Answer:

WACC= 17.95%

Explanation:

Weighted average cost of capital is the average cost of all of the long-term types of finance used by a company weighted according to the that amount of finance used in relation to the total pool of fund.

It is calculated using the formula below:

WACC = (We×Ke)  +  (Wd×Kd)

Ke-cost of equity- 22%

We- equity weight- 100% - 45% = 55%

Kd-After tax cost of debt-10.3%

Wd- 45%

After tax cost of debt = Before tax ×× (1- tax rate)

After tax cost of debt = 13%× (1-0.21) = 10.3%

Cost of equity = 22%

WACC =(0.55× 22%) + (0.45× 13%)=17.95%

WACC= 17.95%

Emma Jones Company has the following information​ available: Account ​12/31/2019 ​12/31/2018 Accounts Payable ​$76,500 ​$80,000
leonid [27]

Answer:

B. No.

Explanation:

The formula to compute the quick ratio is shown below:

Quick ratio = (Quick assets) ÷ (current liabilities)

where,

For 2018

Quick assets = Accounts​ Receivable, net  + Cash and Cash Equivalents + Short minus Term Investments

= $49,000 + $70,000 + $44,000

= $163,000

And, the current liabilities = Accounts Payable +  Income Taxes Payable

                                           =  ​$80,000 + 5,000

                                           = $85,000

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the ratio would equal to

= $163,000 ÷ $90,000

= 1.81 times

For 2019

Quick assets = Accounts​ Receivable, net  + Cash and Cash Equivalents + Short minus Term Investments

= $42,300 + $43,700 + $27,000

= $113,000

And, the current liabilities = Accounts Payable +  Income Taxes Payable

                                           =  ​$76,500 + 2,000

                                           = $78,500

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the ratio would equal to

= $113,000 ÷ $78,500

= 1.43 times

No, as it shows declining from 2018 to 2019

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": indirect exporting.
