River Cruises is all-equity-financed with 100,000 shares. It now proposes to issue $250,000 of debt at an interest rate of 10% and to use the proceeds to repurchase 25,000 shares. Suppose that the corporate tax rate is 21%. Calculate the dollar increase in the combined after-tax income of its debt-holders and equity-holders if profits before interest are: (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

First, explain the disadvantage of using VOCs as defense signals and then list ways in which the VOCs might provide advantages that outweigh the disadvantages. 2. Explain why you think one specific advantages is the strongest candidate for explaining why VOCs evolved to be used for defense chemicals 3. Do you think that VOCs signaling evolved before or after the evolution of vascular tissue? Explain you reasoning and use specific examples and/or facts to support your argument

Omicron Company has just paid a dividend of $2 per share. Analysts of the company’s shares estimate a supernormal growth rate of 30% for the company for the next two years. Afterwards, the company is expected grow at a rate of 15% for another three years, before settling down to a stable growth rate of 7.5% forever.

Suppose a recent college graduate's first job allows her to deposit $200 at the end of each month in a savings plan that earns 9%, compounded monthly. This savings plan continues for 6 years before new obligations make it impossible to continue. If the accrued amount remains in the plan for the next 15 years without deposits or withdrawals, how much money will be in the account 21 years after the plan began? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)

You toss a ball straight up. Let t = 0 be the time just after you throw the ball, let t = treturn be the time just before it the ball returns to your hand (motion is in free fall). The only knowns are treturn, g, H (max height), Viy. Use yf = yi+Viy(deltat) -(1/2)g(delta t)^2 to determine the two times when the ball is at half of its maximum height.
