U.S. President Donald Trump checked one more item on his “To Undo” list of Obama administration actions last Friday when he reset the U.S. policy on Cuba. While the new policy restricts individual tourist travel and business investment in more than half of Cuban industry, it retains many smaller features like permitting family-related travel and professional/academic visits to the country. Among the immediate casualties will be a burgeoning tourism and hospitality industry that sprung up in Cuba after Barack Obama’s friendly overtures began two years ago.

Answer:
y = (x / 100) + 100
Explanation:
First, we need to know the amount of money that it spends on advertising for each extra unit sold. That would be equal to: 2,500 / 25 = 100
This value will be the divisor of the advertising expense (x) to obtain the variable factor of the number of units.
Since 100 units are already sold without investment, this value is taken as fixed and added.
And with the previous data, the formula remains:
y = (x / 100) + 100
Answer:
a) Pre-tax cost of debt is 8.45%
b) After tax cost of debt is 5.07%
Explanation:
a) Given:
Debt issue outstanding = $15.5 million
Semi-annual coupon rate = 0.063 / 2 = 0.0315
Assumed par value (FV) = $1,000
Coupon payment (pmt) = 0.0315 × 1000 = $31.5
Current bond price (PV) = 92% of $1,000 = $920
Time period (nper) = 5 × 2 = 10 periods
Calculate semi-annual rate using spreadsheet function =Rate(nper,pmt,PV,FV)
Semi-annual rate = 4.14%
Pmt and FV are negative as they are cash outflows.
YTM = 4.14 × 2 = 8.28%
Effective annual rate = 
= 
= 0.0845 or 8.45%
b) Tax rate is 40%
After tax cost of debt = Pre tax cost of debt × (1 - 0.4)
= 0.0845 × 0.6
= 0.0507 or 5.07%
Answer: Gross pay is the amount of money your employees receive before any taxes and deductions are taken out. For example, when you tell an employee, “I'll pay you $50,000 a year,” it means you will pay them $50,000 in gross wages.
Answer:
HAZARD INSURANCE is included as part of a fixed expense in the calculation of net operating income(also ppty taxes).
Explanation:
Mortgage payments are not considered as opex because they are not directly associated with the maintenance and operation of the property.
Hazard insurance is coverage that protects a property owner against damage caused by fires, severe storms, earthquakes, or other natural events. As long as the specific weather event is covered within the policy, the property owner will receive compensation to cover the cost of any damage incurred. Typically, the property owner will be required to pay for a year's worth of premiums at the time of closing, but this will depend on the exact details of the policy.
