2) A marketer who has unit costs of $16 and wants to earn a 20 percent markup on sales. How much should the markup price be?
Answer:

If Apple issues bonds of $7 billion then it would increase both the Assets &Liabilities figures by the same amount of $7 billion. In the liabilities side, the long term loans would cover the Bonds payable & underthe asset side, the balance of Bank amount will be increased by $7 billiom
Since the company would have to incur incremental expenses in form of interest on the new bonds issued, this will impact the equityshareholders of the company as it will effect the net profits& Earnings Per Share.
