Answer:

A. $162,500

B. $17,500

Explanation:

Data

EBIT = $25,000

Tax rate = T = 35%

Discount Rate = r = 10%

Requirement A:  Market Value

The Market value of the firm can be calculated by using the following formula

Market Value =  \frac{EBIT(1-T)}{r}

Market Value = \frac{25000(1-0.35)}{0.1}

Market Value = $162,500

Requirement B: Total value of firm If issues $50,000 of debt paying 6% interest

The market value of the firm increases by the present value of the Interest tax shield

The present value of tax shield = Amount of debt x Tax Rate

The present value of tax shield = $50,000 x 35%

The present value of tax shield = $17,500

The market value of the firm will be increased by $17,500

Which business risk is avoidable with proper precautions? A. Machine breakdown B. obsolescence of fixed machinery. C. natural ca
tamaranim1 [39]

The business risk which is avoidable if there is proper precaution is letter A. Machine Breakdown. Comparing to other choices, if a machine is used with absolute care and it is well-maintained, then possible frequent breakdowns will be avoided. Unlike the obsolescence of fixed machinery; this means that some fixed assets are becoming outdated and can wear-out in due time which becomes a risk that is unavoidable. Natural calamities, on the other hand are inevitable because humans can predict some natural disasters, but cannot control the extent of damage caused by certain calamities to the business. Last but not the least, is the change in management. Despite the fact that each and everyone in the company is doing their job very well, still, those higher in authority may choose to retire or transfer to another company.

A hot dog vendor sells an average of 50 hot dogs during a Little League baseball game. If the sales are Normally distributed wit
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

74.64%

Explanation:

Average sales (μ) = 50 hot dogs

Standard deviation (σ) = 7 hot dogs

In a normal distribution, the z-score for any given number of hot dogs sold, X, is determined by:

z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

For X = 45 hot dogs:

z=\frac{45-50}{7}\\ z= -0.7143

For X = 65 hot dogs:

z=\frac{65-50}{7}\\ z= 2.1429

A z-score of -0.7143 falls in the 23.75th percentile of a normal distribution while a z-score of 2.1429 falls in the 98.39th percentile.

Therefore, the probability that he vendor will sell between 45 and 65 hot dogs is:

P(45 \leq X \leq 65) = 98.39-23.75\\P(45 \leq X \leq 65) = 74.64\%
