Answer:

A) True

Explanation:

Willingness to pay (WTP) is the maximum amount a customer is willing to pay for a product or service. This makes willingness to pay a crucial factor when finding the best price to sell a product at, for both the seller and buyer

If an activity increases costs beyond the amount which customers are able or willing to pay for such product or services, then such activity needs to be reduced or cut off outrightly.

A value-adding activity is any action taken that ups the benefit of a good or service to a customer or that increases customers Willingness to Pay.

A business can vastly increase its profitability by recognising which activities increase value, those which do not, and stripping away the non value-added activities.

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Willingness to pay (WTP) is the maximum amount an individual is willing to hand over or pay to procure a unit of a product or service. Willingness to pay a vital in finding the best possible price a product should be sold for and help to reach a compound for the price between both the seller and buyer.

An increase in activity costs that exceed amounts that customers are willing and able to pay for a commodity, product, goods or services should warrant the need for the reduction in price of such product.

A value-added activity is any action taken that increases the benefit of a good or service to a customer, it is the value that a product or services have to customers at any given period in the production and supply cycle and this increases customers Willingness to Pay for the product.

Businesses organizations can greatly increase the profit that they make by taking notice of such activities that increases the value of the product or services they render or offers, and those that do not add or have good valuation from the consumer, and then having to do away and discontinuing the rendering of production of products or services that are non valueable to the consumer.

Bonds Calculations:

Bonds outstanding value:

Bond's face value =        $250,000

Discount =                            15,000

Proceeds from bonds = $235,000

Bonds coupon payment = $15,000 ($250,000 * 6%)

Bonds Interest expense = $16,450 ($235,000 * 7%)

Amortized discount = $1,450

December 31, 2017:

Bonds coupon payment = $15,000 ($250,000 * 6%)

Bonds Interest expense = $16,450 ($235,000 * 7%)

Amortized discount =          $1,450 ($16,450 - $15,000)

Outstanding value = $236,450 ($235,000 + 1,450)

December 31, 2018:

Bonds coupon payment = $15,000 ($250,000 * 6%)

Bonds Interest expense = $16,552 ($236,450 * 7%)

Amortized discount =          $1,552 ($16,552 - $15,000)

Outstanding value = $238,002 ($236,450 + 1,552)

December 31, 2019:

Bonds coupon payment = $15,000 ($250,000 * 6%)

Bonds Interest expense = $16,660 ($238,002 * 7%)

Amortized discount =          $1,660 ($16,660 - $15,000)

Outstanding value = $239,662 ($238,002 + 1,660)

December 31, 2020:

Bonds coupon payment = $15,000 ($250,000 * 6%)

Bonds Interest expense = $16,776 ($239,662 * 7%)

Amortized discount =          $1,776 ($16,776 - $15,000)

Outstanding value = $241,438 ($239,662 + 1,776)

December 31, 2021:

Bonds coupon payment = $15,000 ($250,000 * 6%)

Bonds Interest expense = $16,901 ($241,438 * 7%)

Amortized discount =           $1,901 ($16,901 - $15,000)

Outstanding value = $243,339 ($241,438 + 1,901)

Depreciation on Capitalized Equipment Repairs:  

Excess depreciation expense:

2020 = $850 ($8,500 * 10%)

Vanguard has an overall (composite) WACC of 10%, which reflects the cost of capital for its average asset. Its assets vary widel
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

The projects which maximize Vanguard's shareholder wealth are Project A; Project B; Project D.

Explanation:

Projects which maximize the shareholder value are projects delivering Expected Returns which are higher than its risk-adjusted weighted average cost of capital (WACC).

As a result, Project A with Expected return of 15% and risk adjusted WACC of 12%; Project B with Expected return of 12% and risk adjusted WACC of 10%; Project D with Expected return of 9% and risk adjusted WACC of 8%; are the projects that maximize the shareholder's value.

On the other hand, Project C with Expected return of 11% and risk adjusted WACC of 12% is harmful to shareholder value.
