MrMuchimi

Answer:

The correct answer is option b.

Explanation:

In an open economy, domestic firms have to face competition from the foreign producers. If firms face losses in the long run, because of import competition, these firms will leave the industry.

As the number of domestic firms get reduced, the demand curve of the other firms will become flatter. This happens because of the foreign firms that bring in a large variety of goods in the domestic market.

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

The answer for each requirement is given separately below.

Explanation:

What is the economic production quantity (EPQ)?

EPQ = ((Annual Requirement * setup cost *2)/Carrying cost per unit)^(1/2)

= ((30,000 * 50 *2)/3^(1/2)

= 1000 Units

a. What is the average inventory level for this optimum production quantity?

Average Inventory level = EPQ/2 = 500 units

b. How many production setups would there be in a year?

Production setups = Annual Usage /EPQ = 30 set ups

C. What is the optimal length of production run in days

length of production = Total Requirement/production per day

= 30,000/275

=110 days approx

d. What would be the savings in annual inventory Cost if setup costs can be reduced to US$40 per setup?

If set up cost reduce to $40 than EPQ = 895

So Set up cost = 30,000/ 895 * 40 = 1,360

Carrying cost = 883/2 *3 = 1,325

Total Cost = $ 2,685 -A

If set up cost $50 than EPQ = 1000

So Set up cost = 30,000/ 1000 * 50 = 1,500

Carrying cost = 1000/2 *3 = 1,500

Total Cost = $ 3,000- B

Saving = B-A = 315 Dollars

Your corporation has a marginal tax rate of 35% and has purchased preferred stock in another company. The before-tax dividend yi

Leni [432]

Answer:

5.37%

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

We can calculate the company’s after tax return on preferred by using following formula:-

Company’s After Tax Return = Before Tax Dividend Yield Rate on Preferred Stock × [1 - (1 - Dividend Exclusive) × (Tax Rate)]

= 6% × [1 - (1 - 70%) × (35%)]

= 0.06 × [1 - (1 - 0.70) × (0.35)]

= 0.06 × [1 - (0.30) × (0.35)]

= 0.06 × (1 - 0.105)

= 0.0537

= 5.37%

We simply applied the above formula to determine the company after tax return

Maloney's, Inc. has found that its cost of common equity capital is 17 percent and its cost of debt capital is 6 percent. The fi

Gwar [14]

Answer:

11.64%

Explanation:

The formula to compute WACC is shown below:

= Weightage of debt × cost of debt × ( 1- tax rate) + (Weightage of common stock) × (cost of common stock)

where,

Weighted of debt = Debt ÷ total firm

The total firm includes debt, preferred stock, and the equity which equals to

= $3,000,000 + $2,000,000 = $5,000,000

So, Weighted of debt = ($2,000,000 ÷ $5,000,000) = 0.40

And, the weighted of common stock = (Common stock ÷ total firm)

= $3,000,000 ÷ $5,000,0000

= 0.60

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the value would equal to

= (0.40 × 6%) × ( 1 - 40%) + (0.60 × 17%)

= 1.44% + 10.2%

= 11.64%
