Answer:

10.12 %

Explanation:

Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) is the cost of permanent sources of capital pooled together. It shows the risk of the business and is used to evaluate projects.

WACC = Cost of equity x Weight of Equity + Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt + Cost of Preference Stock x Weight of Preference Stock

<u>Remember to use the After tax cost of debt :</u>

After tax cost of debt = Interest x (1 - tax rate)

                                    = 10​% x ( 1 - 0.40)

                                    = 6.00 %

<u>Cost of equity :</u>

Cost of equity = Return from Risk free security + Beta x Risk Premium

                        = 4.00 % + 1.8 x 8.00%

                        = 18.40 %

<u>Cost of Preference Stock :</u>

Cost of Preference Stock  = Dividend / Market return x 100

                                            = $2.50 / $ 25 x 100

                                            = 10%

therefore,

WACC = 18.40 % x 30 % + 6.00 % x 60 % + 10.00% x 10%

           = 10.12 %

thus,

Ford's weighted average cost of capital is 10.12 %

sergij07 [2.7K]
(Two arguments that support IT) - 1: people will still continuing to vote or trade other countries, 2: people will get good wages with their trades. (Two arguments that do not support IT) - 1: upon their trades, they will get high taxes, 2: some people trades that was stolen from the society. In my opinion the world and the USA are usually similar, in fact USA will eventually hated the IT because the Russians and its friends and at Middle East still continuing and make an agreement to other neighbor countries and the worst part they are still continuing trading weapons, or parts of the nuclear weapon.

*The best answer will receive brainliest, I will friend you, and I will like all of the questions you've asked or answered.
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

The challenges my business would face would be that we would have trouble communicating and producing products. We use the internet so much every day and it is essential in emailing and other methods of communication. We have to communicate with customers, contractors and installers among many others. We also need the internet for sending orders and order designs to the machines that do the cut-outs needed for the products. Production time would slow down dramatically if we were to try to cut out the products on our own or if we were to have to input the designs manually. Communication between different areas would take much more time because we would have to make landline phone calls to them instead of sending out emails. Our drawing staff, the people who create the designs would also have difficulties working. This is because we draw using an online webspace so that it can be easily looked over then transferred to the machines. Drawers would have to create by hand and then walk the design over to the other areas to be produced. Those are some challenged that our company would face if we had to work without power for an entire day.

Quick ratio = 1.30 (Option C)

<u>Explanation:</u>

Quick ratio or acid test ratio is calculated as follows:

(Cash plus marketable securities plus accounts receivable ) divide by total current liabilities

In our question, we have been given with the data:

Cash = 45 million

Marketable securities = 33 million, accounts receivable = 66 million, total current laibailities = 111 million

So, let us now put the given values in the above stated formula:

Quick ratio = ( 45 plus 33 plus 66) divide by 111

After calculating we get, 1.30

Therefore, the quick ratio is 1.30
