Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

so cost of capital = 9.9 %

correct option is a 9.9%

Explanation:

given data

capital structure = 40%

common equity = 60%

tax rate = 34%

pretax cost = 8.5%

pretax cost = 10%

market price = $59

Flotation costs = $3 per share

common stock dividend = $3.15

Dividends expected to grow = 7%

to find out

cost of capital if the firm uses bank loans and retained earnings

solution

cost of retained earning = $\frac{dividend* ( 1+growth rate )}{stock price}$ + growth rate ........................1

cost of retained earning = $\frac{3.15 * ( 1+0.07)}{59}$ + 0.07

cost of retained earning =0.1271271186

and

cost of capital will be

cost of capital = weight for debit × ( cost of debit × ( 1 - tax rate ) ) + weight for common stock × cost of common stock

cost of capital = 0.40 × ( 8.5% × ( 1 - 0.34 ) ) + 0.60 × 0.1271271186

cost of capital = 0.0987

so cost of capital = 9.9 %

correct option is a 9.9%

What is the net present value of the proposed investment? Hawkins requires a 15 percent return on all capital investments

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 4 = $36,000

Cash flow in year 5 = $36,000 + $40,000 = $76,000.

i = 15%

NPV = $1,564.65

To find the NPV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

Price discrimination is the practice of charging different prices for the same product that are not justified by cost difference

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

<h2>Because firms in a perfectly competitive market does not have any price making ability or market power,they are not able to engage in any price discrimination.Hence,the correct answer is the last option or True,because perfectly competitive firms have no market power.</h2>

Explanation:

In Microeconomics,perfectly competitive markets are characterized by many buyers and sellers in which the sellers and firms usually sell homogeneous or identical products.Now,as there are many firms in the market and no barriers to entry for new firms into the market,the market competition or rivalry is high and hence,no single firm has the ability to determine and manipulate the market price according to their own economic advantage because if any firm tries to do so,it will loose significant market share as most customers would move to other sellers/firms charging lower price or regular market price.Therefore,the market price is fixed in the perfectly competitive market as the firms do not have price making or market power.Consequently,they are not able to charge different prices to different customers according to their maximum willingness to pay or differences in price preferences.

Milano Co. manufactures and sells three products: product 1, product 2, and product 3. Their unit selling prices are product 1,

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

1. break even number in units = $270,000 / $12 = 22,500

product 1 units = 22,500 x 6/12 = 11,250 units

total sales = 11,250 x $40 = $450,00 0

product 2 units = 22,500 x 4/12 = 7,500 units

total sales = 7,500 x $30 = $225,000

product 3 units = 22,500 x 2/12 = 3,750 units

total sales = 3,750 x $20 = $75,000

total sales = $750,000

2. break even number in units = $320,000 / $18.67 = 17,139.8 units

product 1 units = 17,139.8 x 6/12 = 8,569.9 ≈ 8,567 units

total sales = 8,567 x $40 = $342,680

product 2 units = 17,139.8 x 4/12 = 5,713.27 ≈ 5,714 units

total sales = 5,714 x $30 = $171,420

product 3 units = 17,139.8 x 2/12 = 2,856.63 ≈ 2,857 units

total sales = 2,857 x $20 = $57,140

total sales = $571,240

c. Management should start using the new material as soon as possible since it doesn't only decrease the break even point, if sales level remain the same, it will increase operating profits.

Explanation:

product 1's contribution margin = $10

product 2's contribution margin = $15

product 3's contribution margin = $12

sales mix = 6:4:2

weighted contribution margin = ($10 x 6/12) + ($15 x 4/12) + ($12 x 2/12) = $5 + $5 + $2 = $12

new contribution margin:

product 1's contribution margin = $20

product 2's contribution margin = $20

product 3's contribution margin = $12

sales mix = 6:4:2

weighted contribution margin = ($20 x 6/12) + ($20 x 4/12) + ($12 x 2/12) = $10 + $6.67 + $2 = $18.67
