Answer:
(a) 2
(b) 2.25
(c) 12.5%
Explanation:
To solve this question we need to remember that
(a) 10 persons produce 160 valves in 8 hours, this implies a productivity of 2=160/(8x10)
(b) 2.25= 180/(8x10)
(c) Percentage change is given by (2.25-2)/2=.125
Answer: Integrated Communications Unit
Explanation: The Integrated Communications Unit is one of the NIMS characteristics that allows units from diverse agencies to connect, share information and achieve situational awareness.
The Integrated communications unit includes:
1. The “hardware” systems that transfer information.
2. Planning for the use of all available communications frequencies and resources.
3.The procedures and processes for transferring information internally and externally.
Communications needs for large incidents may exceed available radio frequencies. therefore, other communications resources like cell phones or secure phone lines can be the only communications methods used to coordinate communications and to transfer large amounts of data effectively.
Answer:
A vertical analysis income statement uses Sales as a base and makes everything else a percentage of sales.
Vertical Analysis Statement
Amount Percentage
Sales $1,500,000 100%
Cost of Goods sold ($900,000) 60%
Gross Profit $600,000 40%
Cost of Goods sold percentage = 900,000 / 1,500,000
= 60%
Gross Profit percentage = 600,000 / 1,500,000
= 40%
Answer:
12.085 %
Explanation:
WACC = Cost of Equity x Weight of Equity + Cost of Preference Stock x Weight of Preference Stock + Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt
Remember to use the after tax cost of debt :
after tax cost of debt = interest x ( 1 - tax rate)
= 8.00 % x (1 - 0.35)
= 5.20 %
therefore,
WACC = 22.00 % x 0.40 + 8.50 % x 0.05 + 5.20 % x 0.55
= 12.085 %
thus
the firm's WACC given a tax rate of 35 percent is 12.085 %
