Answer:
The payment made by Cordelia
Explanation:
In the scenario it stated clearly that Rupert filled out what would have been a normal application form for operational license in the country
However Cordelia using connections was able to schedule a meeting with the government official that <u>has the authority to determine which foreign companies get licenses, and pays him $200 to approve their license.</u>
Cordelia payment is nothing short of bribery and corruption because it is not a legally required payment and the motive was clearly to unduly influence the minister to approve their license.
Such payment will likely violate the foreign corrupt practices act

Answer:
The WACC of the firm is 11.91%
Explanation:
The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the rate of return that a business is expected to pay to all of its security holders- bonds, common stock, preferred stock- or is the cost of capital for the business.
To calculate the WACC, we use the following formula,
WACC = D/A * (1-tax rate) * rD + E/A * rE
Where,
- D/A and E/A is the weightage of debt and assets as a proportion of total assets
- rD * (1-tax rate) is the after tax cost of debt
- rE is the cost of equity or required rate of return on equity
We first need to calculate the required rate of return on equity (r). We will use the CAPM formula for r.
r = 0.034 + 1.37 * 0.082
r = 0.14634 or 14.634%
The total assets are equal to,
Assets = Debt + Equity
If for every $1 of equity, there is $0.45 of debt as given by debt-equity ratio.
Then,
Assets = 0.45 + 1
Assets = $1.45
WACC = 0.45/1.45 * (1-0.23) * 0.076 + 1/1.45 * 0.14634
WACC = 0.11908 or 11.908% rounded off to 11.91%
Answer:
14.74 %
Explanation:
Accounting rate of return = Average Profits / Average Investment x 100
therefore,
Accounting rate of return = ($100,000 - $65,000) / $237,500 x 100
= 14.74 %
where,
Average Investment = ( initial investment + scrape value ) ÷ 2
Answer:
$14,407.72
$10,604.64
$15,979.32
Explanation:
The formula to be used is :
FV = PV x е^r x N
FV = Future value
P = Present value
R = interest rate
N = number of years
$1,900 x e^0.08 x 7 = $14,407.72
$1,900 x e^0.11 x 5 = $10,604.64
$1,900 x e^0.05 x 8 = $15,979.32
