Answer:

d. 8.2%

Explanation:

The computation of the WACC is shown below:

= Weightage of debt × cost of debt × ( 1- tax rate) + (Weightage of  common stock) × (cost of common stock)

where,  

Weighted of debt = Debt ÷ total firm

= (0.60 ÷ 1.60)

= 0.375

And, the weighted of common stock = (Common stock ÷ total firm)

                                                              = 1 ÷ 1.60

                                                              = 0.625  

The total firm is

= 0.60 + 1

= 1.60

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= (0.375 × 8%) × ( 1 - 35%) + (0.625 × 10%)

= 1.95% + 6.25%

= 8.20%

Kitty [74]

Answer:

The correct option is (d)

Explanation:

Ethics is considered above law as law requires just compliance of laws, rules and regulations. Ethics on the other hand establishes a standard of moral conduct. Being mere legal does not mean that something is ethical. Ethical responsibilities are not codified as it is expected from businesses to follow the same.

Here, Marshall, though complied with legal frameworks, he failed to fulfill his ethical obligations by using low-grade products that could harm the general public in future.

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

$2,740,251.24

Explanation:

Applying power sizing technique or an exponential model to determine the cost of new boiler.

This model identify the cost variation along with change in capacity or power of the equipment.

\frac{C_{A} }{C_{B} } =(\frac{S_{A}}{S_{B}})^{x}

Where,

Cb = Cost of new plant

Sa = capacity of new plant

Sb = capacity of old plant

x = cost capacity factor

Therefore,

\frac{C_{A}}{2,000,000} =(\frac{400,000}{250,000})^{0.67}

C_{A}=2,000,000\times\frac{400,000}{250,000}

               = 2,000,000 × 1.3701

               = $2,740,251.24
