Why might a construction company build a high-rise building with steel alloy beams instead of pure iron beams?

1 answer:

8 0

Answer: Steel alloy beams are harder and stronger than pure iron beams. A small amount of carbon makes the steel stronger.

Steel is a well known and commonly used alloy (a mixture of several metals) to build a high rise building because it can be around 1000 times stronger than iron in its pure form. It is made from iron and a small amount of carbon (usually between 0.2% and 2.0% by weight) that makes it stronger and lighter.

Pure iron beams, on the other hand, has the bigger quantity of carbon that makes its structure weak and fragile, thus not fit for high rise building.

The ________ allows a company to capture the highest economies of scale.

Klio2033 [76]

It is the Continuous Flow Production Process. It is a stream creation strategy used to fabricate, deliver, or process materials without intrusion. Consistent generation is known as a persistent procedure or a nonstop stream process in light of the fact that the materials, either dry mass or liquids that are being prepared are constantly in movement, experiencing synthetic responses or subject to mechanical or warm treatment. Persistent handling is diverged from group generation.

The standard quantity allowed for the units produced was 4,500 pounds, the standard price was $2.50 per pound, and the materials

katrin2010 [14]

The standard quantity that is produces is multiplied to the standard price. The product is subtracted to the quantity variance and will be divided to the standard price. The product you have acquired will be the units that are produced.

4,500 pounds x $2.50 = 11,250
11,250 - $375 = 10,875
10,875 / $2.50 = 4,350

Answer: There are 4,350 units produced.

You must estimate the intrinsic value of Lowell Technologies’ stock. The end-of-year free cash flow (FCF1) is expected to be $30

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

Firm's estimated intrinsic value per share of common stock = $40.00

Explanation:

Intrinsic value:

Intrinsic value is a way of describing the perceived or true value of an asset.

Formula:

Intrinsic value = free cash flow / required rate - growth rate

As the end-of-year free cash flow (FCF1) = $30 and it is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5.0% a year thereafter.

so FCF2 = 30 (1 + 5%)

FCF2 = 31.5

Value at year 1 = FCF2 / required rate - growth rate

Therefore by putting the values in the above formula, we get

Value at year 1 = 31.5 / 0.08 - 0.05

Value at year 1 = 31.5 / 0.03

Value at year 1 = 1,050

As the company’s WACC is 8.0%, so

Value today = 30 / (1 + 0.08)1 + 1,050 / (1 + 0.08)1

Value today = $1,000 million

As stated in the question it has $200 million of long-term debt, and there are 20.0 million shares of common stock outstanding.

Intrinsic value = (1,000 - 200) / 20

Intrinsic value = $40.00
