Economist: On average, the emergency treatment for an elderly person for injuries resulting from a fall costs $11,000. A new the

rapeutic program can significantly reduce an elderly person's chances of falling. Though obviously desirable for many reasons, this treatment program will cost $12,500 and thus cannot be justified.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the conclusion of the argument?
(A) Among elderly people who had followed the program for only a few months, the number of serious falls reported was higher than it was for people who had followed the program for its recommended minimum length of one year.
(B) Falls resulting in serious injuries are less common among elderly people living in nursing homes than they are among elderly people who live alone at home.
(C) A frequent result of injuries sustained in falls is long-term pain, medication for which is not counted among the average per-person costs of emergency treatment for elderly people's injuries from such falls.
(D) The new therapeutic program focuses on therapies other than medication, since overmedication can cause disorientation and hence increase the likelihood that an elderly person will have a serious fall.
(E) A significant portion of the cost of the new therapeutic program is represented by regular visits by health care professionals, the costs of which tend to increase more rapidly than do those of other elements of the program.

Answer: <em>Option (C) is correct.</em>

Explanation:

<em>A recurrent conclusion of injuries occurred while falling is a long-term pain, medication for these are not taken in consideration among  intermediate per-person costs of emergency cure for aged or old individuals's laceration from such falls</em>, if true, will have the tendency to seriously undermines conclusion of argument given in the comprehension.

This states that argument given in the comprehension has not taken in consideration cost for medicine which overall will increase cost. Thereby with an increase in cost the given statement will become untrue since the cost of surgery and medicine combined is higher than cost, in such a case treatment would be more economical. Therefore it undermines conclusion of argument.

ikadub [295]

Answer:

d. 8.2%

Explanation:

The computation of the 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

= (0.60 ÷ 1.60)

= 0.375

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

                                                              = 1 ÷ 1.60

                                                              = 0.625  

The total firm is

= 0.60 + 1

= 1.60

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= (0.375 × 8%) × ( 1 - 35%) + (0.625 × 10%)

= 1.95% + 6.25%

= 8.20%
