Answer:
10.25%
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Long-term debt = 45%, after-tax cost = 7%
Preferred stock = 15%, after-tax cost = 10%
Common stock equity = 40%, after-tax cost = 14%
Now,
The weighted average cost of capital for this firm will be calculated as:
= Long term debt × after-tax cost + Preferred stock × after-tax cost + Common stock equity × after-tax cost
or
= 0.45 × 0.07 + 0.15 × 0.10 + 0.40 × 0.14
or
= 0.0315 + 0.015 + 0.056
= 0.1025
or
= 0.1025 × 100%
= 10.25%
Answer:
The answer is B.
Explanation:
Unemployed people are those who are out of work and who are actively looking for a job. They are also those citizens they are willing to work but cannot find.
The unemployment rate is 6 percent.
So, The number of unemployed workers in this economy is 9 million (6 percent of 150 million civilian labour force)
We cannot use the total population because out of it, we have young citizen and old ones who are not searching for or willing to work.
Answer:
B) countries with higher GDP per person tend to have healthier environments.
Explanation:
According to the 2020 Environmental Performance Index (EPI) elaborated by Yale and Columbia universities, a strong positive correlation exists between high GDP per capita and healthier environments. There are a few exceptions to this correlation, in Asian (especially Arab) countries where GDP per capita might be high, but the vast majority of income is received by a vary small number of people. But in the rest of the world, a high GDP per capita generally results in healthier environments.
Answer:
Explanation:
1. To find the cost per unit of production, first we find the total cost. So we multiply the unit of each factor used times its cost.
capital: 2*$10=$20
raw materials: 5*$4=$20
labour: 8*$3=$24
Total cost: $20+$20+$24=$64
Then we divide the total cost over the total units produced:
Cost per unit: $64/640=$0,1 Answer is B
2. If the cost per unit of raw materials increases from $4 to 8$. Then the total cost of production will be:
capital: 2*$10=$20
raw materials: 5*$8=$40
labour: 8*$3=$24
Total cost: $20+$40+$24=$84
To find how much the cost per unit will rise, to find how much it rises
64$→100%
$84←x
x=($84*100%)/$64=131.2%
131.2%-100=31.2%. The answer is B
3. Because there is a change in raw materials, then there would be changes in the supply demand. In this case, the total cost and the cost per unit increased, then it is a negative shock to the supply demand. This is represented as a shift to the left. The answer is D
