Answer:

its weighted cost of capital for the coming year is 9.64%

Explanation:

WACC is the minimum return expected from a project. It shows the risk of the company.

<u>Calculation of WACC.</u>

Capital Source              Weight            Cost               Total

Debt                                  40%            6.60%             2.64%

Common Equity               60%             11.67%            7.00%

Total                                100%                                    9.64%

Cost of Debt = Market Interest Rate × ( 1 - tax rate)

                     = 11%×(1-0.40)

                     = 6.60%

Cost of Equity = (Next year`s dividend/Current Market Price of a share)+Expected growth rate

                       = ($1.40/$30)+0.07

                       = 11.67%

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

<u>First, we need to calculate the plantwide predetermine manufacturing overhead rate:</u>

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

total estimated overhead costs for the period= (625,000 + 900,000 + 105,000 + 175,000 + 300,000 + 75,000)

total estimated overhead costs for the period= $2,180,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 2,180,000 / 125,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $17.44 per direct labor hour

<u>Now, we can allocate overhead to each product line:</u>

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

<u>Deluxe:</u>

Allocated MOH= 17.44*2,500

Allocated MOH= $43,600

<u>Basic:</u>

Allocated MOH= 17.44*6,000

Allocated MOH= $104,640

<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>

The implicit cost of capital

Implicit cost of capital is the opportunity cost of capital which is already incurred but not reported as a separate cost/expense, Implicit cost is the cost which results from using an existing asset instead of selling or renting it.

For example when a businessman uses his/her existing land which has implicit cost of say $1000 per month but bought it for say $100 many years ago, so $1000 is its implicit cost/current market rent per month which is equal to its oppo

The country of Leverett is a small open economy. Use the information provided below to answer the following questions about nati
oee [108]

Answer:

Explanation:

When Leverett's exports became less popular, its savings, Y-C-G does not change. Reason being that, it is assumed that Y depends on the amount of capital and labour, consumption depends only on disposable income and government spending is a fixed extrinsic variable.

Since investment depends on interest rate, and Leverett is a small open economy that takes the interest rate as given, thus investment also does not change . Neither does net export change (This is shown by the S-I curve in the attachment).

The decreased popularity of Leverett's exports leads to an inward shift of the net export curve inward. At the new equilibrium,net exports remains unchanged, though the currency has depreciated.

Leverett's trade balance remained the same, despite the fact that its exports are less popular, this is due to the fact that  the depreciated currency provides a stimulus to net exports which overcomes the unpopularity of its exports by making them cheaper.

b. Leverett's currency now buys less foreign currency, thus traveling abroad  becomes more expensive. This is an instance showing that imports (including foreign travel) have become more expensive- as required to keep net exports unchanged in the case of decreased demand for exports.

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer: $‭726,957.6‬0
