Answer:

10.25%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Long-term debt = 45%, after-tax cost = 7%

Preferred stock = 15%, after-tax cost = 10%

Common stock equity = 40%, after-tax cost = 14%

Now,

The  weighted average cost of capital for this firm will be calculated as:

= Long term debt × after-tax cost + Preferred stock × after-tax cost + Common stock equity × after-tax cost

or

= 0.45 × 0.07 + 0.15 × 0.10 + 0.40 × 0.14

or

= 0.0315 + 0.015 + 0.056

= 0.1025

or

= 0.1025 × 100%

= 10.25%

Answer:

Inventory turnover

Explanation:

From the question we are informed Mayree who is the owner of Spines Books, a small eclectic-style bookstore in a bustling college town. Mayree prides herself in selecting hard-to-find books and magazines that her clientele enjoy. Recently, Mayree is experiencing a cash flow shortage, and she is concerned that she may be purchasing too many copies of each title. Having recently completed a business class, I can suggest to Mayree that she calculate the Inventory turnover ratio for her store, and then compare it to other stores in her industry. Inventory turnover can be regarded as rate at which particular company make sales of it's stock of goods and make replacement of its stock of goods during a particular period.

The inventory turnover ratio can be regarded as formula which is cost of goods that is been sold divided by average inventory within the same period.

Mathematically,

inventory turnover=[Net sales/ Average inventory at particular selling price]
