Answer:

Given the following data;

Nominal interest rate = 7 percent.

Real interest rate = -2.5 percent

Real interest rate = Nominal interest rate - Inflation

Inflation = Nominal interest - Real interest rate

Inflation = 7 - (-2.5)

Inflation = 9.5%

<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>

<u>Part a: </u>                                                                            

Revenue  5000 multiply 6.6   33000

Should be accepted as it will increase profitability by $6000          

Part b1&b2:                                 Cost to Make  Cost to Buy          

Material Cost                40000*2.7  108000      

Labor Cost                40000*1.2  48000      

Manufacturing Cost  40000*1.2  48000      

Prod Supervisor Salary             72000      

Purchase Cost  40000*6.72               0  268800          

Total Cost                               276000  268800

Part b3:

The Timken Company has announced a rights offer to raise $5.1 million. The company's stock currently sells for $34 per share, th
omeli [17]

Answer:

Right price =$33.50

Explanation:

<em>The theoretical ex-right price is the weighted average price at which shares are expected to settle after a right-issue,</em>

<em>It is the weighted average price of value of shares of the before-right price and the right price</em>

Ex-rights price

=(Before-right value of shares + Proceed from rights )/Total number of shares after rights issue

Number of rights issue units = amount to be raised /Right price per share

= $5.1 m/$30 = 170,000 units

Before - rights value = 1,207,000 × $34 = 41,038,000

Proceed from rights = 170,000 × $30 = 5,100,000

The ex-right price = (41,038,000 + 5,100,00)/(1,207,000 +170,000) units

Right price =$33.50
