Answer:
Assuming that Alpha and Beta are the only two nations in the world, at the equilibrium world price:
Beta will export steel and Alpha will import steel.

b) In the world market, equilibrium will occur at a price of $2.50, when the quantity supplied and demanded will be 80. At this equilibrium price of $2.50, Alpha will supply 25 units, and Beta will supply 55 units. Alpha will demand 35 units, and Beta will demand 45 units. This implies that Beta will supply more than its demand for steel, while Alpha will supply less. Therefore, Beta will export steel and Alpha will import steel.

D
Explanation:
Cash flow is the flow of cash and cash equivalent in and and out of a business.
there are three types of cash flows:
1. Investing cash flow - It involves the use of long term cash. it is the cash flow generated from the purchase and sale of fixed asset e.g. Sale of plant assets.

3. financing cash flow - it shows the net amount of funding a company receives over a given period e.g. issuance of common stock
Reasons why cash flow analysis is popular
- Cash flows are less subject to manipulation when compared with net income
- Cash flow in often positive when net income is negative or zero
The answer to your question is true
Answer:
WACC = 0.08085 or 8.085% rounded off to 8.09%
Option c is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure that can contain one or more of the following components, namely debt, preferred stock and common equity. The formula to calculate the WACC is as follows,
WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate) + wP * rP + wE * rE
Where,
- w represents the weight of each component
- D, P and E represents debt, preferred stock and common equity respectively
- r represents the cost of each component
We first need to calculate the weight of each stock. We know the basic accounting equation is,
Assets = Debt + Equity
We know the debt to equity ratio is 3. Then total assets will be,
Assets = 3 + 1
Assets = 4
Using the CAPM equation, we can calculate the cost of equity.
r = risk free rate + Beta * Market risk premium
r = 0.03 + 1.5 * 0.09
r = 0.165 or 16.5%
WACC = 3/4 * 0.08 * (1 - 0.34) + 1/4 * 0.165
WACC = 0.08085 or 8.085% rounded off to 8.09%
