Answer:

16%

Explanation:

The computation of the WACC is given below:

But before that following calculation should be done

Cost of equity

= Risk free rate of return + beta × (market return - risk free rate)

= 3% + 1.5 × (14% - 3%)

= 19.5%

Market value of equity = 35 million shares ×$15 = $525 million

And, the market value of debt = 200,000 × $905.4 = $181.08 million

Now the WACC is

= cost of equity × weight of equity + cost of debt × (1 - tax rate) × weight of debt

= 19.5% × ($525 ÷ 525 + 181.08) + 9.4% × (1 - 0.39) × ($181.08 ÷  525 + 181.08)

= 19.5% ×0.744 + 5.734% × 0.256

= 15.975%

= 16%

ExtremeBDS [4]

How will the general ledger accounts in the trial balance most likely differ if the company were a retail store rather than a wholesale company?

A general ledger account is used to record transactions that a company has. A trial balance has all of the general ledger accounts listed shows all of the debits and credits that a company has faced. A retail store will have smaller product transactions over a wholesale store due to the wholesale store selling in bulk. There will likely be more credits and debits for a retail store whereas a wholesale store may have more debits as they are less likely to have returns.

How will they differ for a hospital or a government unit?

A hospital or government unit will have vastly different general ledger reports due to the type of agency they are. These transactions will deal more with insurance or big dollar companies rather than individuals on a smaller scale. A trial balance is not a financial statement but it used to show balances that an organization has.

What is at saturated market like for sellers?
garri49 [273]

The meaning of being saturated or reaching the point of saturation in the business terms is the time in which a market does not generate any more demand for a certain market. This may be due to increase competition, decrease need or the product became unusable. For sellers, saturation means two things, first is that this is the chance for you to give your business a makeover. You can level up your products or service or try a new strategy for your business. The endpoint is that you need to diversify so that the customers will not get tired of the same product of service all over again. If you observed that with all the things you possibly did to keep the product or service growing, you haven't seen any change the market demand then the second thing you may want to do is to stop your business because it will only be a waste of time, research and money.

melomori [17]

Calculation of equal amount to deposit each year to get the future amount:


It is given that a manufacturer of triaxial accelerometers wants to have $2,800,000 available 10 years from now. So we can say that Future value is $2,800,000. We are also given that the deposit rate is 6% per year.

In order to find out the equal amount to deposit each year we need to calculate the annuity using the future value of annuity formula as follows;

Annuity = Future value of annuity / FV of $1 annuity

FV of $1 annuity (at 6% rate for 10 years) is 13.18079


Hence,

Annuity =2,800,000 / 13.18079 = 212,430.36

Hence , equal amount to deposit each year is $212,430.36
