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%

Mann Corp.’s liability account balances at June 30, Year 2, included a 10% note payable in the amount of $3.6 million. The note
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

D. $180,000

Explanation:

Accrued interest on the note payable at the balance sheet date is the carrying amount of the note multiplied by the interest rate on the note. Because the first payment was made 10/1/Year 2, the carrying amount of the note is $2,400,000 ($3,600,000 - $1,200,000). Also, interest has accrued for only 9 months since the first payment. As a result, accrued interest payable is $180,000 [$2,400,000 × 10% × (9 months ÷ 12 months)].
