ew stock to raise new equity, it estimates that its WACC will riseto 10.8 percent. The company believes that it will exhaust itsretained earnings at $2,500,000 of capital due to the number ofhighly profitable projects available to the firm and its limitedearnings. The company is considering the following seven investmentprojects:
Project Size IRR

A $650,000 14.0%

B 1,050,000 13.5

C 1,000,000 11.2

D 1,200,000 11.0

E 500,000 10.7

F 650,000 10.3

G 700,000 10.2

Answer:

Projects E,F and G should NOT be considered.

Optimal Capital  is $5,750,000

Explanation:

The accept-or-reject rule, using the IRR method, is to acceptthe project if its Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is higher than theWeighted Average Cost of Capital(k) [r>k]. The project shall berejected if its internal rate of return is e lower than theWeighted Average Cost of Capital cost of (r<k)

                                 Accept if        r>k

                                 Reject if         r<k

                                   Mayaccept if r = k

If the Weighted Average Cost of Capitl (WACC) is less than IRRrate, then the project has positive NPV; if it is equal to IRR, theproject has a Zero NPV, and if it is greater than the IRR, theproject has negative NPV.

The projects should be accepted as the rate of return on theproject is higher than the WACC(10.8%) which means that theprojects will be profitable as the returns are higher than the costof the project (capital).  Considering this projects E,F and G should NOT be considered.

And considering the sizes the Optimal Capital  is $5,750,000 (the addition of sizes of all projects)

How does the use of new technology in industry benefit producers more so than consumers?
katen-ka-za [31]

The use of new technology in industry has benefited producers more so than consumers as, "Producers can transport goods around the world."

With faster decision-making and quick responses, the new technology enables producers to become more competitive in the market. The technology is helping to increase the efficiency of systems, products and services.

With the help of technology, the products which are produced are being marketed and then they are being transported around the world. This way it enables the business to grow rapidly and increases the profits.

Seven years ago, you paid $324,800 to purchase a rental house. the maintenance expenses average $200 a month and property taxes
Mariulka [41]

The value that would be assigned to this house if you decide to use it as your office would be $ 425300

<h3>How to solve for the value of the house using opportunity cost</h3>

To get the value of the house, you have to get the opportunity cost of the house. This is the foregone alternative or benefits forgone due to another choice.

The formula is opportunity cost = Apprised Value - Selling costs

The apprised value = $439,500.

selling cost =  $14,200

$439,500 - $14,200

= $ 425300

Hence the value that should be assigned to it is $ 425300
