Answer:

price variance 3,940 U

quantity variance 2,800 F

Explanation:

DIRECT MATERIALS VARIANCES

$(standard\:cost-actual\:cost) \times actual \: quantity= DM \: price \: variance$

std cost $7.00

actual cost $7.10

quantity 39,400

$(7 - 7.10) \times 39,400 = DM \: price \: variance$

difference $(0.10)

price variance $(3,940.00)

The difference between std cost and actual cost is negative, we purchased at a higher cost. the variance is unfavorable.

$(standard\:quantity-actual\:quantity) \times standard \: cost = DM \: quantity \: variance$

std quantity 39,000.00 (7,800 manufactured units x 5 lbs per unit)

actual quantity 39,400.00

std cost $ 7.00

$(39,000 - 39,400) \times 7 = DM \: quantity \: variance$

difference -400.00

quantity variance $ (2,800.00)

We used more lbs than our standard for the output. This means we are not efficient in the use of materials. this variance is unfavorable as well

C. will generally equal the cost of preferred if the tax rate is zero.

The correct answer is E. has a greater effect on a firm's cost of capital when the debt-equity ratio increases.

Explanation:

The cost of debt refers to the effective rate that a company pays for its current debt. In most cases, this phrase refers to the after-tax cost of debt, but it also refers to the cost of a company's debt before taxes are taken into account. The difference in the cost of debt before and after taxes lies in the fact that interest expenses are deductible.

The cost of debt is a part of a company's capital structure, which also includes the cost of capital. A company can use various bonds, loans and other forms of debt, so this measure is useful to give an idea of the overall rate the company pays for its debt. The measure can also give investors an idea of the company's risk compared to others, because riskier companies generally have a higher cost of debt.
