Answer:

Company's WACC is 9.6%

Explanation:

WACC is the average cost of capital of the firm based on the weightage of the debt and weightage of the equity multiplied to their respective costs.

Formula for WACC

Weighted Average Cost of Capital = (Cost of Equity x Weightage of equity) + (Cost of preferred Stock x Weightage of preferred Stock ) + (Cost of Debt (1 -t) x Weightage of Debt)

Market Values

Equity = 520,000 x $70 = $36,400,000

Preferred = 23,000 x $91 = $2,093,000

Debt  = $1,110 x 19,000 = $21,090,000

Total Value = $36,400,000 + $2,093,000 + $21,090,000 = $59,583,000

Cost of Equity :

We can calculate cost of equity using CAPM

Capital asset pricing model measure the expected return on an asset or investment. it is used to make decision for addition of specific investment in a well diversified portfolio.

Formula for CAPM

Cost of Equity = Risk free rate + beta ( market return - risk free rate )

Cost of Equity = Rf + β ( Rm - Rf )

Cost of Equity = 5.5% + 1.21 ( 6% )

Cost of Equity = 12.76%

Cost of Preferred stock = 4.6%

We need to calculate the yield to maturity

Yield to maturity = [ C + ( F - P ) / n ] / [ (F + P ) / 2 ]

Placing value in the formula

Yield to maturity = [ 34 + ( $1,000 - $1,110 ) / 48 ] / [ ( $1,000 + $1,110 ) / 2 ]

Yield to maturity = 3% semiannually = 6% annually

Placing values in the formula

Weighted Average Cost of Capital = (12.76% x $36,400,000 / $59,583,000 ) + ( 4.6% x $2,093,000 / $59,583,000 ) + (6% (1 - 0.24 ) x $21,090,000 / $59,583,000 )

Weighted Average Cost of Capital = 7.80% + 0.16% + 1.61% = 9.57%

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The relevant range of activity is 8,000 units to 11,000 units.

When it produces and sells 10,000 units:

Direct materials $ 6.40

Direct labor $ 3.20

Variable manufacturing overhead $ 1.50

Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 14.40

Fixed selling expense $ 2.80

Fixed administrative expense $ 2.00

Sales commissions $ 0.80

Variable administrative expense $ 0.70

A) product costs= Direct material + direct labor + manufacturing overhead

Product cost= (6.40*10000) + (3.20*10000) + (1.5*10000) + (14.40*10000)= $255000

B) Q= 9

Variable cost= direct material + direct labor + variable manufacturing overhead + variable sales comission + variable administrative expense

Variable cost= 6.40 + 3.20 + 1.5 + 0.80 + 0.70= $12.60

C) Total variable cost= 12.60*9000=$113400

D) Contribution margin= Price - unitary variable cost

CM= 19.20 - 12.60= $6.6

E) 10,001 units are still is the relevant range. Therefore the incremental costs are the variable cost.

If it sells 1 unit more, the manufacturing cost will increase in the proportion of direct material, direct labor and variable manufacturing overhead.

6.40+3.2+1.5= $11.1

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is that the valuation would decrease total assets and stockholders’ equity by $101.00

Explanation:

Item             Cost                      Market price            Impact

Quantity

1 220 $ 4.40  $ 4.60        no impact as cost is lower

2 130 $ 6.20  $ 6.00 ($6.20-$6.00)* 130=$26

3 100 $ 10.00  $ 9.25 ($10-$9.25)*100    =$75

4 25 $ 20.50  $ 25.00 No impact as cost is lower

The total reduction in the value of inventory as a result of adopting the lower of cost or market price valuation is $101 ($75+$26),hence decreases total assets by $101 and the stockholders' equity(retained earnings which is a component of stockholders' equity ) by the same amount
