Answer:
14.05%
Explanation:
Given that,
Beta = 1.3
Risk-free rate (Rf) = 9.5%
Return on the Market (RM) = 13%
According to CAPM approach:
Cost of common equity (RE):
= [Rf + β (RM – Rf)]
= [9.5% + 1.3 (13% - 9.5%)]
= [9.5% + 1.3 (3.5%)]
= [0.095 + 1.3 (0.035)]
= [0.095 + 0.0455]
= 0.1405
= 14.05%
Therefore, the firm's cost of common equity is 14.05%.
Answer: $651,000
Explanation:
From the above question, Apple's iPod carries a two-year warranty against manufacturer's defects.
warranty costs are expected to be approximately 3% of sales.
Total sales are $30.7 million, and actual warranty expenditures are $270,000.
Total warranty cost = $30.7 million x 3% = $921,000
During the 1st year only $270,000 of warranty expenses was made.
Therefore the company will carry as liability at the end of the year a total of $921,000 - $270,000 = $651,000
