During the current year, the Jules Company incurred the following product costs:Direct materials used in production $250,000Dire

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Option (D) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Direct materials used in production = $250,000

Direct labor = $185,000

Manufacturing overhead = $245,500

Beginning Work in Process Inventory = $20,000

Ending Work in Process Inventory = $30,000

Cost of finished goods manufactured for the year:

= Direct materials used in production + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead + Beginning Work in Process Inventory

= $250,000 + $185,000 + $245,500 + $20,000 - $30,000

= $670,500

If Wild Widgets, Inc., were an all-equity company, it would have a beta of 0.9. The company has a target debt-equity ratio of .4

Veronika [31]

Answer:

a. 6.5%

b. 13.06%

c. 10.91%

Explanation:

a.

Cost of debt of a bond is yield to maturity. Yield to maturity is the rate of return that a investor actually receives or a borrows actually pays on a bond. It is long term return or payment which is expressed in annual term.

Formula for yield to maturity is as follow

Yield to maturity = [ C + ( F - P ) / n ] / [ (F + P ) / 2 ]

By placing values in the formula

Assuming the bond face value is $1,000

Yield to maturity = [ (1000x7.2) + ( 1,000 - $1,090 ) / 20 ] / [ ( 1,000 + $1,090 ) / 2 ]

Yield to maturity = [ $72 + ( 1,000 - $1,090 ) / 20 ] / $1,045

Yield to maturity = [ $72 - $4.5 ] / $1,045

Yield to maturity = $67.5 / $1,045

Yield to maturity = 6.5%

So, the cost of Debt is 6.5%

b.

As 0.9 is the unlevered beta, We need Levered beta due to restructuring of capital.

Beta Levered = Beta Unlevered x ( 1 + ( 1 - tax rate ) x Debt / Equity)

Beta Levered = 0.9 x ( 1 + ( 1 - 0.35 ) x 0.4 )

Beta Levered = 1.134

Cost of equity can be calculated using CAPM

CAPM calculated the expected return on an equity investment based on the risk free rate, market premium and risk beta of the investment.

Formula for CAPM is as follow

Expected return = Risk free Rate + Beta ( Market premium)

As we know the Risk premium is the difference of market return and risk free rate.

Expected return = Risk free Rate + Beta ( Market Return - Risk free Rate )

Ra = Rf + β ( Rm - Rf )

Ra = 4.1% + 1.134 ( 12% - 4.1% )

Ra = 13.06%

Cost of Equity is 13.06%

c.

WACC is the average cost of capital of the firm based on the weightage of the debt and weightage of the equity multiplied to their respective costs.

According to WACC formula

WACC = ( Cost of equity x Weightage of equity )+ ( Cost of debt ( 1- t) x Weightage of debt )

Placing the values in formula

If the debt to equity 0.4 the equity value should be 1 and total capital is 1.4 ( 1 + 0.4 )

WACC = ( 13.06% x 1 / 1.4 )+ ( 6.5% ( 1- 0.35) x 0.4 / 1.4 ) = 9.71% + 1.2% = 10.91%

WACC is 10.91%

Answer:

[D] All of the above.

Explanation:

Front running is the process by which a party to a share purchase has initial knowledge of the future market value of shares that are yet to be issued and makes a proprietary buy order for stock ahead of the client's order.

Normally this can be as a result of insider information which is prohibited, but the options above all allow this practice.

-If the firm can demonstrate that the trade is unrelated to the customer's block order

-If the trade was made to fill or facilitate the customer's block order

-If the trade is executed on a national stock exchange and in compliance with its rules

eduard

Answer:

The price of the bond is $ 21,541.53

Explanation:

The price of the bond is the present value of all cash inflows expected from the bond throughout the bond's life.

The cash inflows comprise of coupon interest interest payments as well as the repayment of the principal amount(the face value of $20,000) at redemption.

The present value is computed by multiplying the cash inflows by the discount factor.

The formula for discounting factor =1/(1+r/2)^t

r is the required yield of 5.4% divided by 2 since the coupon is payable twice a year.

Find attached.
