Answer: 8%

Explanation:

The Annual Percentage Rate or APR for short is calculated by dividing the finance cost by the total amount borrowed in the following manner,

APR = Finance Charge / Amount borrowed.

To calculate the Finance charge we add the interest and the service charge.

Finance charge = 25 + 15

= $40

Back to the APR formula we will have,

APR = Finance Charge / Amount borrowed

APR = 40/500

= 0.08

APR is 8%.

When the activity level declines within the relevant range, what should happen with respect to the fixed cost per unit and varia
viktelen [127]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

The fixed costs are the cost that does not vary with the level of output. It does not vary with the level of activity. The total fixed cost remains constant in the entire production process.

The fixed cost per unit is the ratio of total fixed cost and level of output. It decreases as the output level increases and rises with a decline in activity.

The variable cost is the cost that is incurred on the variable inputs used in the production process. It directly varies with the volume of activity. The total variable cost will increase with the increase of output as more variable inputs are employed.

The variable cost per unit is the cost incurred on each unit of output. It does not change with the level of activity unless there is a change in input prices.

Pearson Motors has a target capital structure of 45% debt and 55% common equity, with no preferred stock. The yield to maturity
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

The Pearson's cost of common equity is 16.00%

Explanation:

For computing the cost of common equity, following formula should be used which is shown below:

WACC = (Equity portion × total cost of equity) + (debt portion × total cost of debt) × (1 - tax rate)

11.50% = (0.55 × total cost of equity) + (0.45 × 0.10) × (1 - 0.40)

11.50% = (0.55 × total cost of equity) + 0.045 × 0.60

11.50% = (0.55 × total cost of equity) + 0.027

11.50% - 2.70% = (0.55 × total cost of equity)

8.80% ÷ 0.55 = total cost of equity

So, total cost of equity = 16.00%

Hence, the Pearson's cost of common equity is 16.00%
