A firm wants to create a WACC of 11.2 percent. The firm's cost of equity is 16.8 percent and its pretax cost of debt is 8.7 perc
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Debt equity ratio = 1.01

Explanation:

given data

WACC = 11.2 percent

cost of equity = 16.8 percent

pretax cost of debt = 8.7 percent

tax rate = 35 percent

to find out

What does the debt-equity ratio need to be for the firm to achieve its target WACC

solution

we get here WACC that is express as

WACC = Wd × Rd × (1-t) + We × Ke      ..................1

here Wd is weight of debit and t is tax rate and Ke is cost of equity and

Wd + We = 1

so We = 1 - Wd

put value in equation 1

WACC = Wd × Rd × (1-t) + We × Ke

11.20% = Wd × 8.70%  ×(1-35%) + (1-Wd) × 16.80%

solve and we get

Wd = 0.5025

so We will be

We = 1 - 0.5025

We = 0.4975

and

Debt equity ratio will be

Debt equity ratio = \frac{0.5025}{0.4975}

Debt equity ratio = 1.01

A manufacturing company has the following budgeted overhead costs: Indirect materials: $0.50 per unit; Utilities: $0.25 per unit
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Total overhead                       $

Indirect material ($0.5 x 200,000 units) = 100,000

Utilities ($0.25 x 200,000 units)             = 50,000

Supervisory salaries                                 = 60,000

Building rent                                              = 80,000

Total overhead                                             290,000

Overhead rate                = <u>Budgeted overhead</u>

                                           Budgeted direct labour hours

                                         = <u>$290,000</u>

                                              100,000 hours

                                         = $2.90 per direct labour hour

Explanation:

In this case, we need to obtain the total overhead, which is the total of indirect material, utilities, supervisory salaries and building rent.

Then, we will divide the total overhead by direct labour hours so as to determine the overhead rate.
