Answer: 11.65%

Explanation:

First find cost of equity using CAPM:

= Risk free rate + Beta * Market risk premium

= 3.4% + 1.37 * 8.2%

= 14.6%

Debt to equity = 0.45

This means that weight of debt is:

= 0.45 / (1 + 0.45)

= 31.03%

Weight of equity:

= 1 - 31.03%

= 68.97%

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

= (68.97% * 14.6%) + (31.03% * 7.6% * (1 - 34%))

= 11.63%

= 11.65% as per options

merchandise is sold for cash. the selling price of the merchandise is $2,600, and the sale is subject to a 6% state sales tax. t
love history [14]

The journal entry for the sale would include a credit to sales tax payable for $156 if the selling price of the merchandise is $2600.

The government levies a consumption tax known as a sales tax on the purchase of goods and services. At the point of sale, a standard sales tax is imposed, collected by the retailer, and paid to the government. Companies must first apply for a sales tax permit from their state's department of taxation in order to be able to collect sales tax from customers. Every time a customer makes a purchase, businesses collect sales tax, which they subsequently monthly or quarterly send to the state.

As the selling price of the merchandise is $2,600 and the state sales tax is 6%, this means that 6% of $2,600 has to be paid to the state governing body.

Sales tax = 6% of 2600

Sales tax = 6/100 × 2600

Sales tax = 0.06 × 2600

Sales tax = $156

Therefore; the entry to journalize the sale would include a credit to sales tax payable for $156 if the selling price of the merchandise is $2600.

A monopolist produces a. more than the socially efficient quantity of output but at a higher price than in a competitive market.
irina [24]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

First, a monopoly produce less than the socially efficient quantity because as the figure shows, the quantity produced is determined by the intersection between the marginal cost curve (MC) and the marginal revenue curve (MR) and not by the intersection between the MC and the demand. For instance, there is a deadweight loss (shown by the figure).

Second, equilibrium price is always higher than in a competitive market because is always higher than the MC. The price is determined by the equilibrium quantity (found before) and the demand. Also, there are barries to entry and so monopolist have always price control.
