c) Technological change that make resources less specialised : would reduce resources' efficiency gap in production of two goods. So, Marginal Opportunity cost reduces & hence the PPC becomes less concave.
