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%

how can you guarantee that your talk or speech will be interesting to your audience? Is this good advice? Why or why not? Justif
Rashid [163]
If you want to make sure it's interesting, you have to cater your speech/talk to your target audience. This is good advice. A 15-page detailed Powerpoint presentation with note cards would do as much good when presenting to kindergarteners as a water hose would do good in a flood. But, say, it was a fire, then the water hose might come in handy. In our case, your boss at the business meeting would find your Powerpoint much more interesting than kindergarteners would. 

Hope this helps! Have a nice day :)

A firm agreed to pay its workers ​$2525 an hour in 2016 and ​$4141 an hour in 2017. The price level for these years was 241 in 2
NemiM [27]

Answer:

(a) 10.4%; 16.73%

(b) 6.33%

Explanation:

Given that,

Wages paid to the workers in 2016 = $25 per hour

Price level in 2016 = 241

Wages paid to the workers in 2017 = $41 per hour

Price level in 2017 = 245

Real wage rate in 2016:

= (Nominal wages ÷ Price level) × 100

= ($25 ÷ 241) × 100

= 0.104 × 100

= 10.4%

Real wage rate in 2017:

= (Nominal wages ÷ Price level) × 100

= ($41 ÷ 245) × 100

= 0.1673 × 100

= 16.73%

Therefore, the real wage increase received by these workers in​ 2017 is calculated as follows:

= Real wage rate in 2017 - Real wage rate in 2016

= 16.73% -  10.4%

= 6.33%

Hence, these workers do get a raise between the two years.

Fulbright Corp. uses the periodic inventory system. During its first year of operations, Fulbright made the following purchases
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchases:

40 units at $100·

70 units at $80·

170 units at $60

Sales for the year totaled 270 units, leaving 10 units on hand at the end of the year.

First, we need to calculate the average purchase cost.

Average cost= (100*40 + 80*70 + 60*170)/280= $70.7

Now, we can calculate the value of ending inventory:

Inventory= $70.7*10= $707
