Answer:
A. 12.1%
B. 8.9%
Explanation:
a. Calculation for What is the company's new cost of equity
Using this formula
New cost of equity=Cost of capital+[(Cost of capital- Debt interest rate ) *(Debt-equity ratio)*(1)]
Let plug in the formula
New cost of equity=[0.089+[(0.089-0.057)*(1)*1]
New cost of equity=[0.089+0.032*(1)*1]
New cost of equity=[0.121*(1)*1]
New cost of equity=0.121*100
New cost of equity=12.1%
Therefore the company's new cost of equity will be 12.1%
b. Calculation for What is its new WACC
Particular Weight Cost Weighted cost
Equity 0.5000 *12.1% = 0.0605
Debt 0.5000 * 5.7% =0.0285
WACC =0.089*100
WACC =8.9%
(0.0605+0.0285)
Therefore the new WACC will be 8.9%
Answer: Turn down the acquisition offer and prepare to resist a hostile takeover.
Explanation:
Since Johnson analysed the past performance of Openlane hardware and found out that past performance, conducting focus groups, and interviewing Openlane employees, Johnson concludes that the company has poor profit margins, sells shoddy merchandise, and treats customers poorly, then Johnson and Conecom Hardware should turn down the acquisition offer and prepare to resist a hostile takeover.
In this case, the merge between the companies will have a negative impact on Johnson and Conecom hardware due to the fact that the company has a bad reputation already and this can have an effect on Conecom. Therefore, the acquisition offer should be turned down.
The consequence if a memory manager and a processor manager
stopped communicating would lead to a negative outcome as they need to
communicate in order for the process managaer to process the information that
is being delivered in and out and for the memory manager to store each of that
information that could be later use in the future and for privacy purposes. If
they weren’t able to communicate, the process would be disrupted, causing
negative outcomes such as having information to be leaked and to have no
organization at all.
Zippy's economic profit is $80,000.
Economic Profit = Revenues - (Explicit Cost + Implicit Cost)
Implicit cost or opportunity cost refers to the loss an individual incurs from an alternative decision, as a result of making a decision.
In this question, Zippy's implicit costs are the $30,000 from his job at Joe's car repair.
Additionally, he loses the 10% interest he would have earned on his savings of $150,000 had he not started his business.
So Zippy's implicit cost is $45,000 ($30,000 + $15,000)
