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%

Why do some workers lose their job when the minimum wage is​ increased?
Julli [10]
The company can't afford to pay their employees. If you have 100$ you can have ten people working for 10$ an hour and pay everyone for one hour. You can't have 10 people getting paid 20$ because the company would lose money. So if they are paid 20$ per hour, the company can only afford to hire 5 employees.

If Highway 55 Studios can reduce fixed expenses by ​, by how much can variable expenses per unit increase and still allow the co
solniwko [45]

Answer:

$2.25

Explanation:

Please check the attached image for the full question used in answering this question

Breakeven sales is the quantity sold at which net income is equal to zero.

Breakeven sales = fixed cost / (price per unit - variable cost per unit )

$1,215,000 / ($80 - $35) = 27,000

If Highway 55 Studios can reduce fixed expenses by $60,750, variable cost =

27,000 = ($1,215,000 - $60,750) / ($80 - V)

27,000 = 1,154,250 / ($80 - V)

V = $37.25

Variable cost would increase by  : $37.25 - $35 = 2.25
