Answer:

Cost of capital = 12.40% (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Cost of equity =  15.4%

Pretax cost of debt = 8.9%

Debt-equity ratio = 0.46

Tax rate = 34%

Computation:

Equity multiplier = 1 + Debt-equity ratio

Equity multiplier = 1 + 0.46

Equity multiplier = 1.46

Weight of equity = 1 / Equity multiplier

Weight of equity = 1 / 1.46

Weight of equity = 0.685

Weight of Debt = 1 - Weight of equity

Weight of Debt = 1 - 0.685

Weight of Debt = 0.315

Cost of capital = [Weight of Debt x Pretax cost of debt] x (1-tax rate) + [Cost of equity x Weight of Debt ]

Cost of capital = [0.315 x 8.9% x (1-0.34)] + [15.4% x 0.6849]

Cost of capital = 12.40% (Approx)

C. not rent the room because the marginal benefit is less than the marginal cost.

D. not rent the room because the marginal benefit is less than the average cost.

Answer:

A. rent the room because the marginal benefit exceeds the marginal cost.

Explanation:

Although , the original operating cost of a room per night is $100 (($10,000/100), but since there are idle capacity (empty rooms), the company will be better off by an incremental profit of $30 ($60 -$30) per room by offering to sell empty rooms for $60 per room, using a marginal (incremental ) approach.

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

I will take $36,230.5 to pay for the education of child.

Explanation:

Cash Invested in the saving account will earn a return of 8% each year and this amount could be withdrawn by the me to pay for the education of child.

We will use following formula to calculate the annual payments

P = r ( PV ) /  [ 1 - ( 1+ r )^-n ]

where

PV = amount of investment = $120,000

r = rate of return = 8%

n = number of period = 4 years

P = 8% ( 120,000 ) / [ 1 - ( 1 + 0.08 )^-4 ]

P = 36,230.5
