Answer:

A. 12.1%

B. 8.9%

Explanation:

a. Calculation for What is the company's new cost of equity

Using this formula

New cost of equity=Cost of capital+[(Cost of capital- Debt interest rate ) *(Debt-equity ratio)*(1)]

Let plug in the formula

New cost of equity=[0.089+[(0.089-0.057)*(1)*1]

New cost of equity=[0.089+0.032*(1)*1]

New cost of equity=[0.121*(1)*1]

New cost of equity=0.121*100

New cost of equity=12.1%

Therefore the company's new cost of equity will be 12.1%

b. Calculation for What is its new WACC

Particular Weight Cost Weighted cost

Equity 0.5000 *12.1% = 0.0605

Debt 0.5000 * 5.7% =0.0285

WACC =0.089*100

WACC =8.9%

(0.0605+0.0285)

Therefore the new WACC will be 8.9%

Quip Corporation wants to purchase a new machine for $300,000. Management predicts that the machine will produce sales of $200,0

butalik [34]

Answer:

net present value NPV = $79800

so correct option is D) $79,800

Explanation:

solution

we knw that Net Present value = PV of cash inflow - PV of cash outflow ............1

so here PV of cash outflow = $300000

and Net sales = $200000

expenses = $80000

Depreciation = $\frac{300000-50000}{5}$

Depreciation = $50000

so Net income before taxes = Net sales - Depreciation - expenses

Net income before taxes = $200000 - $80000 - $50000

Net income before taxes = $70000

and Tax expenses @ 40% = $28000

Net income = Net income before taxes - Tax expenses

Net income = $70000 - $28000

Net income = $42000

and

Depreciation = $50000

Net cash inflow = Net income + Depreciation

Net cash inflow = $42000 + $50000

Net cash inflow = $92000

and

PVIFA @ 10% 5 years = $3.7908

PV of cash inflow = $348755

PV of salvage value = $50000 ×0.6209

PV of salvage value = $31045

and

so here Total PV of total cash inflow = $379800

and

net present value NPV = Total PV of total cash inflow - PV of cash outflow

net present value NPV = $379800 - $300000

net present value NPV = $79800

so correct option is D) $79,800

Answer:

The correct answer is (C)

Explanation:

Negative externalities occur when an individual or firm making a choice negatively affect other parties. A driver who recklessly drives a car on a busy highway is a negative externality because the amusement of the driver is negatively affecting other people. A negative externality arises when the benefit of a decision is less than the negative outcomes of that decision.
