Answer:

a.

WACC = 0.07961 or 7.961% rounded off to 7.96%

b.

After tax cost of debt = 0.0474 or 4.74%

Explanation:

a.

The weighted average cost of capital or WACC is the cost of a firm's capital structure. To calculate the WACC, we multiply the weight of each component of the capital structure by the cost of that component. The components of capital structure can be one or all of the following namely debt, preferred stock and common stock.

The formula for WACC is,

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

Where,

  • w represents the weight of each component
  • r represents the cost of each component
  • D, P and E represents debt, preferred stock and common stock respectively

WACC = 0.15 * 0.06 * (1 - 0.21)  +  0.1 * 0.05  +  0.75 * 0.09

WACC = 0.07961 or 7.961% rounded off to 7.96%

b.

The after tax cost of debt is calculated by multiplying the cost of debt by (1 - tax rate) to adjust for the tax advantage provided by debt as interest payments on debt are tax deductible.

After tax cost of debt = 0.06 * (1 - 0.21)

After tax cost of debt = 0.0474 or 4.74%

marishachu [46]

Answer:

The answer is "2.45%".

Explanation:

The answer of option c:

Reduce power by 950 dollars:

In this question it will need to once again take the latest energy cost for analytical hierarchical productivity.  

→ Total Input  = 400 \times  12+21000 \times 1 +(5000-950)+10000

                     = 4800 +21000 + (4050)+10000  \\\\                       = 25800+4050+10000 \\\\                       = 39850\\

Consumer rates  = \frac{1,000}{39,850}

                            =0.0250

Initial efficiency multi-factor= 0.0245

\to \text{percentage  changes} = \frac{\text{New Multi Factor Productivity - Previous Multi-Factor Productivity}}{\text{Originbal Multi-Factor Productivity}}  

                                   = \frac{(0.02450.0251)}{0.0245}\\\\ = 2.45 \ \  \%

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Identification of Features Applying More to Job Order Operations, Process Operations, or Both:

Features  

1. Cost object is a process.                                  Process Operations

2. Measures unit costs only at period-end.        Process Operations

3. Uses indirect costs.                                          Both

4. Transfers costs between Work in              

   Process Inventory accounts.                            Process Operations

5. Uses only one Work in Process account.       Job Operations

6. Uses materials, labor, and overhead costs.    Both

Explanation:

The main difference between the two operations is the manner costs are accumulated.  Job operations accumulate costs for different jobs that are not similar.  Process operations accumulate costs to show the process a product passes through.  The product of a process operation is not unique like the product of a job operation.
