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%.

A U.S. automobile company sells many of its cars in countries that have lower taxes on corporate profits than the U.S. Why might
stira [4]

Answer:

It will be more profitable to vertically integrate because the company will be able to further reduce its costs.

Explanation:

Profit = Sales - Cost

The lower the cost, the higher the profit (if sales remains the same).

A Vertical integration strategy requires a company to <u>own or control its suppliers (backward integration) or its distributors or retailers (forward integration)</u>, and therefore, gain more control over its value chain.

<em>If the U.S. automobile company chooses to vertically integrate into the car retailing business in countries where it sells most of its cars, then it would cut out certain costs, such as the cost of contracting with independent car dealers, which would further improve profitability.</em>

Also, such forward integration into retailing means the company will develop processes along its value chain that will increase the efficiency of its operations.

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer: resistance to change

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that InSeason Inc. started a chain of organic supermarkets that had initial success and that the managers achieved a mastery of the firm's current environment, thereby filling a need in the market.

We are further told that InSeason defined and measured it success by financial metrics, with a focus on short-term performance and that as a result, the firm put in place metrics and systems to accommodate and manage increasing firm size due to continued success.

As a result of this tightly coupled system, InSeason developed a resistance to change. Resistance to change could be as a result of fear of failure by the company.
