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.

Masja [62]

Answer:

The appropriated answer will be "$1,700,000".

Explanation:

Revenue understood by completion percentage = Design balance throughout progress = $200,000

The percentage completion throughout the whole year will be:

⇒  \frac{200,000}{2,000,000 }

⇒  200,000 - 30,000

⇒  170,000 ($)

Now,

The total estimated cost of the project at the end the year 2021 will be:

⇒  \frac{170,000}{10 \ percent}

⇒  1,700,000 ($)

What is aacceleration?<br>Who is the most active MOD here? ​
swat32

Answer:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Usually, acceleration means the speed is changing, but not always. When an object moves in a circular path at a constant speed, it is still accelerating, because the direction of its velocity is changing.
