Answer:

a. With New Stock = 8.307%

b. With Old stock = 7.971%

Explanation:

The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) defines the cost rate that blends the capital structure cost including equity, debt, and preferred stock.

Requirement A

If it uses retained earnings as its source of common equity,

Given,

The weight of the combination of the capital structure is -

W_{d} = 40% = 0.40; W_{p} = 5% = 0.05; W_{e} = 55% = 0.55

For cost of debt, we have to find cost of debt after tax, R_{d}(1 - t) =

6.9% x (1 - 0.40) = 4.14%

Cost of preferred stock, R_{p} = 6.4%

Cost of new Equity, R_{e} = 11.51%

We know, the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) =

W_{d} x R_{d} + W_{p} x R_{p} + W_{e} x R_{e}

= (0.40 x 4.14%) + (0.05 x 6.4%) + (0.55 x 11.51%)

= 1.656% + 0.32% + 6.3305%

= 8.307%

Requirement B

If it has to issue new common stock, the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) = W_{d} x R_{d} + W_{p} x R_{p} + W_{s} x R_{s}

Given,

The weight of the combination of the capital structure is -

W_{d} = 40% = 0.40; W_{p} = 5% = 0.05; W_{e} = 55% = 0.55

For cost of debt, we have to find cost of debt after tax, R_{d}(1 - t) =

6.9% x (1 - 0.40) = 4.14%

Cost of preferred stock, R_{p} = 6.4%

Cost of new Equity, R_{s} = 10.9%

Therefore, putting the value in the equation,

WACC = (0.40 x 4.14%) + (0.05 x 6.4%) + (0.55 x 10.9%)

WACC = 1.656% + 0.32% + 5.995%

WACC = 7.971%

Sharp Company manufactures a product for which the following standards have been set: Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price
ohaa [14]

Answer:

Direct labor cost = $51450

Direct labor hours 4677.27

Direct labor per hour 1.46

Explanation:

Sharp Company

Given Data

Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost

Direct materials 3 feet $ 11 per foot $ 33

Direct labor ? hours ? per hour ?

Materials quantity variance $ 4,400 U

Labor spending variance $ 450 F

Labor efficiency variance $ 2,000 U

1.a.  The Actual Cost per foot of materials for March=$111,300/10000=$ 11.13

Materials quantity variance $ 4,400 U =(Standard Price * Actual Quantity)-(Standard Price * Standard Quantity)

$ 4,400 U = 11* AQ- 11*3 feet*3200

$ 4400= 11* AQ- 105600

$ 4400+ $105600=  11* AQ

AQ =110000/11= 10,000

b. Materials price variance = Actual Price *Actual Quantity - Standard Price * Actual Quantity

Materials price variance =Actual Price *Actual Quantity - Standard Price * Actual Quantity  

Materials price variance =$ 11.13* 10000- 11*10000

Materials price variance=$111,300-110000=1300 Unfavorable

Spending variance= Purchase Price Variance + Materials quantity variance

Spending variance= 1300 Unfavorable + $ 4,400 U= 5700 Unfavorable

2.  Labor spending variance $ 450 F =Labor efficiency variance $ 2,000 U+Direct Labor rate per hour

a. Direct Labor rate per hour =Labor efficiency variance + Labor spending variance =$ 2,000 +$ 450 =$ 2450 Unfav

Direct Labor rate per hour =(actual hours* actual rate)- (actual hours * standard rate)

Direct labor time variance= (actual hours* standard rate)- (standard hours * standard rate)

$ 2450 Unfav= 4900*11- standard hours * 11

standard hours *11= 53900- 2450= 51450

b. Standard Hours= 51450/11= 4677.27

c. Standard Hours per unit of product=  4677.27/3200= 1.46

Actual Hours= 4900/3200= 1.53125
