Answer:

B) 9.1%

Explanation:

Cost of debt is the interest rate paid by a company due to borrowing money; i.e  debt from investors.

$185million in debt is the face value of debt that Westford Corporation had and the $26 million dollars of interest expense is the cost of the debt in dollars;

First, find pretax cost of debt ;

Pretax cost of debt = (Interest expense / Face value of debt )*100

= (26,000,000/ 185,000,000 )*100

=0.1405 *100

= 14.05%

Next, use pretax cost of debt to find after-tax cost of debt;

After-tax cost of debt = Pretax cost of debt (1-tax)

= 14.05% *(1-0.35)

= 9.13%

Therefore, Westford's cost of debt capital is 9.1%

Harman [31]

Answer:

is the addition to total output due to the addition of the last unit of an input, holding all other inputs constant.

Explanation:

The marginal product of an input is the change in total output as a result of the change in output by 1 unit

For example, the table below is the total product of labour

amount of labour output

1                                 10

2                                20

3                                40

the marginal product of the 3rd worker = (40 - 20) / (3 - 2) = 20

marginal product of the second worker = (20 - 10) / (2 -1 ) = 10

Average output = total output / labour

Mazyrski [523]

Based on the sales revenue that the ice cream manufacturer got and the cost of goods sold, the total gross profit on ice cream sales is $300,000.

<h3>How is the total gross profit calculated?</h3>

This can be found as:

= Sales revenue - Cost of goods sold

Sales revenue:

= 200,000 x 4.70

= $940,000

Cost of goods sold:

= Total production cost / Total units produced x Units sold

= 665,600 / 208,000 x 200,000

= $640,000

Gross profit:

= 940,000 - 640,000

= $300,000
