The College of Business is deciding between two photocopier options. The first is to lease a high-end machine for $8,400/year. T

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The first is to lease a high-end machine for $8,400/year.The only additional costs are the cost of paper, which is $0.01/sheet.

The other option is to purchase a machine. The cost is $5,000 and the per sheet cost increases (toner, maintenance) to $0.02.

First, we need to determine the total cost formula for each option:

Option 1:

Total cost= 8,400 + 0.01x

Option 2:

Total cost= 5,000 + 0.02x

A) Volume= 270,000

Option 1:

Total cost= 8,400 + 0.01*270,000= $11,100

Option 2:

Total cost= 5,000 + 0.02*270,000= $10,400

Option 2 is the cheapest.

B) Volume= 240,000

Option 1:

Total cost= 8,400 + 0.01*240,000= $10,800

Option 2:

Total cost= 5,000 + 0.02*240,000= $9,800

Option 2 is the cheapest.

C) To determine the indifference point, we need to isolate X:

8,400 + 0.01x= 5,000 + 0.02x

3,400= 0.01x

340,000=x

The indifference point is 340,000 paper sheets.

You are given the following information concerning Parrothead Enterprises:

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

7.85%

Explanation:

Face value of bond =$2000

Price of current bond= face value× 106.5% = $2130

Term= 25 years×2= 50 period

Coupon rate= 7%×1/2= 3.5%

Coupon amount= coupon rate×face value = $2000×3.5/100

=$70 for a period

YTM of bond= [coupon amount+ (maturity value-current price)/Term]/0.6×current price+0.4×maturity value]

YTM of bond= 6.487% per annum

Total market value of bond= 8,400bonds× $2130= $17,892,000

Market value of common stock= 275,000shares × 62.50= $18012500

Weight of common stock= 0.490009385

Weight of preferred stock= 0.023259294

WACC= Wd* Kd + Wc*Kc + Wp*Kp

= 0.486731321× 4.86525% +

0.490009385× 10.9624275+

0.023259294× 4.7368421%

=7.849%

= 7.85%(rounded)

Thus, WACC is 7.85%
