The actual inventory holding cost incurred by an item depends on how long it actually spends in inventory.

svlad2 [7]

True. The actual inventory holding cost incurred by an item depends on how long it actually spends in inventory. Holding costs are costs that happen when the inventory stays put and does not sell. The costs are calculated into the inventory costs along side of ordering and shortage costs. Holding costs can include the goods being damaged or spoiling due to the length of being held. Since they can be held for 5 days or 100 days (example) the total cost that is held depends on the length the items were held for.

Answer:

a. The required rate of return on Okefenokee stock is 16%.

b. WACC = 10.56%.

c. Estimate the discount rate for an expansion of the company's present business.

It should be the same as the WACC = 10.56%

d. The required rate of return on Okefenokee's new venture is Ke = 18 %.

Explanation:

Here the given is,

E = $6 million, D = $4 million, Beta = 1.2,

Rmp = the expected risk premium on the market =10%.

Rf = The Treasury bill rate = 4%

a. The required rate of return on Okefenokee stock,

$Ke = Rf + Beta \times Rmp = 4 + 1.2 \times 10 = 16%$ %.

b. Tax rate, T = 40%

The proportion of debt = $Wd = D / (D + E) = 4 / (6 + 4) = 0.4$

Proportion of equity, We = 1 - Wd = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6

Cost of debt, Kd = Risk-free rate as debt is free of default = 4%

$WACC = Wd \times Kd \times (1 - T) + We\times Ke\\\\ = 0.4 \times4\times (1 - 40) + 0.6 \times 16\\\\ = 10.56%$

WACC = 10.56%.

c. Estimate the discount rate for an expansion of the company's present business.

It should be the same as the WACC = 10.56%

d. Suppose the company wants to diversify into the manufacture of rose-colored glasses. The beta of optical manufacturers with no debt outstanding is 1.4. What is the required rate of return on Okefenokee's new venture? (You should assume that the risky project will not enable the firm to issue an additional debt)

$Ke = Rf + Beta \times Rmp\\\\Ke = 4 + 1.4 \times 10 = 18%$

Ke = 18 %.
