Answer:

9.90%

Explanation:

Debt-equity=debt/equity=0.40( debt=0.40 while equity is  1 since 0.40/1=0.40)

weight of debt=0.40/(0.40+1)=28.57%

weight of equity=1/(0.40+1)=71.43%

cost of equity=11.80%

cost of debt=6.50%

tax rate=21%

WACC=(weight of equity*cost of equity)+(weight of debt*cost of debt)*(1-tax rate)

WACC=(71.43% *11.80%)+(28.57%*6.50%)*(1-21%)

WACC=9.90%

The market for chewing gum is in equilibrium with a current price of 50 cents per pack and a quantity of 100,000 packs per day.
frez [133]

Answer:

A) an increase in the price of other kinds of candy

Explanation:

If the price of substitute products (other types of candy) increases, then the suppliers of chewing gum can increase their price without the quantity demanded decreasing. If the decrease in the price of chewing gum is smaller than the increase in the price of substitute products, the quantity demanded will increase.

If there was a price increase of the main ingredients used to produce chewing gum, then the supply curve would shift to the left (option B is wrong).

If the workers signed an agreement that lowered their wages, then the supply curve would shift to the right (option C is wrong).

A decrease in the number of young people in the market would decrease the quantity demanded for chewing gum, which in turn would decrease the equilibrium price (option D is wrong).

A decrease in income would also decrease the quantity demanded, which would in turn decrease the equilibrium price (option E is wrong).

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

1. Franklin Inc. is not under any legal obligation to pay divided to common stock holders. A company can only pay dividend when it makes profit. A company may not pay dividend even when it makes profit because payment of dividend at the discretion of board of directors. Dividends on common stocks are not fixed.

Payment of dividend to preferred stock holders is fixed because preferred stocks are fixed income securities. Dividend in this case does not depend on the financial fortune of a company. In case of cummulative preferred stocks, arrears of dividend in a given year can be carried forward to another year.

Franklin Inc is under a legal obligation to pay interest to debenture holders because the company is under bond to pay principal and interest as and when due. Bonds are also fixed income securities in which interest is fixed regardless of whether the company makes profit or not.

2. Rob Lowe is advised to invest in bonds because he is guaranteed of his principal and interest as and when due since the interest on bond and principal do not depend on the financial fortune of the company.

Explanation:

In the first case, explanations were made on the obligation of the company to pay dividend or interest.

In the second case, explanations were provided on the appropriate investment to undertake.
