A. Question 3 is D. ($600,000 less, $300,000 and less $400,000 leaves a shortage of $100,000.) Question 4 is A - That is the only answer that makes sense. Structure of interest rates relates to the change in interest rates for the same security as the term increases.

Q. principles of finance
Asked by kimberly w - Thu Apr 19 00:45:28 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The cost of external capital is a debt to investors who really expect that their capital apprecitates much better than close to risk free int. rate. Retaineed earnings is just cash so you simply discount it (never consider free since you can invest it risk free) at close to risk free rate. It is really a question of assumption for me but if you are making the decistion as an officer fo the company your obligations to the shareholders should dictate that you treat external equity capital as more expensive than cash.

A. 1. Variable costs could have to do with utilities and other services or if it pertained to inventory you would probably take an average of the costs from the different vendors. Another variable cost could be shipping charges. 2. 2 things at break even would be the cost of goods produced and the amount of return on those goods. 3. You would have to make and sell 1000 units to hit "break even" 4. Expansion 5.
