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%

puteri [66]

Answer:The product margin for product M5 is $7,385

Explanation:

To calculate the product margin for product M5,

Processing 3,870 ÷ 9,000

Processing 0.43 per MH × 500

= $215

Supervising $25 per batch × 500 batches

= $12,500

Total = $12,500 + $215

= $12,715
