Answer:

0.147 or 14.7%

Explanation:

Equity (E) =$7

Debt (D) = $1

Cost of equity capital (Ce) = 0.16

Pretax cost of debt (Cd) = 0.08

Tax rate (r) = 0.3

The weighted average cost of capital of the firm is given by the following relationship:

WACC=\frac{E}{E+D}*C_e +\frac{D}{E+D}*C_d*(1-r)\\WACC = \frac{7}{7+1}*0.16 +\frac{1}{7+1}*0.08*(1-0.3)\\WACC= 0.14+0.007\\WACC =0.147 = 14.7\%

The weighted average cost of capital of the firm is 0.147 or 14.7%.

If you watch TV for two hours, you dont spend any money. Does this mean that you do not have an opportunity cost for watching TV
k0ka [10]

Answer:

No, Watching TV has an opportunity cost

Explanation:

Opportunity costs represent the forfeited benefits for preferring a certain option over others. It is the foregone benefits from the next best alternative.

Watching TV for two hours has an opportunity cost. By watching TV, a person has sacrificed doing other things. The two hours could have been used in other ways like working, studying, swimming, or playing. By watching TV, the person missed benefits from the other activities. The other activity that would have resulted in more benefits other than watching TV is the opportunity cost.

Andrej [43]

Answer:

$165,975

Explanation:

The computation of sales budgeted is shown below:-

For computing the  Sales budgeted for February first we need to compute the January and February units.

January = 10,000 + (3% × 10,000)

= 10,000 + 300

= 10,300

February = 10,000 + (3% × 10,300)

= 10,000 + 309

= 10,309

Sales budgeted for February = For February × Each electric staplers

= 10,309 × $16.10

= $165,975

So, for computing the Sales budgeted for February we simply applied the above formula. The option is not available.

You want to buy a house that costs $140,000. You have $14,000 for a down payment, but your credit is such that mortgage companie
rodikova [14]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

Given the following :

Cost of house = $140,000

Down payment = $14000

Take back mortgage = 126000 = PV

Rate (r) = 5%

Yearly payment one can afford = 22000

a. If the loan was amortized over 3 years, how large would each annual payment be? Could you afford those payments?

Number of period = 3

Using the relation:

PMT = r(PV) / 1 - (1 + r)^-n

PMT = 0.05(126000) / 1 - 1.05^-3

PMT = 6300 / (1-0.8638375)

PMT = 46,268.23

He won't be able to afford it, as the monthly payment is larger than the affordable amount of $22000

b. If the loan was amortized over 30 years, what would each payment be? Could you afford those payments?

PMT = r(PV) / 1 - (1 + r)^-n

PMT = 0.05(126000) / 1 - 1.05^-30

PMT = 6300 / (1-0.2313774)

PMT = 8196.48

He would be able to afford it, as the monthly payment is lower than the affordable amount of $22000

c. To satisfy the seller, the 30-year mortgage loan would be written as a balloon note, which means that at the end of the third year, you would have to make the regular payment plus the remaining balance on the loan. What would the loan balance be at the end of Year 3, and what would the balloon payment be?

Present value of remaining balance after the 3rd year:

Present Value (PV) = PMT[(1 - (1 + r)^-n) / r]

Where

PMT = periodic payment = 8196.48

r = Interest rate = 5% = 0.05

n = number of periods = 30 - 3 = 27

PV = 8196.48[(1 - (1 + 0.05)^-27) / 0.05]

PV = 8196.48[(1 - (1. 05)^-27) / 0.05]

PV = 8196.48[0.7321516 / 0.05]

PV = 120,021.32

Balloon payment :

120,021.32 + 8196.48 = 128,217.80
