Answer:

$212,882.75

Explanation:

Cost from 2 years now = $190,000

Cost from 9 years now = $120,000

Interest rate = 9% Quarterly

Present Worth = Cost from 2 years now*[1/(1+interest/m)^nm] * Cost from 2 years now*[1/(1+interest/m)^nm]

Present Worth = 190,000*[1/(1+0.09/4)^2*4] + 120,000*[1/(1+0.09/4)^9*4]

Present Worth = 190,000*[1/(1.0225)^8] + 120,000*[1/(1.0225)^36]

Present Worth = 190,000*[1/1.19483] + 120,000*[1/2.22782]

Present Worth = 190,000*0.83693915 + 120,000*0.4488693

Present Worth = 159018.4385 + 53864.316

Present Worth = 212882.7545

Present Worth = $212,882.75

Thus, the amount to invest to cover these cost is $212,882.75

Charlotte's Crochet Shoppe has 10,700 shares of common stock outstanding at a price per share of $63 and a rate of return of 11.
Katarina [22]

Answer:

a. 8.79%

Explanation:

WACC = Weight of debt * Pretax cost * (1 - Tax) + Weight of Equity * Cost of Equity

Value of Equity = 10,700 * $63 = $674,100

Value of debt = 320 * $1000 * 93.6% = $299,520

Weight of Debt = $299,520/($299,520 + $674,000) = 30.76%

Weight of Equity = $674,000/($299,520 + $674,000) = 69.24%

WACC = 30.76% * 5.89% * (1 - 40%) + 69.24% * 11.13%

WACC = 30.76% * 5.89% * 0.60 +  69.24% * 11.13%

WACC = 0.010870584 + 0.07706412

WACC = 0.087934704

WACC = 8.79%

valina [46]

Answer:

The question is not complete, below is an example of the completely stated question:

A firm is producing 1,000 units at a total cost of $5,000. If it were to increase production to 1,001 units, its total cost would rise to $5,008. What does this information tell you about the firm?

a. Marginal cost is $5, and average variable cost is $8.

b. Marginal cost is $8, and average variable cost is $5.

c. Marginal cost is $5, and average total cost is $8.

d. Marginal cost is $8, and average total cost is $5.

Answer:

d. Marginal cost is $8, and average total cost is $5.  

Explanation:

Marginal cost of production is the change in cost, arising from the production of an additional unit of output. it is the cost of manufacturing one more unit of product. Mathematically, marginal cost is represented as:

Marginal\ cost = \frac{change\ in\ cost}{change\ in\ quantity\ produced} \\

change in cost (ΔC) = C₂ - C₁ = 5,008 - 5,000 = 8

change in quantity produced = Q₂ - Q₁ = 1,001 - 1,000 = 1

Marginal\ cost = \frac{8}{1} = \$8

∴Marginal Cost = $8

Average Total Cost (ATC) or average cost or unit cost is the total cost divided by the number of units produced. It is represented as

ATC =\frac{TC}{Q} \\where\\ATC = Average\ total\ cost\\\TC = Total\ cost\ = \$5,000\\Q = units\ of\ goods\ produced = 1,000\\

∴ ATC = 5,000 ÷ 1,000 = $5

What amount needs to be invested today at 6% simple interest in order to have $4000 in 2 years?
garri49 [273]
Data:
A (amount) = ?
P (Principal) = $ 4000
r (rate) = 6% → 0.06
t (time) = 2 years

Formula:
A = P(1+r*t)

Solving:
A = P(1+r*t)
A = 4000(1+0.06*2)
A = 4000(1+0.12)
A = 4000*1.12
\boxed{\boxed{A = \$\:4480}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark
