Answer:

C) 11.12 percent

Explanation:

<u>We are asked to calculate the WACC with preferred stock</u>

WACC = K_e(\frac{E}{E+P+D}) + K_p(\frac{P}{E+P+D}) + K_d(1-t)(\frac{D}{E+P+D})

Ke = cost of capital =       0.16

Equity weight 0.50

Kp = cost of preferred=         0.12

Preferred Weight 0.10

Kd = cost of debt = 0.08

Debt Weight 0.40

t = tax rate 0.40

WACC = 0.16(0.5) + 0.12(0.1) + 0.08(1-0.4)(0.4)

WACC 11.12000%

Q 6.26: Early in 2022, Baker Company switched to a JIT (just-in-time) inventory system. Financial information for the two most r
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Incomplete question.

Explanation:

Now that using different inventory systems would result in a different value of the inventory.

For example, the JIT (just in time) system implies that the company request inventory just in time when they are needed for production or supply. It therefore means that the value of their inventory level using this method should be lesser, since Baker Company would only receive inventory of what it wants to utilize immediately.

1. What is the revised net operating income if unit sales increase by 16%? 2. What is the revised net operating income if the se
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

1) NOI = $90,240

2) NOI = 29,250

3) NOI = 133,260

4) NOI = 110,190

Explanation:

<em>The question is incomplete.</em>

<em />

<em>Sales (38,000 units)      $342,000     ($9.00 per unit)</em>

<em>Variable expenses        $228,000     ($6.00 per unit)</em>

<em>Contribution margin        $114,000     ($3.00 per unit)</em>

<em>Fixed expenses                $42,000 </em>

<em>Net operating income      $72,000</em>

1. What is the revised net operating income if unit sales increase by 16%

If unit sales increase, we can calculate this with a 16% increase in the contribution margin.

NOI=CM*(1+0.16)-FE=114,000*1.16-42,000=132,240-42,000\\\\NOI=90,240

2. What is the revised net operating income if the selling price decreases by $1.50 per unit and the number of units sold increases by 25%?

A reduction of $1.50 in price means a reduction of the same amount in the contribution margin per unit (CMu), as the variable expenses stay the same .

Also, the contribution margin increases by 25%, for the increase in units sold (q).

NOI=CM_u*q-FE=(3.00-1.50)*(38,000*1.25)-42,000\\\\NOI=1.5*47,500-42,000=71,250-42,000\\\\NOI=29,250

3. What is the revised net operating income if the selling price increases by $1.50 per unit, fixed expenses increase by $6,000, and the number of units sold decreases by 6%?

The selliing price will be added to the contribution margin per unit.

The units sold are increased 6%.

NOI=CMu*q-FE=(3.00+1.50)*38,000*1.06-(42,000+6,000)\\\\NOI=4.5*40,280-48,000=181,260-48,000\\\\NOI=133,260

4. What is the revised net operating income if the selling price per unit increases by 20%, variable expenses increase by 30 cents per unit, and the number of units sold decreases by 11%?

The contribution margin per unit, with a increase in price and an increase in variable cost, becomes:

CM_u=P-VE_u=9.00*(1.20)-(6.00+0.30)=10.80-6.30=4.50

The units sold is now:

q'=(1-0.11)q=0.89q=0.89*38,000=33,820

Then, the net operating income becomes:

NOI=CM_u*q-FE=4.5*33,820-42,000=152,190-42,000\\\\NOI=110,190

Identify the correct pricing strategy. Incorporating _______ pricing strategy drives customers to pay a higher price for a valua
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

Premium, value

Explanation:

Premium Pricing Strategy: this a strategy used by companies to drive up the prices for their products. This strategy is used when customers can be convinced that a company will offer a higher value than its competitors.

For example, looking at the prices of a Rolls Royce Phantom and a Toyota, one costs $450,000 and the other costs $25,000, both will take you from your office to your house, but some customers will prefer to buy the Rolls Royce, this is because of the value the Rolls Royce offers.

Value: this is the worth or usefulness of something. Therefore, if a company can offer value for money, customers will be willing to pay.
