Once upon a time, there was a small country called Bobistan. Bobistan had, overall, a fairly healthy population. However, in Bobawa, the capital city, there has been a rise in the number of people with Type 2 diabetes in the last 5 years. Bobistan is a relatively flat country, with a population of only 1.6 million people. In the last 10 years, Bobistonians have moved away from their traditional diets and started importing foods- in fact, a well-known fast-food chain recently opened up in the middle of Bobawa. Traditionally, most people traveled on horseback, but now things like cars and motorcycles are being seen more frequently. In addition, there are now more doctors than there used to be, and women are able to see a physician during their pregnancy routinely.

Using the 3 paradigms that you’ve read about, discuss the possible causal factors for this sudden rise. Be sure to support your arguments with your readings.

In addition, be sure to touch on 1-2 limitations of your overall argument(s), again, using your readings.

Caspion Corporation makes and sells a product called a Miniwarp. One Miniwarp requires 2.5 kilograms of the raw material Jurislon. Budgeted production of Miniwarps for the next five months is as follows:

The company wants to maintain monthly ending inventories of Jurislon equal to 25% of the following month's production needs. On July 31, this requirement was not met since only 11,700 kilograms of Jurislon were on hand. The cost of Jurislon is $27 per kilogram. The company wants to prepare a Direct Materials Purchase Budget for the next five months.

The total cost of Jurislon to be purchased in August is:

Foods’ (BF) balance sheet shows a total of $25 million long-term debt with a coupon rate of 8.50%. The yield to maturity on this debt is 8.00%, and the debt has a total current market value of $27 million. The balance sheet also shows that the company has 10 million shares of stock, and the stock has a book value per share of $5.00. The current stock price is $20.00 per share, and stockholders' required rate of return, r_s, is 12.25%. The company recently decided that its target capital structure should have 35% debt, with the balance being common equity. The tax rate is 40%. Calculate WACCs based on book, market, and target capital structures, and then find the sum of these three WACCs.
