Answer:

A.8.85%

Explanation:

Computation to determine the weighted average cost of capital for Zonk based on the new capital structure.

First step is to calculate the Cost of equity capital using this formula

Cost of equity capital = Risk free rate + (Beta*Market premium)

Let plug in the formula

Cost of equity capital = 2.3% + (1.13*5.3%)

Cost of equity capital=8.28%

Now let determine theWeighted average cost capital

Weighted average cost capital = [.70*.14*(1-.35)]+(.30*.0828)

Weighted average cost capital= [.70*.14*.65]+.02484

Weighted average cost capital=0.0637+.02484

Weighted average cost capital= .0885*100

Weighted average cost capital= 8.85%

Therefore the weighted average cost of capital for Zonk based on the new capital structure is 8.85%

Laurey Inc. is working on its cash budget for May. The budgeted beginning cash balance is $45,000. Budgeted cash receipts total
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

The company needs to borrow $10,000

Explanation:

First, let us state the information given clearly:

Beginning cash balance = $45,000

total cash receipt = $129,000

total cash disbursement = $124,000

desired ending cash balance = $60,000

Next Let us calculate the net cash available after the period's transactions:

Net available cash from transactions = total receipt - total disbursements

= 129,000 - 124,000 = $5,000

Next we were told that the beginning balance = $45,000

This means that without borrowing ;

the net ending cash balance = Net available cash from transactions + beginning cash balance = 5,000 + 45,000 = $50,000

Finally, we are told that the desired ending cash balance = $60,000, and the amount of cash available = $50,000, therefore to meet up the target, the amount that needs to be borrowed is calculated thus:

desired ending cash = available cash + borrowed amount

60,000 = 50,000 + borrowed amount

∴ borrowed amount = 60,000 - 50,000 = $10,000

hence the company needs to borrow $10,000

Alborosie

Answer:

utilitarian perspective      

Explanation:

In simple words, utilitarian approach refers to a method for making decisions in case of ethical dilemmas. Under this approach, the decision making authority makes judgement by focusing on the greater good, that is, making judgement that benefits the most of the individuals and harm the least.

A coin sold at auction in 2017 for $1,965,500. The coin had a face value of $5 when it was issued in 1794 and had previously bee
aksik [14]

Answer:

0.0642 or 6.42%

Explanation:

The period 't' between the year when the coin was issued, 1794, and 1971 is:

t=1971-1794 \\t=177\ years

If the coin had a value of $5 and after a period of t=177 years it was worth $305,000, the annual tax rate by which the coin appreciated is determined by:

305,000 = 5*(1+r)^{177}\\r=\sqrt[177]{61,000}-1\\r=0.0642=6.42\%

The annual rate was 0.0642 or 6.42%.

Luda [366]

Answer:

1.- The operating income would <u>increase </u>for $680

2.- The operating income would <u>decrease</u> for $680

3.- The Operating Income would be $59,500

Explanation:

We are going to use the contribution margin per unit

<u>This way we avoid most of the calculations</u>

1.- Contribution Margin x ΔUnits = ΔOperating Income

CM per units 17 x 40 = <em>680</em>

<em />

2.- Contribution Margin x ∨Units = ∨perating Income

CM per unit x (-40) = <em>-680</em>

<em />

3.- Contribution Margin x Sales Volume - Fixed Cost = Operating Income

17 x 6,800 - 55,700

115.600 - 55,700 =<em> 59,900</em>
