Answer:
The WACC will be 10% for average risk
below when the risk is low
and above 10% when the risk is higher than average
as the cost of capital (required return from the stockholders) will increase pushing the WACC higher
Explanation:
As the WACC is composed by the cost of debt and the cost of equity a higher risk will require a better return for the investor thus, the equity proportion that determinates the WACC will change along the project risk.
Answer:
market net operating profit per square foot = $8.80
Explanation:
total investment = $145 per square foot
the investor requires a 6% rate of return = $145 x 6% = $8.70 per square foot
total revenue per square foot = $11
proportional market vacancy and credit loss = $11 x 5% = ($0.55)
<u>other expenses = $11 x 15% = ($1.65) </u>
market net operating profit per square foot = $8.80
The project should be carried out since the net operating profit is larger than the investor's required rate of return.
Explanation:
Let’s explore one by one as proposed:
An oil cartel raises oil prices: all prices in the oil-related products will increase making it more expensive for companies to be able to afford employees. As the US economy is heavily based on oil import and consumption, the unemployment rate (let´s call it UR from now on) would increase. Countries that export more than import could benefit from this scenario.
The U.S. dollar gains value against foreign currencies: It would be more expensive to produce goods in the US as its currency becomes stronger. Hence companies could choose to produce overseas, increasing the UR. One of the factors that attract investments is a cheap currency, meaning that a company could operate there at lower costs than anywhere else.
American consumers expect higher income in the future: As fights about average salary would arise between employees and companies, igniting even sindicalization, its proper to think that the same as above could occur; companies could choose to produce overseas in countries less demanding of labor rights and income, such as China provinces (I would recommend for you to watch American Factory, a awarded Netflix documentary about that subject).
Brazil experiences economic growth and increases its demand for U.S. exports: as I said in the first alternative, a country that has increased or more expensive exports could benefit from that creating more jobs, in this case decreasing the UR. If Brazil demands more US products, more has to be produced by the country, which would mean more people employed in this attractive sector.
U.S. real estate values rise: to be honest, it only affects indirectly. As housing becomes more expensive, people have to work more to be able to afford housing. That would mean they seeking better-paying jobs or in the absence of those being homeless of at least unable to buy a home. We could argue that the UR would decrease because it becomes more expensive to afford housing and hence people would migrate more but that’s a long shot rationale.
Answer:
c. fall in the short run, and fall even more in the long run.
Explanation:
The aggregate demand shifts to the left in recession or contractions, in consequence the level of prices falls. For this analysis we consider the shor-run supply curve with a positive slop.
As we know, the economy in the long run tends to equilibrium, where the the production level is fixed and equal to the potential of production of the economy. The initial reduction of prices incentives the consumption in the long run, stabilizing with the long run quantites in a minor level of prices.

Brainstorming is a technique for the decision making, it encourages arguments between the individuals but this sometimes result in conflicts and disagreements.
<h3 /><h3>What is decision making?</h3>
Decision making is the technique in which the decision is decided, according to the situation and after careful analysis of the environment decision is made.
Force Field technique is a decision making technique, in this technique the participants write the decision in the middle of the paper and list the forces that require and resisting changes.
Decision making techniques are important and should be used to make an effective decision, in a complex business it is difficult to apply the technique but it is also important to implement the technique.
Brainstorming is the technique in which all the participants sit together and share their ideas while some challenge the ideas and so a decision with an agreement is made.
