1. Bevan Industries’ current cost of capital

Discussed hereunder is the step by step calculation of Bevan Industries’ current cost of capital (Barber, 2004).

Cost of Debt (Cd)
Cd = I (1 - TR)

Where I is the Interest Rate on Debt

TR is the Tax Rate
Cd = {(30,000,000 X 0.06) / 25,000,000} X (1 – 0.28)

Based on the given information, the cost of common stock is calculated using the formula
Ccs = Cd + risk premium
rf = (20 X 8) / 160 = 1 (rf is the risk free rate)
Ccs = 5.184 + 0.75(1)

In this scenario, the problem is that Jimmy has aggressive behavior. The issue lies in where this aggressive behavior comes from. In the case of Sally, she thinks that the environment led to his aggressive behavior (nurture); however, Bob imagines aggressive behavior to be part of being a boy, leaving it up to his nature. While I believe it’s true that television exacerbates the issue, there is an inherent aggressiveness in boys that can push them more steadily towards violent behavior than in girls.

At the same time, that same assumption could be the thing that pushes boys toward ...

The incumbent for the At Large Position 2 Houston City Council cannot run for reelection. She has reached the charter limit of three 2-year terms.

A cyborg manifesto is a brilliant article authored by Donna Haraway. It is solely aimed at criticizing the traditional notions of feminism, especially through putting greater emphasis on the issue of identity rather than affinity. In this article, Haraway uses the image or metaphor of a cyborg to urge feminists to move beyond the retrogressive limitations of traditional feminism, gender and politics. The idea of Haraway’s Cyborg calls for a non-essentialized and material-semiotic metaphor that is considered capable of uniting diffuse political coalitions through the notion of affinity (Haraway, 1991, p.153). She clearly addresses the rift between a feminist discourse ...
