Answer:
D. 9.44%
Explanation:
The computation of the weighted average cost of capital is shown below:
Weighted average cost of capital is
= Cost of debt × (1 - tax rate) × weight of debt + cost of equity × weight of equity
= 8% × (1 - 0.30) × 40% + 12% × 60%
= 2.24% + 7.2%
= 9.44%
Hence, the weighted average cost of capital is 9.44%
Therefore the right option is D.
Answer: 4 times
Explanation:
GDP per capita is a way of measuring the wealth Distribution in a country. It is calculated by dividing the Gross Domestic Product by the population of the country. The aim usually is to see if the Country's economy is big enough considering the amount of people it has.
Country C has a GDP per capita of,
= 10,000/500
= $20
Country D has a GDP per capita of,
= 10,000/2,000
= $5
= 20/5
= 4
Country C has a GDP per capita that is 4 times that of C.
Answer:
The answer is Late-mover disadvantages
Explanation:
A late mover is a company that enters a business some time after the business pioneers and early followers.
From the question above, Galaxy Ventures is a late mover in the low-cost housing business. They were at a huge disadvantage, and this includes:
- First of all, lack of customer loyalty and substantial dividends (from the question).
- The pioneers and early followers can set the business standards which may be difficult for a late mover to follow.
- The pioneer can easily create entry barriers that a late-mover might find difficult to break.
Answer:
a. False
Explanation:
A "primary transaction" refers to the selling of <em>new stocks and bonds</em> for the first time towards the public. A great example of this is the "Initial Public Offering" <em>(IPO)</em> which allows "public share issuance."
On the other hand, a "secondary transaction" refers to the<em> trading of investors among themselves.</em> There is no involvement of the issuing companies here. So, this means that if an investor uses the services of a broker to buy and sell stocks that are currently being traded in the stock market,<u> the transaction</u><u> doesn't directly involve the issuing compan</u><u>y.</u> This kind of transaction is then called "secondary."
So, this explains the answer.
Answer:
1. Technical improvements cause production costs to decline, which causes supply to increase and prices to decrease.
2. Decreased unemployment causes consumer incomes to increase which causes demand to increase and hence price to increase.
Explanation:
Demand refers to a consumer's desire to purchase a particular good or service at a given time for a specific price. Supply on the other hand, is the willingness of a producer to produce a particular good or service at a given time for specific price.
1. Production cost is a factor that influences supply. For example, cost of labor or raw material cost. When production costs fall, more products can be produced at a lesser cost. Hence'
- The supply curve shifts right from S1 to S2.
- This causes quantity supplied to increase from QS1 to QS2
- And price to fall from P2 to P1. Please refer Diagram 1 in attachment.
2. When unemployment decreases, it means that more people are working in the economy and hence their incomes are also higher. This means there is a higher purchasing power and also higher demand for products. Hence,
- The demand curve shifts from D1 to D2.
- This causes quantity demanded to increase from QD1 to QD2
- And price to increase from P1 to P2. Please refer Diagram 2 in attachment.
