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%

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

d. 6,700 units

Explanation:

The computation of the equivalent units for conversion cost by using the FIFO method is shown below:

= Beginning inventory units × remaining percentage + units started and completed + ending inventory units × completion percentage

= 5,000 × 10% + (10,000 - 5,000) + 2,000 × 60%

= 500 + 5,000 + 1,200

= 6,700 units

We simply applied the above formula

You have $106,000 to invest in a portfolio containing Stock X and Stock Y. Your goal is to create a portfolio that has an expect
Helga [31]

Answer:  ER(P) = ERX(WX) + ERY(WY)

                   16 = 13(1-WY)  + 9(WY)

                    16 = 13 - 13WY + 9WY

                    16 = 13 - 4WY

                   4WY = 13-16

                   4WY = -3

                     WY = -3/4

                     WY = -0.75

                     WX = 1 - WY

                     WX = 1 - (-0.75)

                     WX = 1 + 0.75

                     WX = 1.75

 The amount to be invested in stock Y = -0.75 x $106,000

                                                                    = -$79,500

The Beta of the portfolio could be calculated using the formula:

                     BP = BX(WX) + BY(WY)

                     BP = 1.14(1.75) + 0.84(-0.75)

                     BP = 1.995 - 0.63

                     BP = 1.365

Explanation: The expected return of the portfolio is equal to expected return of stock X multiplied by the weight of stock X plus the expected return of stock Y multiplied by weight of security Y. The weight of security Y is -0.75. The weight of security X is equal to 1 - weight of security Y. Thus, the weight of security X is 1.75 since the weight of security Y is negative. The amount to be invested in security Y is -0.75 x $106,000, which is equal to -$79,500

The Beta of the portfolio equals Beta of stock X multiplied by weight of stock X plus the Beta of stock Y multiplied by weight of stock Y. The weights of the two stocks have been obtained earlier. Therefore, the Beta of the portfolio is 1.365.

Garland Company received proceeds of $235000 on 10-year, 6% bonds issued on January 1, 2018. The bonds had a face value of $2500
Lerok [7]

Answer:

$238000

Explanation:

The computation of the carrying value of the bond is shown below:

Given that

Face Value of Bonds = $250,000

Proceeds from issuance of bonds = $235,000

Before that we need to compute the following things

Now

Discount on Bonds Payable = Face Value of Bonds - Proceeds from issuance of bonds

= $250,000 - $235,000

= $15,000

Life of Bonds = 10 years

Now

Discount on Bonds amortized annually = Discount on Bonds Payable ÷ Life of Bonds

= $15,000 ÷ 10

= $1,500

Now

Discount amortized is

= Discount on Bonds amortized annually × expired life

= $1,500 × 2

= $3,000

Finally

Carrying Value of Bonds = Issue Price + Discount amortized

= $235,000 + $3.000

= $238,000
