Answer:

The WACC is 8.66%

Explanation:

The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost to firm of its capital structure which can have 3 components namely debt, preferred stock and common stock. We take the weighted average of these components and their respective costs to calculate WACC. Furthermore, we take the after tax cost of debt for WACC calculation and that is why we multiply the cost of debt by (1-tax rate).

WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate)  +  wP * rP  +  wE * rE

WACC = 0.33  *  0.065  *  (1-0.28)  +  0.08 * 0.06  +  0.59 * 0.1125

WACC = 0.086619 or 8.86619% rounded off to 8.66%

A consumer has two basic choices: rent a DVD movie for $4.00 and spend 2 hours watching it, or spend $13 for a miniature golf ga
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

Play miniature golf instead of renting the movie.

Explanation: Marginal utility is the added satisfaction derived from spending an extra unit of money.

Now we can see that the consumer values time at $12 per hour, and they'll spend a total of $24 on watching the DVD because this will take 2 hours, the consumer will also spend just $12 on miniature golf because this takes just one hour.

Now factoring the costs of the DVD and the miniature golf into the equation, we have:

Total cost of renting and watching the DVD:

$4 + $24 = $28

Total cost of playing miniature golf:

$13 + $12 = $25

We can see that the consumer will spend less in playing miniature, while getting the same marginal utility with the other option.
