The main aim in which any investor puts his capital into a business is to:

  • Make profit.

<h3>What is an Investment?</h3>

This refers to the value which is given to a certain venture or business in order to yield profit after a period of time.

With this in mind, we can see that several parameters are missing from the question, but expected returns are measures of probability that are used to calculate profit and ROI.

Please note that your question is incomplete so I gave you a general overview to help you get a better understanding of the concept.

Laura is a gourmet chef who runs a small catering business in a competitive industry. Laura specializes in making wedding cakes.
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

The correct answer is the letter a. "Make more than 20 wedding cakes a month."

Explanation:

To maximize profit the marginal price of each cake must equal the marginal cost of each cake. The marginal cost is 300 and the marginal price is 5000/20 = 250. The marginal price of each cake (250) is less than the marginal cost of each cake (300), so Laura needs to make more than 20 cakes to increase her revenue and maximize her profit.

Starset, Inc., has a target debt-equity ratio of 1.15. Its WACC is 8.6 percent, and the tax rate is 21 percent.
aev [14]

Answer:

a. 4.94%

b. 11.48%

Explanation:

Here in this question, we are interested in calculating the pretax cost of debt and cost of equity.

We proceed as follows;

a. From the question;

The debt equity ratio = 1.15

since Equity = 1 ; Then

Total debt + Total equity = 1 + 1.15 = 2.15

Mathematically ;

WACC = Cost of equity x Weight of equity + Pretax Cost of debt x Weight of debt x (1-Tax rate)

Where WACC = 8.6%

Cost of equity = 14%

Weight of equity = 1/(total debt + total equity) = 1/(1+1.15) = 1/2.15

Pretax cost of debt = ?

Weight of debt = debt equity ratio/total cost of debt = 1.15/2.15

Tax rate = 21% = 0.21

Substituting these values, we have;

8.6% = 14% x 1/2.15 + Pretax cost of debt x 1.15/2.15 x (1-21%)

8.6% = 14% x 1/2.15 + Pretax cost of debt x 1.15/2.15 x (1-21%)

Pretax cost debt = (8.6%-6.511628%)/(1.15/2.15 x (1-21%))

Pretax cost of debt = 4.94%

b. WACC = Cost of equity x Weight of equity + After tax Cost of debt x Weight of debt

8.6% = Cost of equity x 1/2.15 + 6.1% x 1.15/2.15

Cost of equity = (8.6%-3.26279%)/(1/2.15)

Cost of equity = 11.48%
