Answer:

The correct answer to the following question is option E) 9.06% .

Explanation:

Here the cost of equity given is  - 11.8%

Pre tax cost of debt- 6.9%

Tax rate- 35%

So the after tax cost of debt - 6.9% x 65%

= 4.485%

The debt to equity ratio - .6

So the weight of debt - .6 / ( 1 + .06 )

= .375

Weight of equity - 1 / ( 1 + .06 )

= .625

Weighted average cost of capital =

Debts cost x weight of debt + Equity cost x weight of equity

= 4.485 x .375 + 11.8 x .625

= 1.681875 + 7.735

= 9.06%

Answer:

Change in accounting estimate

Depreciation for 2018: $80,000

Explanation:

A change in accounting estimate occurs when there is new information that surfaces, affecting the initial situation. It can affect the carrying amount of an asset or liability as well as alter the accounting for existing and future assets or liabilities.

The machine has a cost of $800,000. It is depreciated using the straight-line method of depreciation. Hence, the depreciation expense is the same annually throughout the life of the asset.

Annual depreciation = (Cost of asset - salvage value) / number of useful years

Old annual depreciation = ($800,000-0) / 5 = $160,000 per year.

By January 2018, the asset has depreciated for two years. Hence the book value of the asset as at 2018 is the difference between the cost of the asset and the total depreciation expense i.e. $800,000 - (160,000 x 2)

= $480,000.

According to the new depreciation estimate, the asset has a useful life of 8 years. Hence the remaining years is 6 years ( 8 - 2).

The annual depreciation currently is = ($480,000 - 0) / 6 = $80,000

Depreciation expense for 2018 = $80,000

A fall in the price of a product might cause a household to shift its purchasing pattern away from substitutes toward that produ
ad-work [718]

Answer:

The correct answer is: substitution effect.

Explanation:

The price of a product is inversely related to the quantity demanded. This implies that an increase in the price will cause the quantity demanded to decrease and vice versa.  

The consumers always prefer a cheaper substitute. So in case of a price rise of a product, the consumers will move to a  substitute at lower price.  

If there is a fall in the price of the product, the consumers will move away from the substitute to the product.  

This is known as the substitution effect.
