Answer:
WACC = 0.18 or 18%
Option b is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure that can contain one or more of the following components, namely debt, preferred stock and common equity. The formula to calculate the WACC is as follows,
WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate) + wP * rP + wE * rE
Where,
- w represents the weight of each component
- D, P and E represents debt, preferred stock and common equity respectively
- r represents the cost of each component
- rD * (1-tax rate) represents the after tax cost of debt
WACC = 0.2 * 0.16 + 0.8 * 0.185
WACC = 0.18 or 18%
Answer:
Explanation:
%increase is given as = increase/ original prices ×100
Increase = new cost - original cost
The original average cost is $16000,
And the new average cost is $28,000
Then,
Increase = 28000-16000
Increase =$12,000
Then,
%increase=increase/original cost ×100
%increase = 12000/16000 ×100
%increase=75%
The rate of increase of the automobile cost is 75%
Answer:
The effective rate of protection for Canada’s steel industry is 21%
Explanation:
The computation of the effective rate is shown below:
Steel percentage = (Production worth of steel) ÷ (Taconite worth)
= ($1,000,000) ÷ ($100,000)
= 10%
And the tariff rate for steel is 20%
And the taconite percentage is 10%
So, the effective rate would be equal to
= Tariff rate for steel + taconite percentage × steel percentage
= 20% + 10% × 10%
= 20% + 1%
= 21%
