Answer:
Option (B) is correct.
Explanation:
Cost of Equity (Ke) = Rf + Beta ( Rp)
where,
Rf = risk free rate
Rp = Market risk premium
Hence,
Beta systematic risk
:
= 7% + 1.7 (6%)
= 7% + 10.2%
= 17.2%
Post Tax cost of debt:
= Kd ( 1 - T)
where,
Kd = cost of debt
T = tax rate
= 20% * (1-0.4)
= 12%
WACC = [ (Ke × We) + (Wd × Kd(1-T)) ]
where,
We = weight of equity
Wd = weight of debt
= [(17.2% × 0.6) + (0.4 × 20% × (1 - 0.4))]
= 10.32% + 4.80%
= 15.12%

Answer:
Inelastic
Explanation:
In the given question,the cost to produce the toothpaste has increased, which led to the increase in the price of the toothpaste significantly. But there is no change in the demand of the toothpaste.
Hence, this product is inelastic.
In the inelastic demand, the demand of the product does not change with any variation in the price of the product.
Answer:
. increase by 25% increase
Explanation:
The degree of operating leverage (DOL) measures the sensitivity of a company's operating income or profits to changes in the demand
DOL = percentage change in operating income or profits / percentage change in units sold
2.5 = percentage change in operating income / 10%
percentage change in operating income = 10% x 2.5 = 25%
profits will increase by 25%
