DanielleElmas [232]

Answer: d. shift the supply of loanable funds to the right causing the interest rate to fall.

Explanation:

Loanable funds come from the deposits(savings) that people make in financial institutions like banks. If more people were to make deposits, the amount of savings in the system would therefore increase.

To illustrate this increase the supply for loanable funds curve will shift to the right which will cause the interest rates to fall as there is now more supply relative to demand.

The total amount of depreciation recorded against an asset over the entire time the asset has been owned: Multiple Choice Is sho

Anettt [7]

Answer:

Is referred to as accumulated depreciation.

Explanation:

Depreciation can be defined as the reduction of cost of a fixed asset systematically until the value of the asset becomes zero.

The Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) can be defined as a depreciation system that avails business owners or companies the ability and opportunity to recover or recoup the cost basis of physical assets that have experienced deterioration over a specific period of time.

In the United States of America, the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) is used mainly for tax purposes because it gives room for faster depreciation of a physical asset in its first years or initial usage and reduces depreciation as it is being used over a long period of time.

Hence, the total amount of depreciation recorded against an asset over the entire time the asset has been owned is referred to as accumulated depreciation.

What is an example of a situation in which the cost of capacity is substantially more than the cost of waiting? What would the w

labwork [276]

Answer:

Cost of Capacity, Cost of Waiting and Waiting Lines which are concepts indicated in the question speaks to Queuing Theory under Operations Management.

The goal of studying this theory simply relates to Optimizing Efficiency.

Let's define the concepts highlighted in the question.

Capacity cost is defined as the total amount of expenses incurred by an organization to provide for or increase its ability to conduct business operations. It can also be referred to as the cost of service.

Cost of Waiting on the hand within the context indicated above is how much it costs a business to keep customers waiting.

The more customers leave without making a purchase or do not return because of frustrating wait times, the higher the waiting cost.

Waiting Line - This is simply a line of people waiting to be attended to, or access a product or service. It could also refer to Assembly Line. Or simply, a queue.

Explanation:

Cost of Waiting plus Cost of Service equals Total Cost.

An optimized situation is where the total cost is at it's lowest. Reducing capacity may reduce costs of service, but cause an upward spike loss of sales due to lost customers.

Excessive capacity, on the other hand, will reduce the loss of sales due to the loss of customers but lead to an increase in operating costs.

To answer the questions, an example of a situation in which the cost of capacity is substantially more than the cost of waiting is given below:

a) If One ATM can serve 3 customer in 2 Minutes, and ATM users arrive the ATM Gallery at the rate of 3 customers every 4 minutes, then haveing 5 ATM Machines installed at such a location would translate to higher cost of capacity in relation to cost of waiting (Assuming that the cost of purchasing the machines and profit accruable from the ATM use charges are not factors under consideration)

b) the waiting line in such a condition would be substantially smaller than an optimised gallery or close to zero

Kay's Sewing Loft is going to reduce its annual dividend by 10 percent a year for the next two years. After that, it will mainta

beks73 [17]

Answer:

The answer of the following question is $ 25.711

Explanation:

Dividend (D0)= $ 3 per share

D1 = $ 3 * (1 - 0.10) = 2.7 per share

D2 = $ 2.7 * (1 - 0.10) = 2.43 per share

P0 = $ 2 / 0.137 = $ 14.598

Market value of this stock = D1 * PVF 1 + D2 * PVF2 + P0 * PVF2

= 2.7 * 1/(1+0.137) + 2.43 * 1/(1+ 0.137)^2 + 14.598 * 1/(1+ 0.137)^2

= 3.699 + 3.141 + 18.871

= $ 25.711

If Wild Widgets, Inc., were an all-equity company, it would have a beta of 1.05. The company has a target debt-equity ratio of .

Serga [27]

Answer:

WACC is 10.18%

Explanation:

In order to compute the WACC for Wild Widgets,Inc,we need first of all ascertain the cost of debt kd and the cost of equity ke.

The cost of debt is the same the yield to maturity where yield to maturity can be computed using rate formula in excel:

=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)

nper is the number of years before maturity which is 30

pmt is the coupon payable on the bond,6.1%*$1000=$61

pv is the current price of the bond at $1,055

fv is the face value of the bond at $1,000

=rate(30,61,-1055,1000)

rate=5.71%

pretax cost of debt is 5.71%

In order to calculate levered cost of equity,we need to re-lever the beta value of 1.05 using the below formula:

Levered β = Unlevered β ×(1 + [(D/E) × (1−t) )

Unlevered β=1.05

D/E=0.55

tax=tax =24%=0.24

Levered β=1.05*(1+(0.55)*(1-0.24)

=1.05*(1+(0.55)*(0.76)

=1.49

Levered cost of equity is then computed using the levered beta of 1.49

Ke=risk free rate+Levered beta*(market return-risk-free rate)

risk free rate is 3.2%

market return is 10%

ke=3.2%+1.49(10%-3.2%)

ke=13.33%

WACC=Ke*(E/V)+Kd*(D/V)*(1-t)

Ke is 13.33%

kd is 5.71%

D/E=0.55=0.55/1 which means that debt has 0.55 equity has 1

D/V=D/E+V=0.55/1+0.55=0.35

E/V=E/E+V=1/(1+0.55)=0.65

WACC=13.33%*0.65+5.71%*(0.35)*(1-0.24)

=13.33%*0.65+5.71%*(0.35)*(0.76)

=0.086645 +0.0151886

=10.18%
