Answer:

1  

Explanation:

Given that,

Weighted average cost of capital = 7%

After-tax cost of debt = 4 percent

Cost of equity = 10 percent

Let the debt of this firm be x, then the equity will be (1 - x),

wacc = (After-tax cost of debt × Debt) + (Cost of equity × Equity)

7% = (4% × x) + [10% × (1 - x)]

0.07 = 0.04x + 0.1 - 0.1x

0.07 = 0.10 - 0.06x

0.06x = 0.10 - 0.07

0.06x = 0.03

x = 0.5

Therefore, if the debt is 0.5 then the equity is 0.5.

Hence, the debt to equity ratio will be:

= 0.5 ÷ 0.5

= 1

The debt-equity ratio is 1 for the firm to achieve its targeted weighted average cost of capital.

Nuetrik [128]

Answer: Please refer to Explanation.

Explanation:

1. Honesty.

State the purpose of your call to the secretary and sell your product. For instance, " Hello, my name is Mr. Petal and I represent a fast rising Paper and Metal Container company. After researching about your company, I felt it most expedient to get in touch with Mr. Firestone as I believe this is business he will be interested in. We offer perks that are unmatched in the industry".

2. Persistence.

You can be persistent on the phone if you detect deceit in the secretary's tone.

For instance,

" Having been in the chemical industry myself, I know such an opportunity does not come often and I really do guarantee that we give the best benefits in the industry. If you can, just let me talk to Mr. Firestone, I promise that neither of you will regret it".

If it still doesn't work, ask for a convenient time you can call back.
