Answer:

ke=0.1922

Explanation:

WACC=We*ke+Wd*kd(1-t)

Where:

We=weight of common equity in the capital structure

ke=cost of equity

Wd=Weight of debt in the capital structure

kd= Cost of debt i.e yield to maturity on the bonds

t= tax rate.

Since WACC is estimated to be 14.8%

0.148=0.65*ke+0.35*0.11(1-0.4)

ke=\frac{0.148-[0.35*0.11(1-0.4)]}{0.65}=0.192154

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

<u>No</u>

Explanation:

<em>Remember, </em>in business law, as long as both parties did not sign a contractual document, the purchase is not legal.

In this case, it could be observed that Ganze only "mailed an acceptance" not a signed document between both parties agreeing on the purchase of her antique car.

Also, the fact that she quickly sent a telegram letting  Archer know that she is rejecting the offer, shows that she acted in good fate to withdraw her acceptance on time.

Advocard [28]

Answer: A) Fair value of the asset(s) given up.

Non-monetary exchange occurs when non-financial assets are exchanged in a transaction. Recording this transaction is based on the fair value of the assets exchanged and the recording is usually done in one of 3 ways being,

1. At the fair value of the asset transferred in exchange for it with a gain or loss on the exchange being recorded.

2. At the fair value of the asset received, if the fair value of this asset is more evident than the fair value of the asset transferred in exchange for it.

3. At the recorded amount of the surrendered asset, if no fair values are determinable or the transaction has no commercial substance.

Aneli [31]

Answer:

d)The opportunity cost of 1 lb. of coffee is 4 lbs. of bananas for Oscar.

Explanation:

a)The opportunity cost of 1 lb. of bananas is 4 lbs. of coffee for Oscar.

In order to produce 64 pounds of banana, Oscar has to give up producing 16 pounds of coffee, his opportunity cost is:

C= \frac{16}{64}= 0.25

The statement is false.

b)Oscar has absolute advantage in the production of coffee.

Julia has a higher production capacity for coffee (20 pounds to 16 pounds) and therefore has the absolute advantage.

The statement is false.

c)Julia has comparative advantage in the production of bananas.

Julia has a higher opportunity cost for producing a pound of bananas (0.5 pounds of coffee to 0.25 pounds of coffee) and therefore does not have the comparative advantage.

The statement is false.

d)The opportunity cost of 1 lb. of coffee is 4 lbs. of bananas for Oscar.

In order to produce 16 pounds of coffee, Oscar has to give up producing 64 pounds of banana, his opportunity cost is:

C= \frac{64}{16}= 4

The statement is true.
