Answer:
A: Optimization in differences
B: Optimization in levels
C: Optimization in differences
D: Optimization in levels
Explanation:
Optimization in levels <em>Vs.</em> Optimization in differences
Optimization in levels is a method of selecting different alternatives on the basis of calculating net benefits( net benefits = benefits - costs) a person realizes from those alternatives.
Optimization in differences, on the other hand, is a method of selecting different alternatives on the basis of calculating change in levels of costs and change in levels of benefits to derive net change in benefits.
How to choose?
<u>Optimization in levels</u>: (net benefit) look at total benefit – total cost
<u>Optimization in differences</u>: look at the change in the net benefit of one option compared to another
Because more countries focus on stuff like electronics and other technological stuff.
Answer:
After tax cost of debt is 7.69%
Explanation:
The after tax cost of debt can be computed by first of all determining the pre-tax cost of debt .
The pre-tax of debt is the yield to maturity computed using the rate formula in excel as follows:
=rate(nper,pmt.-pv,fv)
nper is the number of times the bond would pay coupon interest over the entire bond life ,which is 15 years multiplied by 2=30
pmt is the semi-annual interest which is $1000*8.9%/2=$44.5
pv is the current price of the bond at $962
fv is the face value of the bond at $1000
=rate(30,44.5,-962,1000)=4.69%
this is the semi-annul yield ,annual yield is 9.38%
The 9.38% is the pretax
after tax cost of debt=9.38%*(1-0.18)=7.69%
0.18 is the 18% tax rate
Wrong. You have to subtract the amount of the major purchase from your net pay.
