Answer:

Cost of equity = 14.43%

Explanation:

Weigheted Average cost of capital is computed using the formula below:

WACC = (Wd×Kd)  + (We×Ke)

           Kd= aftre tax cost of debt= 12%× (1-0.4)= 7.2%

           Wd =Proportion of debt= 40%

           We = proportion of equity = 60%

            Ke= cost of equity.

let the cost of equity be "y"

WACC = 11.54

11.54 = (40%× 7.2%) + (60% × y)

0.1154  = 0.0288 + 0.6y

0.1154 - 0.0288 = 0.6y

y =(0.1154 - 0.0288)/0.6

y = 0.1443 × 100

y =14.43%

Cost of equity = 14.43%

Less: Estimated uncollectible accounts ($2,204,800 × 2 %)         ($44,096)

Net sales                                                                                        $2,160,704

Cost of goods sold (1,100,000 × 1.03)                                          ($1,133,000)

Gross profit                                                                                     $1,027,704

Operating expenses (475,000 × 1.10)                                            ($522,500)

Depreciation                                                                                     ($25,000)

Net income                                                                                       $480,204

Explanation:

Make the adjustments stated on the 2014 Income Statement.

For Operating Expenses, it is wise to first remove the depreciation expense and apply the increment of 10% to reflect Operating Costs for 2015.

Treat Depreciation Expense separately and at the same amount as for 2014, since depreciation is calculated on straight line method.
