Answer:

8.1%

Explanation:

Firstly, let look at the formula for calculating weighted average cost of capital (WACC):

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

A: Market value of company asset;

D: Market value of company debt;

E: Market value of company equity;

PE: Market value of company preferred equity;

r_D: cost of debt;

r_E: cost of equity/retained earnings;

r_PE: cost of preferred equity;

t: tax rate

Putting all the numbers together, we have:

WACC = 35% x 6.5% x (1-25%) +  55% x  10.5%  + 10% x 6% = 8.1%

Answer:

The answer is 8.08%.

Explanation:

We have the WACC is equal to weighted average of After-tax cost of Debt, Cost of preferred shares and Cost of common shares.

WACC = Percentage of Debt in capital structure * (1 - tax rate) * Cost of Debt + Percentage of Preferred share in capital structure * Cost of preferred shares + Percentage of common equity in capital structure * Cost of common equity = 35% * ( 1 - 25%) * 6.5% + 10% * 6.00% + 55% * 10.50% = 8.08%.

So, the WACC is 8.08%.

GoSnow sells snowboards. Each snowboard requires direct materials of $128, direct labor of $53, and variable overhead of $63. Th
Fofino [41]

Answer:

Unitary selling price=  $304.93

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Unitary variable costs:

direct materials of $128

direct labor of $53

the variable overhead of $63.

Fixed costs:

The fixed overhead costs of $301,000

Fixed selling and administrative costs of $229,000

The company has a target profit of $189,800.

Units sold= 11,800 snowboards

First, we need to calculate the total contribution margin required:

Contribution margin= net profit + total fixed expense

Contribution margin= 189,000 + (301,000 + 229,000)

Contribution margin= $719,000

Now, we calculate the total variable expense:

Total variable cost= 11,800* (128 + 53 + 63)

TVC= 2,879,200

Finally, we calculate total sales and the unitary selling price:

Total sales= contribution margin + total variable cost

Total sales= 719,000 + 2,879,200= 3,598,200

Unitary selling price= 3,598,200/11,800= $304.93

When the effective-interest method of bond discount amortization is used,
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer: C. interest expense will not be a constant dollar amount over the life of the bond.

Explanation:

When a bond is sold at a discount, the discount will have to be amortized over the life of the bond to ensure that it reaches par at maturity.

As a result, the interest expense will be based on a larger figure every year which would mean that it would have to be larger each time. t will therefore not be a constant dollar amount over the life of the bond.

Cox Co. accounts for its inventory using the LIFO cost method. An inventory loss from a permanent market decline of $360,000 occ
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

$360,000

Explanation:

Last in first out (LIFO) is a method used in inventory where the cost of most recently purchased goods is the one to be expensed first. Also current losses are the first to be reported.

An inventory loss incurred in a quarter must not be deferred, but recorded as items within an interim must be reported in the same period they were incurred, unless it can be redeemed before the end of the fiscal year. It is not considered a temporary item.

The loss reported in May will be reported for that quarter in June.
