I need a general statistic on what it the typical Cost of goods sold for online retail (example-rent the runway, Le Tote etc.) I can't find a stat. to help me estimate a number thank you.

What role does the cost of capital play in the overall financial decision making of the firm’s top managers?

Why do you think debt offerings are more common than equity offerings and typically much larger as well?

Replacing old equipment at an immediate cost of ​$80,000 and an additional outlay of $15,000 four years from now will result in savings of $22,000 per year for 6 years. The required rate of return is 12​% compounded annually.

Compute the net present value and determine if the investment should be accepted or rejected according to the net present value criterion.

The Ward Company produces and sells a product.

Suppose there is a perfectly competitive industry where all the firms are identical with identical cost curves.

Furthermore, suppose that a representative firm’s total revenue is given by the equation TR = q.p; where q is the quantity of output produced by the firm and p the market price (=P).

The market demand for this product is given by the equation P = 5000 – 9Q where Q is the market quantity.

In addition you are told that the market supply curve is given by the equation P = 1000 + Q.

a. What is the equilibrium quantity and price in this market given this information?

b. The firm’s MC equation based upon its TC equation is MC = 5q + 4. Given this information and your answer in part (a), what is the firm’s profit maximizing level of production, total revenue, total cost and profit at this market equilibrium?

Is this a short-run or long-run equilibrium? Explain your answer.

c. Given your answer in part (b), what do you anticipate will happen in this market in the long-run?

Edwards Construction currently has debt outstanding with a market value of $360,000 and a cost of 7 percent. The company has an EBIT of $25,200 that is expected to continue in perpetuity. Assume there are no taxes.

a. What is the value of the company’s equity and the debt-to-value ratio? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. Round your debt-to-value answer to 3 decimal places, e.g., 32.161.)

b. What is the equity value and the debt-to-value ratio if the company's growth rate is 3 percent? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your equity value to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16, and round your debt-to-value answer to 3 decimal places, e.g., 32.161.)

c. What is the equity value and the debt-to-value ratio if the company's growth rate is 5 percent? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your equity value to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16, and round your debt-to-value answer to 3 decimal places, e.g., 32.161.)

. Answer the following questions briefly, based on your understanding of the common shapes of cost curves.

Where will the marginal cost curve cross the average cost curve? Why?

Will the total cost curve tend to flatten out or to slope up more steeply on the right? Why?

Why are total costs and marginal costs not usually shown on the same graph together?

What are the underlying economic reasons that short-run average cost typically slope down then up?

Will average variable costs usually be above or below average cost? Or will it sometimes be on and sometimes the other? Explain.

Will the marginal cost curve tend to slope up or down? Why?

Why are average costs and fixed costs typically not shown on the same graph together?

How can you tell the level of fixed costs from looking at a total cost curve? What about the level of variable costs?

Part A. Assume the cost of equity, preferred stock and debt of JPM Inc are 20%, 15% and 12%, respectively. Their capital structure is 40% equity, 20% preferred stock and 40% debt. What is the weighted cost of capital (WACC) if the tax rate is 40%?

Part B. JPM Inc proposes to borrow $10 million capital to expand their operations, $4 million in bonds and the rest in common stock. They can issue stocks for $43.75 by paying a dividend of $3.50 next year and maintain a growth rate of 8%. They can issue 20-year bonds for $699.07 paying 8% coupon, paid semi-annually. What is the weighted cost of capital assuming a tax rate of 35%.

Part C. JPM Inc is planning to invest $1,000,000 in new equipment that will increase its after-tax cash flows by $300,000 for the next five year. Its capital structure is 50% debt and 50% equity. If the cost of equity is 18% and after-tax cost of debt is 8%, should they undertake the project?
