Answer:

WACC = 0.1018 or 10.18%

Explanation:

The WACC or Weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure that can be made of one or all of the following components namely debt, preferred stock and common equity.

The formula to calculate is as follows,

WACC = wD * tD * (1- tax rate)  +  wP * rP  +  wE * rE

Where,

  • w represents the weight of each component in capital structure
  • r represents the cost of each component
  • D, P and E represents debt, preferred stock and Common Equity respectively.

Cost of bond = 7%

Cost of preferred stock = 4/40  =  10%

<u>Cost of Common Equity : </u>

25 = 2  / (r - 0.07)

25 * (r - 0.07) = 2

25r - 1.75 = 2

25r = 2 + 1.75

r = 3.75 / 25

r = 0.15 or 15%

WACC = 0.4 * 0.07 * (1 - 0.4)  +  0.1 * 0.1  +  0.5 * 0.15

WACC = 0.1018 or 10.18%

A recent study conducted by Estelle Cosmetics Company showed that heavy users of Estelle's products comprise a small percentage
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer: Segmentation by usage

Explanation: Segmentation by usage splits customers according to how often they use a product. Using segmentation by usage, customers can be classified into non - users, who don't use the product at all, light and medium users, who can range from little usage of the product to average use of the product, and heavy users, who mostly use these products.

From thr first paragraph it is clear that usage segmentation is used to separate the user's into different classes based on their usage, and identify which class to target when it comes to sales. At Estelle Cosmetics Company, it was deduced that of this company's total sales, less than 7% of this market are heavy users. These users purchase nearly 71% of the company's products. This company will probably focus their marketing efforts on the heavy users, as they contribute to the majority of sales within their company.

First, we need to get the cost of retail ratio. the formula is 
 Cost to Retail ratio= Cost/ Retail
           261,000
CRR= -------------   =   0.58
           450,000

                                                              Cost             Retail
Cost of Goods Available for Sale    $261,000        $450,000
- Sales                                                                        $200,000
                                                                                  ------------------
Ending Inventory                                                        $250,000
x Cost to Retail Ratio                                                           .58
