The cost of capital of a company that uses 45 percent debt that has an after-tax cost of debt of 10 percent and 55 percent equit

zimovet [89]

Answer:

12.75 %

Explanation:

Cost of Capital is calculated on a Weighted Average basis. This is because there is a Pooling of Funds when it comes to financing projects. So Cost of Capital is the Return that is Required by providers of Long Term source of finance.

Cost of Capital = E/V × Ke + D/V × Kd

Where,

E/V = Market Weight of Equity

= 0.55

Ke = Cost of Equity

= 15%

D/E = Market Weight of Debt

= 0.45

Kd = Cost of Debt

= 10%

Therefore,

Cost of Capital = 0.55 × 15% + 0.45 × 10%

= 12.75 %

Ocean Gate sells external hard drives for $200 each. Its total fixed costs are $30 million, and its variable costs per unit are

NemiM [27]

Answer:

What is the firm's degree of operating leverage?

the degree of operating leverage measures the proportion of fixed costs vs. variable costs

total fixed costs = $30,000,000

contribution margin per hard drive = selling price - variable cost = $200 - $140 = $60

tax rate = 30%

expected sales = 2,000,000 hard drives

degree of operating leverage = contribution margin / (total sales - total costs) = (2,000,000 x $60) / ($400,000,000 - $280,000,000 - $30,000,000) = $120,000,000 / $90,000,000 = 1.33

DOL = 1.33

If the economy enters a recession, what will be the firm's after tax profit?

firm's EBIT = total revenue - variable costs - fixed costs

total revenue = 1,000,000 x $200 = $200,000,000
total variable costs = 1,000,000 x $140 = $140,000,000
total fixed costs = $30,000,000

EBIT = $200,000,000 - $140,000,000 - $30,000,000 = $30,000,000

firm's after tax profit = EBIT x (1 - tax rate) = $30,000,000 x (1 - 30%) = $21,000,000

firm's after tax profit = $21,000,000

Comparative advantage could be described as an economy's capability to produce a particular product at than the price competitor would offer. A comparative advantage could also be described as handling two jobs but being better in one than the other. One of the jobs could be primary duty while the other is secondary, one fetches income than the other which may or may not fetch an income or having a job that supplements the work you do for the other one

From the paragraph, both America and Chile farm fruit in their various reasons but United State does it better than Chile based on her massive manufacturing industry. The United states comparative advantage is her large manufacturing industry which helps her to be better than Chile in the fruit production.

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

The smallest Q that will suffice is 409.86

Explanation:

Since Future value of payments = 14000

300*[(1 + 3%/12)^12 - 1]/3%/12*(1 + 3%/12)^24 + Q*[(1 + 3%/12)^24 - 1]/3%/12 = 14000

Q*[(1 + 3%/12)^24 - 1]/3%/12 = 14000 - 300*[(1 + 3%/12)^12 - 1]/3%/12*(1 + 3%/12)^24

Q = 409.86

Therefore, The smallest Q that will suffice is 409.86

You just took out a $12,000 loan for your small business. the loan has a four year term and repayment is in the form of four eq

umka2103 [35]

Answer: $403.20

Explanation:

We use a mortgage calculator to calculate the interest paid in the final payment. Since each repayment is made at the end of year, the repayments are annual payments. So, the calculator should have an annual amortization schedule to solve the problem.

I used http://www.calculator.net/loan-calculator for the calculation because it has an annual payment schedule. Then, I went under the subtitle Paying Back a Fixed Amount Periodically because the payments are equal. In that online calculator, I just input these data:

- Loan Amount: $12,000
- Loan Term: 4 (Loan term is number of years to pay the loan)
- Interest Rate: 11.5%
- Compound: Annually (APY)
- Pay Back: Every year

Then, I clicked the calculate button and view amortization table. The annual amortization schedule is attached in this answer.

To determine the interest paid at the final payment, I looked at payment #4 because the final payment is at the 4th year. (The loan is paid in 4 annual payments).

As seen in the attached image, the interest paid in payment #4 is $403.20. Hence, the interest paid in the final payment is $403.20.
