PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

a. $700,000

b. 40% increase

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

a)  

Increase in sales = 20%

So last  unit sale

= Unit sales ÷ increased unit sales percentage

= 60,000 ÷ 1.2

= 50,000

Previous year operating income  is

= Last unit sales × (Selling price per unit - variable cost per unit) - Fixed expenses

= 50,000 × ($50-$30) - $500,000

= $500,000

Current Net operating income  is

= Current units sales × (Selling price per unit - variable cost per unit) - Fixed expenses

= 60,000 × ($50-$30) - $500,000

= $700,000

b)

Percentage increase in net operating income is

= (Current Net operating income - Previous year operating income) ÷ Previous year operating income

= ($700,000 - $500,000) ÷ $500,000

= 40% increase

The net operating income is the income which is come after deducting all the variable cost, fixed cost from the sales revenue i.e earned by the company

At the beginning of the year, a company predicts total overhead costs of $690,900. The company applies overhead using machine ho
nignag [31]

Answer:

$9,400

Explanation:

We know,

predetermined overhead rate for machine hour = \frac{total overhead cost}{total machine hour}

Given,

Total overhead cost = $690,900

Total machine hours = 1,470

Putting the values into the formula, we can get

predetermined overhead rate for machine hour = \frac{690,900}{1,470}

predetermined overhead rate for machine hour = $470

When we use a separate job, the overhead cost will be = predetermined overhead rate × total hours used by the job.

The amount of overhead should be applied to Job 65A if that job uses 20 machine hours during January  = 20 hours × $470 = $9,400

Fama’s Llamas has a weighted average cost of capital of 10.9 percent. The company’s cost of equity is 12 percent, and its pretax
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

0.2

Explanation:

The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is calculated as below:

WACC = (D/A) x r_D x (1-t) + (E/A) x r_E , where:

A: Market value of company asset;

D: Market value of company debt;

E: Market value of company equity;

r_D: pre-tax cost of debt;

r_E: cost of equity;

t: tax rate

Rearrange above formula a bit, we get:

WACC = (D/A) x r_D x (1-t) + (1 - D/A) x r_E

Putting all the numbers together, we have:

10.9% = (D/A) x 8.9% x (1 - 38%) + (1 - D/A) x 12%

Solve the equation, we get D/A = 17% or D/E = 0.2

So, target debt−equity ratio is 0.2
