Answer:
Lease Equipment $150,000
BUY EQUIPMENT$134,700
Differential Effects-$15,300
The company should choose BUY EQUIPMENT which is Alternative 2
Explanation:
Preparation of the differential analysis dated March 15 to determine whether Laredo Corporation should lease (Alternative 1) or purchase (Alternative 2) the equipment
Differential Analysis
Lease (Alt. 1) or Buy (Alt. 2) Equipment
March 15
Lease Equipment (Alternative 1); Buy Equipment
(Alternative 2); Differential Effects (Alternative 2)
Costs:
Purchase price $0 $120,000 $120,000
Freight and installation $0 $1,500 $1,500
Repair and maintenance (6 years) $0 $13,200.$13,200
($2,200*6=$13,200)
Lease (6 years) $150,000 $0 -$150,000
($25,000*6)
Total costs $150,000 $134,700 -$15,300
Based on the above calculation the company should choose BUY EQUIPMENT which is Alternative 2
Answer:
The marginal propensity to save is 0.4
Explanation:
The marginal propensity to save is 1 - marginal propensity to consume.
The marginal propensity to consume is the proportion of an increase in income that the consumers will spend from this increased income and the marginal propensity to save is the proportion of the increase in income that will be saved.
The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) = Change in consumption / change in income
The MPC = (2100 - 1500) / (3000 - 2000) = 0.6
Thus, the marginal propensity to save is 1 - 0.6 = 0.4
Keynes would most likely oppose a plan for government control of all the manufacturing companies.
Answer:
The cost of preferred stock is 10.2%
Explanation:
The actual amount realized from issuing the preferred of $100 per share par value is the par value less cost of issuing and selling stock of $2 per share, in other words,$98($100-$2) was realized per share from the issuance.
Having known the net amount realized, the cost of preferred stock can be calculated as follows:
cost of preferred stock =return on preferred stock/net amount realized
return is 10% of $100(par value), i.e $10 per share
cost of preferred stock =$10/$98=10.2%
Note that preferred is not tax deductible like debt financing , hence the rate of tax given is not considered in determining the cost of preferred stock.
