Answer:
0.1631 ; 16.31%
Explanation:
Given:
Cost of capital = 14% = 0.14
Debt to equity ratio = 60% = 0.6
Cost of debt = 9% = 0.09
Tax rate = 23% = 0.23
Cost of equity : cost of capital + debt - to - equity ratio * (1 - tax rate) * (cost of capital - cost of debt)
Cost of equity = 0.14 + 0.60 × (1 - 0.23) × (0.14 - .09)
Cost of equity :
0.14 + 0.60 * 0.77 * 0.05
0.14 + 0.0231
= 0.1631 ; 0.1631 * 100% = 16.31%
Answer:
Profit Maximisation
Explanation:
Profit is the difference between total revenue (receipts) from sale & total cost (expenditure) on production.
Total Revenue = Price x Quantity ; Total Cost = Average Cost x Quantity
Economists study all the producer behaviour, based on assumption that : Goal of firm is Profit Maximisation.
Maximising Profit implies maximising the difference between Total Revenue & Total Cost [ TR - TC] . This further leads to producer equilibrium rule of Marginal Revenue = Marginal Cost [MR = MC] ; i.e additional revenue per unit sold equals additional cost per unit production.
