Answer:

Theft of intellectual property.

Explanation:

Cloud computing is making hardware, software and data available on demand via a network, often the internet. The cloud stands for a network that, with all the computers connected to it, forms a kind of 'cloud of computers', where the end user does not know how many or which computers the software runs on or where those computers exactly stand. In this way, the user no longer needs to be the owner of the hardware and software used and is therefore not responsible for maintenance. The details of the information technology infrastructure are hidden from view and the user has his own virtual infrastructure, scalable in size and possibilities. The cloud is therefore a technique with which scalable online services can be offered. Without the ability to scale, an online service offered does not relate to cloud computing.

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

A Firm

The firm's WACC is:

= 12.16%

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Common Bonds

Stock

Outstanding shares/bonds 2,000,000 2,000

Market price per unit $2 $1,200

Total market value $4,000,000 $2,400,000

Total value of debt and equity = $6,400,000

Weight 62.5% 37.5% ($2,400/$6,400*100)

Cost of bonds (coupon rate) = 10%

Tax rate = 34%

Firm's beta = 1.5

Risk-free rate = 5%

Market risk premium = 7%

After-tax cost of bonds = 6.6% (1 - 0.34) * 10%

Cost of common stock =

Risk Free Rate + Beta x (Market Return - Risk Free Rate)

= 5% + 1.5 x (7%)

= 5% + 10.5%

= 15.5%

WACC = 15.5% * 62.5% + 6.6% * 37.5%

= 0.096875 + 0.02475

= 0.1216

= 12.16%
