Answer:

12.085 %

Explanation:

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

Remember to use the after tax cost of debt :

after tax cost of debt = interest x ( 1 - tax rate)

                                   = 8.00 % x (1 - 0.35)

                                   = 5.20 %

therefore,

WACC = 22.00 % x 0.40 + 8.50 % x 0.05 + 5.20 % x 0.55

           = 12.085 %

thus

the firm's WACC given a tax rate of 35 percent is 12.085 %

Answer:

B. $6,000

Explanation:

The computation of the annual depreciation expense under the straight-line method is shown below:

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)  

= ($41,000 - $5,000) ÷ (6 years)  

= ($36,000) ÷ (6 years)  

= $6,000

liq [111]

Answer:

D) Catering to entrepreneurs

Explanation:

Catering to entrepreneurship is a business practice carried out by corporations that generally seek to purchase start ups for the new technologies that they developed (including patents) rather than for their business model or profits. E.g. [email protected] paid $2 billion for Oculus, and Google acquired Nest for $3.2 billion. None of these companies actually made any money, but the innovations that they develop may generate a lot of money if they are backed up by a major player.  

In this case, catering for entrepreneurs is a similar concept applied within an organization that tries to foster innovations.
