Answer:
Unit Selling Price Unit Variable Costs Unit Contribution Margin Contribution Margin Ratio
1. $570 $420
Unit Contribution Margin= Unit Sales Price Less Unit Variable Price =
$ 570- $ 450 = $150 (a)
Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution Margin/ Sales = 150/570* 100= 26 % (b)
2. $490 $490 -$130= $360 (c) $130 ($ 130/ $490)* 100= 27 % (d)
3. $23000 (e) $22540 (f) $460 2
Unit Contribution Margin $460
Contribution Margin Ratio 2
Contribution Margin Ratio= Unit Contribution Margin/Sales= $460/ Sales =2 %
$460/ Sales =2 %
Sales = $ 460/2%= $ 23000
Sales - Unit Contribution Margin = $ 460
Unit Contribution Margin= Sales- $460 = $ 23000- $ 460= $ 22540
Answer:
A. 12.1%
B. 8.9%
Explanation:
a. Calculation for What is the company's new cost of equity
Using this formula
New cost of equity=Cost of capital+[(Cost of capital- Debt interest rate ) *(Debt-equity ratio)*(1)]
Let plug in the formula
New cost of equity=[0.089+[(0.089-0.057)*(1)*1]
New cost of equity=[0.089+0.032*(1)*1]
New cost of equity=[0.121*(1)*1]
New cost of equity=0.121*100
New cost of equity=12.1%
Therefore the company's new cost of equity will be 12.1%
b. Calculation for What is its new WACC
Particular Weight Cost Weighted cost
Equity 0.5000 *12.1% = 0.0605
Debt 0.5000 * 5.7% =0.0285
WACC =0.089*100
WACC =8.9%
(0.0605+0.0285)
Therefore the new WACC will be 8.9%
