charle [14.2K]

Answer: The answer is given below

Explanation:

Here , we are going to apply the present value of annuty formula.

a. Social Opportunity cost = $1.1 Million

The Yearly cash flows = $110,000

Time (n) = 20 years

The Discount rate (R) = 4%

Net benefits= Present value of cash inflows - the intial socail opportnity cost

Net benefits= Yearly cash flow × (1 - 1/(1+R)^n) / R - 1100000

Net benefits = 110000 × (1 - 1/1.04^20)/0.04 - (1100000)

= $394936

b. We will use the formula for present value of an annuity with the growth rate in benefits as 2 percent.

Firstly, dg= (0.04 - 0.02)/ (1+0.02)

= 0.01961

PV(benefits) = [($110,000)÷ (1+0.02)][1-(1+dg)-20]/dg]

= $1,770,045

NPV = $1,770,045 - $1,100,000= $670,045

Westford Corporation has $185 million dollars of interest-bearing debt outstanding at the end of fiscal 2014 year. In addition,

Ratling [72]

Answer:

B) 9.1%

Explanation:

Cost of debt is the interest rate paid by a company due to borrowing money; i.e debt from investors.

$185million in debt is the face value of debt that Westford Corporation had and the $26 million dollars of interest expense is the cost of the debt in dollars;

First, find pretax cost of debt ;

Pretax cost of debt = (Interest expense / Face value of debt )*100

= (26,000,000/ 185,000,000 )*100

=0.1405 *100

= 14.05%

Next, use pretax cost of debt to find after-tax cost of debt;

After-tax cost of debt = Pretax cost of debt (1-tax)

= 14.05% *(1-0.35)

= 9.13%

Therefore, Westford's cost of debt capital is 9.1%

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

In simple words, A determined currency rate, also called a fixed currency value, refers to the form of exchange rate regimes during which a currency agency sets or pegs the value of the currency against both the value of yet another currencies, a combination of other currencies, or another value factor, like gold.

Thus, in order to keep the currency at a fixed level the monetary authority must increase their liability also but on a domestic level only as two accounts are considered to be separate in such systems.

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

C. Personal Reference introduction

Explanation:

This introduction type talks about a subject (State University) by relating the speaker or his experience to the subject.

(A) Quotation is something that is being said by someone. So whether or not this speaker related himself to the university, what he said would still have been taken as a quote or would be put in quotation marks when written down.

(B) A Rhetorical Question is one which is asked without the intent of getting an answer. First of all, there is no question in this speaker's speech.

(D) "Story" would have been the answer if there was no option (C) but the fact that option C exists and more perfectly describes his speech, makes (D) refutable.
