Answer:
d. decrease the firm's WACC.
Explanation:
As per WACC formula
WACC = ( Weight of Common Equity x Cost of Common Equity ) + ( Weight of Common Debt x Cost of Common Debt x ( 1 - Tax rate ) ) + ( Weight of Preferred Equity x Cost of Preferred Equity )
By assuming the values to prove the answer
Weights
Common equity = 55%
Preferred Equity = 15%
Debt = 30%
Costs
Common equity = 15%
Preferred Equity = 8%
Debt = 12%
Tax rate is 15%
Placing values in the formula
WACC = ( 55% x 15% ) + ( 30% x 12% x ( 1 - 15% ) ) + ( 15% x 8% )
WACC = 8.25% + 3.06% + 1.2% = 12.51%
Keeping others values constant, Now increase the Tax rate to 25% and placing vlaues in the formula
WACC = ( 55% x 15% ) + ( 30% x 12% x ( 1 - 25% ) ) + ( 15% x 8% )
WACC = 8.25% + 2.7 + 1.2% = 12.15%
Hence the WACC is decreased from 12.51% to 12.15% when the tax rate is increased from 15% to 25% keeping other values constant.
Answer:
The correct answer is B.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Budgeted production TX500
May 20,000
June 32,000
July 39,000
August 46,000
TX500 should have 40% of next months sales in ending Inventory. On May 1, there were 9,000 units of TX500.
Production for June:
Sales= 32,000 units
Ending inventory= (39,000*0.40)= 15,600
Beginning inventory= (32,000*0.4)= 12,800 (-)
Total= 34,800 units
Answer:
Fixed overhead application rate
= <u>Budgeted fixed overhead</u>
Budgeted direct labour hours
= <u>$114,000</u>
60,000 hrs
= $1.90 per direct labour hour
Amount of overhead applied to job X387: $
Variable overhead $4.90 x 170 hours = 833
Fixed overhead $1.90 x 170 hours = 323
1,156
Explanation:
In this case, there is need to calculate the fixed overhead application rate based on direct labour hours by dividing the the budgeted fixed overhead by budgeted direct labour hours. Then, we will calculate the overhead applied to Job X387 by multiplying the fixed and variable application rate by actual direct labour hours of 170 hours.
