Answer:

5.74%

Explanation:

WACC = weight of equity x cost of equity +  weight of debt x cost of debt x (1 - tax rate)

weight of debt =  D / (D + E) = 1.35/ (1.35 + 1) = 0.574468 = 57.4468%

weight of equity = 100% - 57.4468% = 42.5532%

let x represent pretax cost of debt

8.1% = 0.425532 x 14% +( 0.574468x) x 0.65

8.1% = 0.373404x + 5.957448%

solve for x

x = 5.74%

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

C) abandon the production of jam to fully specialize in the production of peanut butter and then trade with Company Q for jam.

Explanation:

According to different theories about trade specialization, a company or even a country should specialize in producing only those products that they can make better than their competition, i.e. have a comparative or absolute advantage in their production.  

In this case, since Company R has a comparative advantage in the production of peanut butter, it should specialize in producing only that. In case they need jam, they should trade with Company Q in order to get some jam. Eventually Company Q  will only produce jam since they have a comparative advantage in jam production.

Volgvan

Answer:

C. the greater is the marginal productivity of labor relative to that of capital

Explanation:

An isoquant is a curve that shows all the combinations of inputs that yield the same level of output.

When adding one factor holding the other factor constant inevitably, leads to lower output levels, the isoquant must become steeper, as more capital is added instead of labour, and flatter when labour is added instead of capital. Returns to capital even decline.
