Och, Inc., is considering a project that will result in initial aftertax cash savings of $3.5 million at the end of the first year, and these savings will grow at a rate of 4 percent per year indefinitely. The firm has a target debt–equity ratio of .55, a cost of equity of 13 percent, and an aftertax cost of debt of 5.5 percent. The cost-saving proposal is somewhat riskier than the usual projects the firm undertakes; management uses the subjective approach and applies an adjustment factor of +2 percent to the cost of capital for such risky projects. Under what circumstances should Och take on the project?

Consider the market for gasoline. suppose that, in a competitive market without government regulations, the equilibrium price of gasoline is $3.00 per gallon, and employees at gas stations earn $17.50 per hour. complete the following table by indicating whether each of the statements is an example of a price ceiling or a price floor and whether it results in a shortage or a surplus or has no effect on the price and quantity that prevail in the market. statement price control effect the government has instituted a legal minimum price of $3.40 per gallon for gasoline. the government prohibits gas stations from selling gasoline for more than $3.40 per gallon. due to new regulations, gas stations that would like to pay better wages in order to hire more workers are prohibited from paying more than $14.50 per hour.

Solomon chemical company makes three products, b7, k6, and x9, which are joint products from the same materials. in a standard batch of 320,000 pounds of raw materials, the company generates 70,000 pounds of b7, 150,000 pounds of k6, and 100,000 pounds of x9. a standard batch costs $3,840,000 to produce. the sales prices per pound are $10, $14, and $20 for b7, k6, and x9, respectively. (a) allocate the joint product cost among the three final products using weight as the allocation base. (b) allocate the joint product cost among the three final products using market value as the allocation base. (c) allocate the joint product cost among the three final products using weight as the allocation base.
