Answer:

The WACC is 9.09% and option B is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The WACC or the weighted average cost of capital is a firm's average cost of its capital structure that comprises of debt, preferred stock and common equity. The formula fro WACC is,

WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate)  +  wP * rP  +  wE * rE

Where,

  • wD, wP and wE represents the weightage of debt, preferred stock and common stock in the capital structure or as a proportion of total assets
  • rD, rP and rE represents the cost of debt, preferred stock and common stock
  • We take the after tax cost of debt. So, rD is multiplied by (1- tax rate)

Total Assets = 17000 + 3000 + 15000 = 35000

Taking out these values in thousands for simplicity.

WACC = 15/35 * 0.08 * (1-0.3)  +  3/35 * 0.1  +  17/35 * 0.12

WACC = 0.09085 or 9.085% rounded off to 9.09%

il63 [147K]

Answer:

Closing inventory - $10,160

Costs of goods sold - $9,600

Explanation:

Under the LIFO Method, the cost of good sold equals to

= April 23 units × cost per unit + Remaining units × cost per unit

= 300 units × $22 + 150 units × $20

= $6,600 + $3,000

= $9,600

Since the firm has sold 450 units, so out of which 300 units sold at a price of $22 and the remaining 150 units sold at a price of $20

The ending inventory equals to

= Remaining units × cost per unit + April 1 × cost per unit

= 270 units × $20 + 280 units × $17

= $5,400 + $4,760

= $10,160

Since on April 23, the 420 units were purchase, out of which 150 units are transferred to the cost of good sold and the remaining units 270 units at $20 is transferred to the ending inventory

In Michael Peters' case, he lost his job due to downsizing which caused him to apply his skills and talents to starting up a business.
