Answer: $690,044

Explanation:

First calculate WACC.

Total capital = 10 + 8 = $18 million

WACC = (Weight of debt * after-tax cost of debt) + (weight of equity * cost of equity)

= (8/18 * 3%) + (10/18 * 15%)

= 9.67%

Using the WACC, find the present value of the cashflows for the next 5 years. This will be an annuity.

= 180,500 * (1 - (1 + r) ^-n)/r

= 180,500 * ( 1 - ( 1 + 9.67%) ^ -5)/9.67%

= $690,044.67

= $690,044

They should pay no more than this present value.

So for example if the bill is $100 "2/10 net 30" and you pay within 10 days, you get a 20 cent discount and the balance is $9.80. If you pay in 30 days, the full 10 dollars is due.

amid [387]

Answer: $80

Explanation:

Since the fixed costs are $180,000 and variable costs are $540,000, then the total cost will be:

= Fixed cost + Variable cost

= $180000 + 540000

= $720000

Since there are 9000 units, then the unit sales price will be:

= $720000 / 9000
