Answer:

d. 9.31 %

Explanation:

in order to solve this question you cannot use the approximate yield to maturity since it will yield an approximation, but not an exact answer:

approximate YTM = {70 + [(1,000 - 788)/4]} / [(1,000 - 788)/2] = 13.76%

after tax cost of debt = 13.76% x 0.65 = 8.94%, but that is not an option

we must determine the exact yield to maturity which is determined by the following formula:

$788 = $70/(1 + i) + $70/(1 + i)² + $70/(1 + i)³ + $1,070/(1 + i)⁴

the simplest way to solve this is by using a financial calculator since the math is complicated. The exact yield to maturity = 14.324%

after tax cost of debt = 14.324% x (1 - tax rate) = 14.324% x 0.65 = 9.31%

kow [346]

The price elasticity of baseball bats is −0.77, this indicates that the demand for bats tends to inelasticity. Therefore, if the manager wants to dispose of his inventory, he would advise you not to lower the price because it would cause a decrease in income. He could raise the price and earn more since being an inelastic demand, the quantity demanded would not be modified as much as the price would change.

  • 18 U.S. Code § 32 (a) Clause 3

Explanation:

With aviation being such a sensitive field that requires a lot of oversight, Congress enacted rules to punish aviation crimes which means that such crimes fall under Federal jurisdiction and as this crime is a crime against an aviation facility, it is a Federal crime.

The crime in question here falls under <em>US. Code 32 - Destruction of aircraft or aircraft facilities under subsection (a)3</em> which talks about damaging an air navigation facility and how this can endanger the safety of flights en route.

Their punishment would be either a fine, imprisonment of not more than five years or both.

Stock splits:
iren [92.7K]

Answer: a. Allow management to conserve cash, give stockholders more shares, and cause no change in total assets, liabilities, or stockholders' equity.

Explanation:

Stock Splits increase the number of shares a company without actually changing their market capitalization by simply dividing the shares available.

There are a bunch of reasons to do this but one of them is to conserve cash. By splitting stock, managers can conserve cash by not paying dividends but still proving that the company can still pay dividends. The Shareholders getting MORE stock would be the reward.

Since Stock splits don't change the Market Capitalization, they don't have an effect on Equity either and by extension Assets and Liabilities.
