Global technology’s capital structure is as follows: debt 35 % preferred stock 15 common equity 50 the aftertax cost of debt is 9.00 percent; the cost of preferred stock is 13.00 percent; and the cost of common equity (in the form of retained earnings) is 16.00 percent. calculate the global technology’s weighted cost of each source of capital and the weighted average cost of capital. (do not round intermediate calculations. input your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)

You are opening a new store and must project in your business plan the amount of inventory shrinkage. you have forecasted $1,200,000 in sales for the first year. assuming your shrinkage will be 5%, the high end of the national average, calculate the projected annual shrinkage for your business plan. you are opening a new store and must project in your business plan the amount of inventory shrinkage. you have forecasted $1,200,000 in sales for the first year. assuming your shrinkage will be 5%, the high end of the national average, calculate the projected annual shrinkage for your business plan.

One question from a survey was "how many credit cards do you currently have? " the results of the survey are provided. complete parts (a) through (g) below. click the icon to view the survey results. (a) determine the mean number of credit cards based on the raw data. the mean is 3.113.11 credit cards. (type an integer or a decimal. do not round.) (b) determine the standard deviation number of credit cards based on the raw data. the standard deviation is 1.9111.911 credit cards. (round to three decimal places as needed.) (c) determine a probability distribution for the random variable, x, the number of credit cards issued to an individual. x (# of cards) p(x) x (# of cards) p(x) 1 0.280.28 6 nothing 2 nothing 7 nothing 3 nothing 8 nothing 4 nothing 9 nothing 5 nothing 10 nothing (type integers or decimals. do not round.)

This exercise illustrates that poor quality can affect schedules and costs. a manufacturing process has 130 customer orders to fill. each order requires one component part that is purchased from a supplier. however, typically, 3% of the components are identified as defective, and the components can be assumed to be independent. (a) if the manufacturer stocks 130 components, what is the probability that the 130 orders can be filled without reordering components? (b) if the manufacturer stocks 132 components, what is the probability that the 130 orders can be filled without reordering components? (c) if the manufacturer stocks 135 components, what is the probability that the 130 orders can be filled without reordering components?
