Answer:

B) 11.82 percent

Explanation:

WACC formula = wE*rE + wD*rd(1-tax)

wE = weight of equity

rE = cost of equity

wD = weight of debt

rd = pretax cost of debt

If D/E = 0.55 / 1 , then  D+E = 0.55 +1 = 1.55

therefore wD = 0.55 / 1.55 = 0.3548 or 35.48%

and wE = 1 / 1.55 = 0.6452 or 64.52%

Next, plug in the numbers to the above WACC formula;

WACC = (0.6452*0.154) + [0.3548* 0.078(1- 0.32) ]

= 0.0994 + 0.0188

= 0.1182 or 11.82%

Therefore, the company's WACC = 11.82%

Answer:

B-Fun Company

a. The average cost per unit for direct materials = $8.00

b. The total cost to be incurred for direct materials = $400,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Selling and administrative salaries = $110,000

Purchase of raw materials =  $290,000

Direct labor = ?

Advertising expense = $80,000

Manufacturing overhead = $270,000

Sales Commissions = $50,000

Inventory balances:

Raw materials    $40,000     $10,000

Work in process        ?         $35,000

Finished goods $50,000        ?

Total manufacturing costs = $683,000

Goods available for sale = $740,000

Cost of goods sold = $660,000

1. Ending inventory of finished goods:

Beginning inventory        $50,000

Cost of manufacturing    683,000

Cost of goods sold        (660,000)

Ending inventory             $73,000

2. Cost of raw materials:

Beginning inventory =   $40,000

Purchases                      290,000

less Ending inventory     (10,000)

Cost of raw materials $320,000

3. Direct labor:

Cost of manufacturing =  $683,000

cost of raw materials        (320,000)

manufacturing overhead (270,000)

Direct labor                        $93,000

4. Beginning work in process:

Ending work in process =    $35,000

Cost of manufacturing         683,000

Less: Direct labor                  (93,000)

         Manuf. overhead      (270,000)

         Direct materials        (320,000)

Beginning work in process $35,000

                                         Current    Following

                                           Year          Year

Raw materials:

Average cost per unit       $8.00          $8.00

Units of materials              40,000       50,000

Total cost                      $320,000   $400,000

Average cost per unit = Total materials cost/Units of materials

= $320,000/40,000 = $8

Total manufacturing cost for the following year = $8 x 50,000 units

= $400,000

zloy xaker [14]

The correct answer would be option D, Markets tend to move towards equilibrium as individuals respond to incentives.

As a result, you and many other college students decide to major in engineering. This illustrates the principle of Equilibrium as individuals respond to incentives.

Explanation:

When supply and demand in an economy balances in the market keeping all other factors constant, then this situation is called as Market Equilibrium. With the change in these factors of the economy, the market equilibrium also changes, and there might be no equilibrium depending upon them at some point of time.

So when students see that there is a demand of engineering in the economy and music graduates are having difficulty in getting jobs due to more supply of music graduates, students move towards the engineering field in order to achieve the market equilibrium as they want to get jobs as an incentive.
