Answer:

Explanation:

Dividend discount model (DDM) is a method of calculating the cost of equity. The formula is as follows;

cost of equity; r = (D1/P0) +g

whereby, D1= next year's dividend

P0 = Current price of the stock = 27

g = the stock's dividend growth rate = 8% or 0.08 as a decimal

D1 = D0 (1+g)

D1 = 2 (1+0.08) = 2.16

Next, plug in the numbers to the formula

r = (2.16/27)+0.08

r = 0.08 + 0.08

r = 0.16 or 16%

<u>Cost of equity using CAPM</u>

CAPM is Capital asset pricing model. It is also used to estimate the cost of equity.

CAPM; r = risk free + beta ( market risk premium)

r = 0.10 +1.2(0.05)

r = 0.10 + 0.06

r = 0.16 or 16%

Therefore, DDM and CAPM give the same cost of equity.

svp [43]

Answer:

WACC = 11.45 %

Explanation:

Weighted average cost of capital is the average cost of all of the long-term types of finance used by a company weighted according to the that amount of finance used in relation to the total pool of fund

WACC = (Wd×Kd) + (We×Ke) + (Wp × Kp)

After-tax cost of debt = Before tax cost of debt× (1-tax rate)

Kd-After-tax cost of debt = 11.1%(1-0.4) =6.66%

Ke-Cost of equity = 14.7%

Kp= Cost of preferred stock = 12.2%

Wd-Weight of debt =100/270=0.370

We-Weight of equity = 140/270=0.518

Wp= weight of preferred stock = 30/270=0.111

WACC = (0.518× 14.7%) + (0.370 × 6.7%) + (0.111×12.2) =  11.447%

WACC = 11.45 %

Wheeler’s Bike Company manufactures custom racing bicycles. The company uses a job order cost system to determine the cost of ea
Westkost [7]

Answer:

See answers below

Explanation:

1 The predetermined overhead rate

= Cost of manufacturing overhead / Cost driver.

Where cost driver

= labor cost / labor rate

= $240,192 / $12.51

= 19,200 hours

Expected overhead

= depreciation + supervisor + supplies + property tax

= 56,500 + 140,000 + 46,400 + 27,750

Total overhead = 270,650

Overhead rate = 270,650 / 19,200

= 14.10 per hour

2. The amount t of applied overhead for of 18,500 actual hours were worked on

= 18,500 hours × $14.10

= $260,850
