The company’s profits are taxed at a marginal rate of 40%. Given this data, complete the following sentences: Note: For these computations, round each EPS to two decimal places.

• The company’s percentage change in EBIT is . -12.26% -13.62% -16.34%

• The percentage change in Campbell’s earnings per share (EPS) is . -11.28% -14.10% -19.74%

Olsen Outfitters Inc. believes that its optimal capital structure consists of 70% common equity and 30% debt, and its tax rate is 40%. Olsen must raise additional capital to fund its upcoming expansion. The firm will have $2 million of retained earnings with a cost of rs = 14%. New common stock in an amount up to $8 million would have a cost of re = 17%. Furthermore, Olsen can raise up to $2 million of debt at an interest rate of rd = 11% and an additional $5 million of debt at rd = 14%. The CFO estimates that a proposed expansion would require an investment of $4.6 million. What is the WACC for the last dollar raised to complete the expansion? Round your answer to two decimal places.

  1. The letters ‘A’ to ‘Z’ and ‘a’ to ‘z’ should print the corresponding telephone digit.
  2. This program should use two levels of loops.
    1. One loop should prompt the user to ask them if they wish to convert a telephone letter pattern. The user should be prompted when the program first begins execution and after each completed execution.
    2. (1)             If they do wish to convert a telephone letter pattern, the program should execute again.

(2)             If they do not wish to convert a telephone letter pattern, the program should

terminate

(3) Valid values that the user can enter as to whether they wish to execute the

program are: ‘Y’ or ‘y’ or “N’ or ‘n’ .

(a)      All other responses should error out and user the should be requested to

           enter a valid response.            

    1. The other loop should convert a 10 character letter pattern into the corresponding number pattern.
  1.             The user should be prompted to enter the 10 letter sequence.
  2.             Only the first 10 characters should be able to be entered and converted.
    1. The valid patterns for letter to number conversion of the telephone are:

1

2: ABC

3: DEF

4: GHI

5: JKL

6: MNO

7: PQRS

8: TUV

A counter should keep track of how many telephone button conversions have been processed on and printed on the report.

A solid line of separators such as the **** or #### should be placed between each telephone button conversion done.

Place a good descriptive heading at the top of the report below the required first several output lines indicated at the top of this document.

At least three separate conversions should be processed.
