Answer and Explanation:

Given:

Total car = 200

Rate = $29

Computation:

Total increase in rate = a

So , Total decrees in car = 5a

Total income (y) = [200-5a][29+a]

y = 5,800 + 200a - 145a - 5a²

y = 5,800 + 55a - 5a²

y' = dy / da [5,800 + 55a - 5a²]

y' = -10a + 55

in which , y' = 0

0 = -10a + 55

a = 5.5

So , Maximum rate = $ [29+5.5]

Maximum rate = $34.5

maximum income = 5,800 + 55(5.5)- 5(5.5)²

maximum income = 5,800 + 302.5 - 151.25

maximum income = $5951.25

Alexxandr [17]

Option (C) is correct.

We have to use MM proposition that cost of equity will change itself in such a manner so that it can take care of its debt.

Cost of equity:

= WACC of all equity firm + (WACC of all equity - Cost of debt ) × (Debt -to-equity ratio)

At the beginning, when there was no debt,

WACC = cost of equity = 12 %

Levered cost of equity:

= 12% + ( 12% - 6%) × 0.5

= 15%

Therefore, Rearden's levered cost of equity would be closest to 15%.
