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%

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

$4,412

Explanation:

If the company estimates that $4,412 of accounts receivables will be uncollectible, then it must record that number under the Allowance for Bad debts Account.

That account started the year with a $3,284 balance, it decreased by $1,826 (debt written off), and then must be adjusted by crediting $2,954 so its balance = $4,412 on December 31.
