Answer:

Pretax    =  5.61%

After tax = 4.26%

Explanation:

The cost of debt will be the Yield to maturity of the bonds.

91 = present values of the 25 year annuity + present value of the maturity

There is no formula for exact YTM

we can either use excel or calculate by approximation:

In this case we will calcualte the YTM by aprroximation

YTM = 2\times (\frac{C + \frac{F-P}{n }}{\frac{F+P}{2}})

C= 25 cuopon payment 1,000 x 5% / 2 becayse paymenr are semiannually

F= 1000 the face value is 1,000

P= 910  the present value or market value is 91% of the face value

n= 50   25 year at 2 payment per year

YTM = 2 \times (\frac{25 + \frac{1000-910}{50 }}{\frac{1000+910}{2}})

dividend 26.8

divisor 955

YTM 5.6125654%

This will be the pretax cost of debt

then we calculate the after tax cost of debt

pre-tax cost of debt ( 1 - t ) = after-tax

5.61% ( 1 - .24 ) = 4,2636

A process has low fixed costs and high variable costs. It is currently capacity-constrained. Will the impact of an efficiency im
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Small

Explanation:

Fixed costs are the costs that do not change when output level changes, while variable costs are costs that change as output quantity changes.

When a production process is capacity constrained, it implies that there is a factor that does not allow it to produce more output. Examples of such factors are minor bottlenecks, constrained designs and resources, and others.

A process is said to be efficient when it can avoid waste of resources in producing desired output.

Efficiency improvement therefore occurs when more output can be produced with less resources.

In the question, given that the process is currently capacity-constrained, efficiency improvement will result in producing more output at higher costs because of high variable costs despite that the process has low fixed costs.

As a result, the impact of an efficiency improvement will be small because producing more output will result in incurring higher cost due to high variable costs that change as quantity of output changes. That is, the impact of efficiency improvement will be small because high variable costs with low fixed cost will result in higher production cost.
