Answer:

Explanation:

First, find the YTM of the bond (rD), you can do this with a financial calculator using the following inputs;

Maturity of the bond : N = 20

Annual coupon payment; PMT = 8%*1000 = 80

Face value; FV = 1000

Price of the bond ; PV = -1,050

then CPT I/Y = 7.51% (this is the Pretax cost of debt; the rD)

Next, find the cost of equity (rE) using CAPM;

CAPM; r = risk free + beta (Market risk premium)

rE = 0.0450 + 1.20(0.0550)

rE = 0.0450 + 0.066

= 0.111 or 11.1%

Next, WACC formula = wE*rE + wD*rD(1-tax) whereby;

w = weight of..

rD= pretax cost of debt

WACC = (0.65*0.111) + [0.35*0.0751(1-0.40) ]

WACC = 0.07215 + 0.015771

= 0.0879

Therefore, WACC = 8.79%

You are 30 years old today and are considering studying for an MBA. You just received your annual salary of $50,000 and expect i
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Yes, you should take the MBA because the NPV of taking the MBA is positive.

Explanation:

the total economic costs of taking the MBA program include the lost wages + the costs of taking the MBA and any interest you could have earned by investing it on something else = ($50,000 x 1.03) + ($50,000 x 1.03²) + (2 x $30,000 x 1.08) = $51,500 + $53,045 + $64,800 = $169,345

the present value of your total economic costs:

$51,500/1.08 + $53,045/1.08² + $32,400/1.08 + $32,400/1.08² = $47,685.19 + $45,477.54 + $30,000 + $27,777.78 = $150,940.51

if you continued to work, your salary at year 3 would be $54,636.35 and it would continue to increase by 3% every year. The salary that you can earn with an MBA is $80,000 and it will grow by 4% per year. I used an excel spreadsheet to calculate future salaries and the differential amount between them. Then I calculated the PV at the beginning of year 3 of the differential income.

The PV of the differential income today = $560,281.31 /1.08³ = $444,769.38

the NPV of taking an MBA = $444,769.38 - $150,940.51 = $293,828.87

The minimum wage law ___________________ a) has a significant effect on the unemployment rate since a large part of the labor fo
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

a) has a significant effect on the unemployment rate since a large part of the labor force earns the minimum wage.

Explanation:

The minimum wage law ensures that all employees have a minimum income to live with dignity. Although there is a big debate among economists, the liberal current suggests that the minimum wage law has a major impact on the unemployment rate, especially among the poorest. According to these economists, the minimum wage is instituted above the productivity level of most people, which causes companies to lose efficiency. If wages were fluctuating, according to market law, more workers would probably be hired for wages tied to their productivity. Therefore, among the options, the first seems to be the most correct.

A student has 4 mangos, 2 papayas, and 3 kiwi fruits. if the student eats one piece of fruit each day, and only the type of frui
Tom [10]

There are 210 ways that he can consume fruits. This can determined using the concept of factorial in mathematics.

Factorial, in mathematics, the product of all positive int or numbers less than or equal to a given positive int or number and denoted by that integer and an interjection point. therefore, factorial seven is written seven!, meaning one × 2 × 3 × 4 × 5 × six × seven.

Factorial zero is defined as equal to one.

Here, we have given the student has three mangoes, two papayas and two kiwi fruits.

so in total he has (3 plus 2 plus 2) =7 fruits.

Let all the fruits be eaten. If he eats one fruit each day then it will take seven days to complete this process.

So according to one popular permutation type where , n=7, n1(mangoes)=3,  n2(papayas)=2,  n3(kiwi)=2.

Using factorial, number of ways =7!/(3!2!2!) =210
