Answer:

$751,562.50 and $837,203.125

Explanation:

The formula to compute the value of the firm under the MM proposition approach is shown below:

In first case

= {EBIT × ( 1 - tax rate)} ÷ WACC

= {$185,000 × ( 1 - 0.35)} ÷ 16%

= $120,250 ÷ 16%

= $751,562.50

Since no debt is there which means the firm is unlevered firm and computation is done accordingly.

All other information which is given is not relevant. Hence, ignored it

In second case

= {EBT× ( 1 - tax rate)} ÷ WACC

= {$172,850 × ( 1 - 0.35)} ÷ 16%

= $112,352.50 ÷ 16%

= $702,203.125

EBT = $185,000 - $135,000 × 9%

       = $185,000 - $12,150

       = $172,850

So, the value of firm would be

= $702,203.125 + $135,000

= $837,203.125

You have just determined that the actual number of workstations that will be used on an assembly line is 6, using assembly line
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The assembly line efficiency is 4.17% (to 2 decimal places)

Explanation:

Efficiency is a measure of productivity that is used to determine how well a target is achieved, by finding the ratio of the actual output to the expected output. In this example, the number of units is the output of the assembly line, and the assembly line efficiency is calculated as follows:

Assembly line efficiency = (actual output) /(required output) × 100

actual output = 25 minutes

if 5 minutes = 1 unit

∴ 25 minutes = 1/5 × 25 = 5 units

∴ actual output = 5 units

required output = 120 units

∴ efficiency = \frac{5}{120} *100

= 4.17%
