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%

SSSSS [86.1K]
You don't communicate to convey activities, or to integrate activities. We can, therefore, eliminate answers "a," "b," and "e." 

So is our purpose to discuss or organize an activity? Either answer fits. We discuss activities to gather the opinions of others regarding said activities. But discussing is, itself, a form of communicating, it is not an outcome. The other points listed are outcomes "we provide... influence... [through communication]." Therefore, the answer must be "c. organize".

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

$150,000

Explanation:

Ending inventory, the value of goods available for sale at the end of the accounting period, plays an important role in reporting the financial status of a company and can best be figured out using the equation,

Ending Inventory = Beginning Inventory + Net Purchases - Cost of Goods Sold (or COGS)

Beginning Inventory = $160,000 in retail

Net purchases = $500,000 in retail +$10,000 Markups

Cost of goods sold = $500,000

So, End Inventory = 160,000+500,000+10,000-500,000

End Inventory = $150,000

Bonds are a form of ________, with bond prices and interest rates that move in _________ . a. equity; the same direction b. equi
forsale [732]

Answer:

(d) debt; opposite direction

Explanation:

Bonds or debentures represent fixed interest bearing instruments issued by corporates to raise long term funds i.e usually greater than 1 year repayable after a fixed duration.

Bonds could be of various forms such as zero coupon bonds, deep discount bonds, face value bonds etc

The common aspect of all being bonds represent debt which a corporation owes which must be repaid after a fixed duration. Also bonds demand periodic interest payments i.e fixed obligation which cannot be refused by the issuer company.

There is an inverse relationship between bond prices and market interest rates.

Reason : This is because if a higher interest rate prevails in the market than the coupon rate offered by the issuer, the issuer will have to reduce the price of it's bonds so as to make them attractive else investors would rather invest in other bonds in the market offering a higher rate of return.
