Answer:

B) 17.72%

Explanation:

Cost of preference capital = Share price - Flotation cost

Share price = $21

Flotation Cost = $1.25

Issue price = $21 - $1.25 = $19.75

Tax is not considered while calculating cost of preference capital because dividend is paid to them after tax.

Cost of capital for preference = Dividend/ Issue Price

= $3.5/$19.75 = 17.72%

Therefore, correct option is

B) 17.72%

Answer:<em> </em><em>Therefore, the cost of preferred stock is </em><em>17.72%.</em>

Given:

Selling price (preferred stock) = $21

Annual dividend = 3.5%

Flotation costs = $1.25

We can compute the cost of preferred stock as:

cost \ of \ preferred \ stock = \frac{annual \ dividend}{( Price\ of \ stock - Flotation\ costs )}\\

Cost of preferred stock = 3.5 / ($21 - $1.25)

Cost of preferred stock = 17.72%

<u><em>The correct option is (b)</em></u>

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

B) = $38.44

Explanation:

<em>Activity-based costing is a form of absorption costing where overheads are charged to product using cost drivers. Under this method, overheads are first analyzed and categorized by the activities responsible for them and then charged to product based on the amount of benefits enjoyed using cost drivers.</em>

Activity rate is calculated as:

<em>Activity cost for the period / Total cost drivers for the period</em>

<u><em>Activity rate for supporting customers:</em></u>

<em>The appropriate cost driver to allocate supporting customer activity is the number of customers as given.  This is so because it is most likely that the number of customers served will be a major factor that influences the supporting customers activity costs. </em>

<u><em>Activity rate for supporting customers </em></u>

= Supporting customers overhead/total number of customers

= $34,600/(600+300)

= $38.44
