tive cost (currently$270,000) has been allocated to services on this basis of billable hours toclients.

Answer:

The amount of administrative cost chargeable to tax planning services would decrease by $32,500

Note: Kindly find an attached copy of the complete question below

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

In this example, the total cost of administrative charged to tax planning services is given as =$270,000 * 55%

=$148,000

Now,

The activity based cost system is shown below:

Cost                 Amount           Cost driver          Consulting     Tax planning

Staff support  200,000      No of clients served     35%              65%

In house com-  

puting charges 50,000     Computers hrs logged   30%             70%

Misc office

Cost                   20,000         No of clients

                                               Transaction                  20%              80%

Total                  $270,000

Thus,

Activity                    Workings         Allocated to tax planning services

Staff support        200,000 * 65%             130,000

In house Comp-

uting Charges        50,000 * 70%              35,000

Misc office costs    20,000 * 80%              16,000

The total cost

allocated                                                       $181,000

So, the change in amount allocated to tax planning services under this system is = $181,000-$148,500

= $32,500

An industry is composed of 10 firms, all with equal sales. the four-firm concentration ratio in this industry is
Klio2033 [76]
The four-firm ratio is the concentration ratio between the total sales accumulated by the four largest industrial firms to the total sales of all firms present in an industry. This translates to the mathematical expression of 

           four-firm ratio = (total sales of four largest firms / total sales)

Since, we are given that all 10 firms have the same sales, we let the sales be equal to x.

    total sales of four largest firms = 4x
    total sales  = 10x

The ratio is then,
 
                   four-firm ratio = 4/10

Converting this to percentage will yield us an answer of 40%.

shutvik [7]

Answer:

28.63%

The computation of the cost of preferred stock is shown below:

Cost of the preferred stock = Dividend ÷ Price of the stock

where,

Dividend is

= $1,000 × $15%

= $150

And, the price of the stock is

= Market value of the stock - flotation cost

= $576 - $52

= $524

So, the cost of preferred stock is

= $150 ÷ $524

= 28.63%

We ignored the marginal tax rate i.e 40%
