Answer:

-3 million dollars

Explanation:

we have EVA = economic value added

to ge the EVA, we use this formula :

(operating return on the assets - cost of the total capital) multiplied by the total assets

total assets = 100 million

operating return = 12 percent

cost of capital = 15 percent

the EVA = 12% - 15% * 100000000

= -0.03 * 100000000

= -3,000,000 dollars

b. The loss of the value of the shareholder is happening even though the firm is earning ROI that is more than the average firm in the industry.

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

Answer is option A, i.e. airlines would charge the same price  to each type of flyer.

Explanation:

The elasticity of demand for air tickets by vacationers is generally found higher than that of business travelers. the reason behind this is that there is an ample amount of options as well as time in the hands of vacationers and which is not the case with the business travelers. Business travelers do not opt for other modes of transport other than the airway as this saves their time. Therefore, when one requires to create the same elasticity of demand for both types of flyers, then the prices for all of them should be kept the same.

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Cost of equity is 11.2%

WACC is 8.74%

Explanation:

The formula for cost of equity is given below:

Cost of equity=risk free rate+(Beta *risk premium)

risk free rate is the treasury bill rate of 4%

Beta is 0.9

market risk premium is 8%

cost of equity=4%+(0.9*8%)=11.2%

WACC=Ke*E/V+Kd*D/V*(1-t)

Ke is the cost of equity of 11.2%

Kd is the cost of debt of 5%

t is the tax rate of 40% or 0.4

E is the equity weighting of 70% or 0.7

D is the debt weighting of 30% or 0.3

V is the E+D=0.7+0.3=1

WACC=11.20% *0.7/1+(5%*0.3/1*(1-0.4)

WACC=7.84% +0.90% =8.74%

Green Corporation had 2 sets of workers in this category and they are:

Set 1 worked 400 hrs and are paid $8,500

Set 2 worked 300 hrs and are paid $5,000
