<u>Solution: </u>

The answer is attached.

<u>Part (b):</u>  

How many screens will be built if the real interest rate is 5.5 percent?

<u>Answer:</u> 3 screens

<u>Part (c): </u>

How many screens will be built if the real interest rate is 7.5 percent?

<u>Answer:</u> 1 screen

<u>Part (d):</u>

How many screens will be built if the real interest rate is 10 percent?

<u>Answer:</u> 0 screens

<u>Part (e): </u>

If the real interest rate is 5.5 percent, how far would construction costs have to fall before the builder would be willing to build a five-screen complex?

<u>Answer:</u> $727,272.73(approx.)

Explanation:

Part (a):

Make a table showing the value of the marginal product for each screen from the first through the fifth:

Solution:

The solution is attached with working.

<u>Part (b):</u>

<u>How many screens will be built if the real interest rate is 5.5 percent?</u>

<u>Solution:</u>

3 screens

The interest cost of each screen = 5.5% x $1,000,000 = $55,000.

There are no other costs mentioned. The value of marginal product exceeds $55,000 for 3 screens.

Therefore, 3 screens should be built.

<u>Part (c): </u>

<u>How many screens will be built if the real interest rate is 7.5 percent?</u>

<u>Solution:</u>

1 screen

The value of the marginal product exceeds the interest cost (7.5% of $1,000,000, or $75,000) for only the first screen.

Thus, <u>one</u> screen will be built.

<u>Part (d):</u>

<u>How many screens will be built if the real interest rate is 10 percent?</u>

<u>Solution:</u>

0 screens

At 10% interest, the interest cost of a screen is $100,000, more than the value of the marginal product of even the first screen.

<u> </u>Thus, no screens will be built.

Part (e):

<u>If the real interest rate is 5.5 percent, how far would construction costs have to fall before the builder would be willing to build a five-screen complex?</u>

<u>Solution:</u>

The value of the marginal product of the fifth screen is $40,000. At an interest rate of 5.5%, building five screens is profitable only if 5.5% times the per-screen construction cost is no greater than $40,000.

<u>Financial cost per screen = real interest rate x construction cost of per screen </u>

$40, 000 = 5.5% x construction cost per screen Construction cost per screen  = $40,000 ÷ 5.5%

= $727,272.73(approx.)

A financial adviser manages an equity portfolio for an endowment fund, which has an 8.2% return objective. The adviser makes a s
MArishka [77]

Answer:

The endowment fund is not satisfied with the advisor's performance

Explanation:

Judging from a nominal interest rate perspective where return expected of an investment comprises of real rate of return and an extra return which is a compensation for inflation rate in the economy,the endowment fund is not satisfied with performance of the advisor.

The satisfactory rate of return that would be expected of the advisor is computed below:

nominal interest rate=real rate+inflation rate

real rate is 8.2%

inflation rate is 2.9%

nominal interest rate=8.2%+2.9%

                                  =11.10%

Bruce &amp; Co. expects its EBIT to be $165,000 every year forever. The company currently has no debt but can borrow at 8.6 perc
zmey [24]

Answer:

14.33%

Explanation:

WACC is the average cost of capital of the firm based on the weightage of the debt and weightage of the equity multiplied to their respective costs.

According to WACC formula

WACC = ( Cost of equity x Weightage of equity ) + ( Cost of debt ( 1- t) x Weightage of debt )

First Calculate the Weightage

Market Value of Shares = EBIT / cost of equity = $165,000 / 14.7% = $1,122,449

Value of Debt = $55,000

Total = $1,122,449 + $55,000 = $1,177,449

Weightage

Equity =  $1,122,449 / $1,177,449 = 0.9533

Debt = 0.0467

Placing values in the WACC formula

WACC = ( 14.7% x 0.9533 ) + ( 8.6% ( 1 - 0.21 ) x 0.0467 )

WACC = 14.01% + 0.32% = 14.33%
