Assume you had invested $1,000 in a lawn mower to set up a lawn mowing business for the summer. During the first week, you could

choose either to mow the grounds at a housing development for $1,400 or to help paint a garage for $1,360. Each job would take one week. You cannot do both. You would incur additional costs of $160 for lawn mowing and $80 for garage painting. These costs include $60 under each alternative for transportation to the job. Prepare a schedule showing the net benefit or advantage of selecting one alternative over the other. (This is all information provided)

Answer:

Schedule showing the net benefit or advantage of Painting over Lawn Mowing:

                Lawn Mowing    Painting    Differential

Revenues         $1,400         $1,360         $40

Cost                     $160             $80         $80

Net benefit      $1,240         $1,280        ($40)

in favor of lawn mowing

This implies that Painting garage is more beneficial than lawn mowing.

Explanation:

a) Investment in a lawn mower = $1,000

Revenue from mowing grounds at a housing development = $1,400

Revenue from painting a garage = $1,360

Additional costs for lawn mowing = $160

Additional costs for garage painting = $80

Included transportation cost to the jobs = $60 each

b) It costs more (opportunity cost) to mow grounds than to paint a garage.  The decision-maker should choose to paint a garage and earn incremental profit of $40 instead of mowing grounds and losing $40.

What are the two risk components that determine a firm's cost of equity?
Yanka [14]

Traditionally, the formulas used to express a firm's cost of equity are the dividend capitalization model and the capital asset pricing model (CAPM).

Explanation:

Generally, two risk components determine a firm's cost of equity. The first is the systematic risk associated with the broader equity market. All firms are exposed to this risk, and it cannot be mitigated through diversification.

The second risk component is the unsystematic risk associated with the firm in question. This risk, often reflected as beta, a measure of the stock's volatility in relation to the volatility of the broader market, can be mitigated via diversification.

Daniel [21]
<h3>In the given scenario unemployment rate is 10% </h3>

Explanation:

In the given problem,

Number of People who are working is 90,000

Number of People who are not working but looking and available is 10,000

Unemployment rate = Percentage of the total labor force that is unemployed but actively looking for employment and ready to  work.  

Unemployment rate = ((Unemployed people * 100) / (Total people in an economy (Working + Available for work)))

Unemployment rate = ((10000 * 100) / (90000+10000))

Unemployment rate = (1000000 / 100000)

Hence, Unemployment rate = 10%

If a company has a capital structure of $5,000,000 common stock with a cost of 17%, $2,000,000 bonds at 4%, $1,000,000 of short
rjkz [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Weighted Average Cost of Capital; formula is as follows;

WACC = wE*re + wP*wp + wD*rd(1-tax)

where w= weight of...

r = cost of ...

E= common equity

P = preferred stock

D = Debt

Find the weights of each source of capital;

WACC = (0.50*0.17) +(0.20*0.03) + [0.20*0.04(1-0.40)] +[0.10*0.07(1-0.40)]

WACC = 0.085 +0.006 + 0.0048 + 0.0042

WACC = 0.1 or 10%
