Answer:

B. the weighted average cost of capital is minimized

Explanation:

  • The traditional approach to the capital structure shows that there exists an optimal debt to an equity ratio referring to the overall cost of the capital that is minimum and the market values of a form are the maximum.
  • On either side of the curve the changes in financial mix can positive and bring a positive change to the values of the firm. Hence the firm will have an minimized average cost of capital.

Answer:

B. <u>the weighted average cost of capital is minimized </u>

Explanation:  

As per the traditional capital structure theory, as a firm employs more and more debt in it's capital structure, the financial leverage increases and since debt being a cheaper source of finance than equity with interest paid on debt being a tax deductible expense, the overall cost of capital initially falls.

As the firm further keeps increasing the proportion of debt, such debt raises the expectations of equity stockholders which raises the cost of equity and thus the overall cost of capital begins to rise.

An optimal capital structure under the theory refers to the one at which, overall cost of capital or the weighted average cost of capital of the firm is the lowest and value of the firm is the highest.

xeze [42]

Answer:

1.64 years

2.27 years

3.13 years

Explanation:

Discounted payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative discounted cash flows

Present value of cash flow in year 1 = 4300 / 1.13 = 3805.31

Amount recovered in year 1  = -5800 + 3805.31 = -1994.69

Present value of cash flow in year 2 = 4000 / (1.13^2) = 3132.59

Amount recovered in year 2 =-1994.69 + 3132.59 = 1137.90

Payback period = 1 + 1994.69/3132.59 = 1.64 years

B

Present value of cash flow in year 1 = 4300 / 1.13 = 3805.31

Amount recovered in year 1  = -7900 + 3805.31 = -4094.69

Present value of cash flow in year 2 = 4000 / (1.13^2) = 3132.59

Amount recovered in year 2  = -4094.69 + 3132.59 = -962.10

Present value of cash flow in year 3 = 5200 / (1.13^3) = 3603.86

Amount recovered in year 3  = -962.10 + 3603.86 = 2641.76

Payback period = 2 years + -962.10 / 3603.86 = 2.27 years

C

Present value of cash flow in year 1 = 4300 / 1.13 = 3805.31

Amount recovered in year 1  = -10900 + 3805.31 = -7094.69

Present value of cash flow in year 2 = 4000 / (1.13^2) = 3132.59

Amount recovered in year 2  = -7094.69 + 3132.59 = -3962.10

Present value of cash flow in year 3 = 5200 / (1.13^3) = 3603.86

Amount recovered in year 3  = -3962.10 + 3603.86 = -358.24

Present value in year 4 =  4400 / (1.13^4) = 2698.60

Amount recovered in year 4  = -358.24 + 2698.60 = 2340.36

Payback period = 3 years + 358.24 + 2698.60 = 3.13 years

depreciation rate = 8% per year

expected increase in revenue (CF ) = $400

interest rate = 5%

a) Determine the present value of the stream of revenue due to the upgrades

= CF / ( 1 + r ) ^t      where ( 1 + r )^t = 13%

= 400 / 13%

= $3077

IgorC [24]

Answer:

(c) Interview customers to get their opinion about the checkout process  

Explanation:

Customers are those who buy goods or receive services from a business owner. Customers may sometimes not be the consumers because the customers may buy from the company and sell to other people to consume. The customers may also be the consumers at times when they consume what they bought. If customers do not buy from the business owners, they won't be consumers, thou consumers are gods in today's market and life wire of any business.Once customers are satisfied with the products and services provided to them by the company, they will continue to patronize the company and never substitute it for another company.Most companies start having problems or loose customers due to  nonsatisfaction of goods and services render by the company. Therefore, interviewing the customers to get their opinion about the checkout process is the best approach for gaining more insight into the problem because they are in the best position to state why they are not patronising the company's product again.
