Answer:

The answer is creating wealth, with the economic value added is $390,000

Explanation:

The company WACC is: Percentage of mortgage bond in capital employed x Cost of mortgage bond x ( 1 - tax rate) + Percentage of unsecured bond in capital employed x Cost of unsecured bond x ( 1 - tax rate) + Percentage of common stock in capital employed x cost of common stock

In which:  Percentage of mortgage bond in capital employed = 1,000,000/10,000,000 = 10%

Percentage of unsecured bond in capital employed = 3,000,000/10,000,000 = 30%;

Percentage of common stock in capital employed = (10,000,000 - 1,000,000 - 3,000,000) /10,000,000 = 60%

Cost of common stock = Risk free rate + Risk premium = 10% + 5% = 15%;

Tax rate = 40%

Thus, WACC = 10% x 8% x ( 1- 40%) + 30% x 9% x (1-40%) + 60% x 15% = 11.10%.

Thus, Capital cost per year: Capital employed x WACC = 10,000,000 x 11.10% = $1,110,000.

Economic value added = Operating Income - Capital cost = 1,500,000 - 1,110,000 = $390,000.

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

The cash payments for September are $646000

Explanation:

The cash payments for merchandise are divided into to parts. The previous month's 70% payments and this month's 30% payments. Thus, the cash payments for the month of september will be 70% for AAugust purchases and 30% for september's purchases.

Thus the cash payments for merchandise will be,

Cash Payments = 0.7 * 610000 + 0.3 * 730000  = $646000

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

It will take him 45 years

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the number of years it would take to accumulate $1,000,000 if there is a plan to save $500 per month at an interest rate of 5%.

To solve this, we use the following mathematical formula:

Future value of annuity = Annuity payment * {(1+r)^n - 1}/r

Where r is the monthly interest rate and n is the number of months it will take.

From the question, we can identify the following;

Since he earns 5% interest on savings, the actual monthly interest rate will be 5%/12 = 0.4167% = 0.004167

Annuity payment = monthly payment = $500

Future value of annuity = $1,000,000

We substitute these values into the equation:

1,000,000 = 500 * [(1+0.004167)^n - 1]/0.004167

8.334 = (1.004167)^n - 1

1+8.334 = (1.004167)^n

9.334 = (1.004167)^n

To get n, we simply take the log on both sides of the equation

Log 9.334= nLog 1.004167

n = Log9.334/Log1.004167

n = 537 months

Question asks to calculate in years

there are 12 months in a year. The number of years it will take will be 537/12 = 44.76 years and that’s approximately 45 years

Suppose that the united states and canada each produce only two products, televisions and food. The united states can produce 10
Alex

Answer: Trade between the two countries is beneficial when United States trade food to Canada and Canada would trade televisions to the United States.

Explanation: In international trade, each country will produce a good in which it has a comparative advantage (lower opportunity cost).

Opportunity cost of food is,

Unites states = \frac{100}{150} = 0.66

Canada = \frac{300}{330} = 0.90

Opportunity cost of television is,

Unites states = \frac{150}{100} = 1.5

Canada = \frac{330}{300} = 1.1

Since, opportunity cost of food is lower in the United states, United states will export food.

Opportunity cost of television is lower in Canada, Canada will export television to the United States.
