Answer:

10.77%

Explanation:

FV: $1000

PV: $845.87

PMT: $60

Nper: 40 = (25 years - 5 years ago)* 2 for semi-annual payment

We use excel to calculate semi-annual discount rate by formula Rate(Nper,PMT,-PV,FV)

= rate(40,$60,-$845.87,$1000) = 7.18%

⇒ annual rate = semi-annual rate * 2 = 7.18% * 2 = 14.36%

after-tax cost of debt = 14.36% * (1 - 25%) = 10.77%

When the selling division in an internal transfer has unsatisfied demand from outside customers for the product that is being tr
Kruka [31]

Answer: c. the market price charged to outside customers

Explanation:

When a division is able to sell its products to customers outside the company for a certain price but instead has to transfer these to another division in the company, the minimum transfer price will have to be the selling price to the customers outside so that the division would not make losses.

The division that this good is transferred to will then reflect the cost of acquiring the goods as that selling price. This cost will be accounted for when the new division wants to sell their own goods that way this cost will be recuperated on a company level.

anygoal [31]

Answer:

4. The firm is minimizing its losses OR maximizing its Profit

Explanation:

Assume a monopolistically competitive firm faces the following situation:

P $20, output 13,000 units, MC 16 ATC $22, AVC = $15, and MR = $16 which statement BEST describes the firm's situation?

The statement that best describes the firm situation is that it is maximizing its profit or minimizing its losses because profit is maximized where Marginal cost is equal to marginal revenue, and that is the case of this firm. MC=MR at $16.

In conclusion, since the firm is maximizing profit, it needs not change anything but to keep producing at this level of output and price.
