WACC %

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Cost of equity is 11.2%

WACC is 8.74%

Explanation:

The formula for cost of equity is given below:

Cost of equity=risk free rate+(Beta *risk premium)

risk free rate is the treasury bill rate of 4%

Beta is 0.9

market risk premium is 8%

cost of equity=4%+(0.9*8%)=11.2%

WACC=Ke*E/V+Kd*D/V*(1-t)

Ke is the cost of equity of 11.2%

Kd is the cost of debt of 5%

t is the tax rate of 40% or 0.4

E is the equity weighting of 70% or 0.7

D is the debt weighting of 30% or 0.3

V is the E+D=0.7+0.3=1

WACC=11.20% *0.7/1+(5%*0.3/1*(1-0.4)

WACC=7.84% +0.90% =8.74%

Answers

Answer:

decreases by $0.95.

Explanation:

Here is the full question :

For each of three potential buyers of oranges, the table displays the willingness to pay for the first three oranges of the day. Assume Allison, Bob, and Charisse are the only three buyers of oranges, and only three oranges can be supplied per day.

First OrangeSecond OrangeThird OrangeAllison$2.00$1.50$0.75Bob$1.50$1.00$0.60Charisse$0.75$0.25$0

Refer to Table above. If the market price of an orange increases from $0.80 to $1.05, then consumer surplus

Group of answer choices increases by $0.75 decreases by $0.95. decreases by $0.75 decreases by $1.00

Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.

Change in consumer surplus = $1.85 - $2.8 = $-0.95

Please check the attached images for an explanation on how the answer was derived.

I hope my answer helps you

Answer: decreases by $0.95.

Explanation:

Allison     $2 $1.5 $0.75

Bob         $1.5 $1 $0.6

Charisse $0.75 $0.25 $0

so consumer surplus = willingness to pay - market price

market price before = $0.80

consumer surplus before = Allison + Bob + Charisse

consumer surplus before = (1.2 + 0.7 + 0) + ( 0.7 + 0.2 + 0) + ( 0 + 0 + 0)

consumer surplus before = 2.8

market price after = $1.05

consumer surplus after = Allison + Bob + Charisse

consumer surplus after = (0.95 + 0.45 + 0) + ( 0.45 + 0 + 0) + ( 0 + 0 + 0)

consumer surplus after = 1.85

NOW

consumer surplus before - consumer surplus after

2.8 - 1.85 = 0.95

therefore consumer surplus decreases by $0.95

Perimeter, Inc. acquired 30 percent of South Co.’s (South) voting stock for $200,000 on January 1, 20X1. Perimeter’s 30 percent interest in South gave Perimeter the ability to exercise significant influence over South’s operating and financial policies. On that date, South reported assets of $500,000 and liabilities of $100,000. South had equipment with a book value of $60,000 that was actually worth $160,000. The equipment had a remaining useful life of five years. During 20X1, South reported net income of $80,000 and paid dividends of $50,000. What amount of income should Perimeter recognize in 20X1 as a result of this investment?

Answers

Answer:

$18,000

Explanation:

Required:

Find the amount of income Perimeter recognizes in 20X1 as a result of the investment.

Amount of income to be recognized should be calculated as:

Share of net income - Amortization of equipment in excess of book value

Where,

Share of net income = 30% of net income

= 30% × $80,000

= $24,000

Less: Amortization of equipment in excess of book value =

[tex] \frac{160,000 - 60,000}{5 yrs} * 0.30 [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{100,000}{5} * 0.30 [/tex]

[tex] = 6,000 [/tex]

Therefore, amount of income to be recognized =

$24,000 - $6,000

= $18,000

Amount of income Perimeter recognizes in 20X1 as a result of this investment is $18,000

John was driving his car in a careless way, failing to drive as a reasonably prudent person would under the driving conditions. Ramona was crossing the street in a careless way, failing to cross as a reasonably prudent person would. John struck and injured Ramona with the car John was driving. At trial, it was determined that John was 80 percent at fault and that Ramona was 20 percent at fault. The injuries sustained amounted to $100,000. Explain how much, if any, recovery Ramona would receive in a state that applies the contributory negligence rule. Do the same thing for a state that applies the comparative negligence rule

Answers

Answer:

1. If this law of contributory negligence applies to the state, then Ramona will receive no compensation for the damages she sustained.

2. If this law of comparative negligence applies to this state, then Ramona will get 100% - 20% = 80% of the damages incurred in the accident, from John which will be $80,000

Explanation:

In contributory negligence, the defense completely bars plaintiffs from any recovery if they contribute to their own injury through their own negligence.

If this law of contributory negligence applies to the state, then Ramona will receive no compensation for the damages she sustained.

In comparative negligence, the plaintiff's damages is award by the percentage of fault that the fact-finder assigns to the plaintiff for his or her own injury i.e the plaintiff's damage compensation is reduced by percentage of his/her percentage of fault.

If this law of comparative negligence applies to this state, then Ramona will get 100% - 20% = 80% of the damages incurred in the accident, from John

this is 80% of $100,00 which is equal to $80,000

Sean is a baseball player who earns $890,000 per year playing for team X. If he weren't playing baseball for team X, he would be playing baseball for team Y and earning $660,000 per year. If he weren't playing baseball at all, he would be working as an accountant earning $90,000 per year. What is his economic rent as a baseball player?

Answers

Answer: The answer is given below

Explanation:

Economic rent is a payment to a factor of production that is in excess of the costs which are needed to bring the factor into production. It is the payment in excess of the opportunity cost.

Economic rent = Present opportunity - opportunity cost.

Sean is a baseball player who earns $890,000 per year playing for team X. If he weren't playing baseball for team X, he would be playing baseball for team Y and earning $660,000 per year. His economic rent in this case will be:

Economic rent = Present opportunity - opportunity cost.

= $890,000 - $660,000

= $230,000

If he weren't playing baseball at all, he would be working as an accountant earning $90,000 per year. His economic rent in this case will be:
