Answer:
a) 9.00 %
b) 7.80 %
c) yes the weight of the debt increases here is more risk in the investment as the debt payment are mandatory and failing to do so result in bankruptcy while the stock can wait to receive dividends if the income statement are good enough
d) 9.00 %
e) The increase in debt may lñead to an increase in return of the stockholders if they consider the stock riskier than before and will raise their return until the WACC equalize at the initial point beforethe trade-off occurs
Explanation:
a)
Ke 0.12
Equity weight 0.5
Kd(1-t) = after tax cost of debt = 0.06
Debt Weight = 0.5
WACC 9.00000%
c)
Ke 0.12
Equity weight 0.3
Kd(1-t) = after tax cost of debt = 0.06
Debt Weight 0.7
WACC 7.80000%
d)
<em>Ke 0.16</em>
Equity weight 0.3
Kd(1-t) = after tax cost of debt = 0.06
Debt Weight 0.7
WACC 9.00000%

Answer:
55,060 machines
Explanation:
Projected sales = 54,500
Estimated opening balance = 6,860
Desired ending balance = 7,420
Budgeted production = ?
Let the budgeted production be B
Using the formula
Opening balance + Budgeted production - Sales = Closing balance
6,860 + B - 54,500 = 7,420
B = 7,420 + 54,500 - 6,860
B = 55,060
The budgeted production for the year is 55,060 machines.
Explanation:
The computation of the activity rate for each activity is shown below:
As we know that
Activity Rate = Expected rate ÷ Activity Driver
For Handling material = $650,000 ÷ 100,000 = $6.50 per part
For Inspecting product = $925,000 ÷ 1,500 parts = $616.67 per batch
For Processing purchase orders = $130,000 ÷ 700 = $185.72 per orders
Paying supplies = $200,000 ÷ 500 = 400 per invoices
Insuring the factory = $325,000 ÷ $40,000 = $8.125 per square foot
Designing packaging = $100,000 ÷ 2 models = 50,000 per models
Answer:
20 years (scenario A) and 16 years (scenario B)
Explanation:
The real GDP will double in "n" number of years, with "n" estimated by interpolation using the formula below.
In the solutions below, we assumed current GDP to be 1, and as a result, the GDP will double to 2.
Scenario A
When you substitute 20 for "n" in the left hand side (LHS) of the equation, you will arrive at 1.99 which is approximately equal to 2. Any number below 20 will result in a number less than 2.
Thus, with an average annual real GDP growth rate of 3.5%, real GDP will double in about 20 years.
Scenario B
When you substitute 16 for "n" in the left hand side (LHS) of the equation, you will arrive at 2.02 which is approximately equal to 2. Any number below 16 will result in a number less than 2.
Thus, with an average annual real GDP growth rate of 4.5%, real GDP will double in about 16 years.
