Explanation:

Complete Question:

Palencia Paints Corporation has a target capital structure of 35% debt and 65% common equity, with no preferred stock. Its before-tax cost of debt is 8%, and its marginal tax rate is 40%. The current stock price is P0=$22.00. The last dividend was D0=$2.25, and it is expected to grow at a 5% constant rate. What is its cost of common equity and its WACC?

Answer and Explanation:

First we have to calculate the cost of equity which shall be calculated as follows:

Cost of equity=D0(1+g)/P0+g

In the given question:

D0=$2.25

P0=$22.00

g=growth rate=5%

Cost of common equity=$2.25(1+5%)/$22.00+5%

                       =15.74%

Now we will calculate the WACC which shall be determined through following mentioned formula:

WACC=[Portion of Equity in capital structure*Cost of equity+Portion of Debt in capital structure*Post tax cost of debt]/Portion of Equity in capital structure+Portion of Debt in capital structure

WACC=[65%*15.74%+35%*(1-40%)*8%]/100%

WACC=11.91%

2014 ending inventory was overstated by $25,000, but it was too late to correct the financial statements. Which of the following
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

C. Net income and stockholders' equity are both overstated.

Explanation:

In the income statement , ending inventory is deducted from the addition of the beginning inventory and net purchases to arrive at the cost of goods sold. Therefore, the cost of goods can be stated as an equation stated as follows:

Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + Net purchases - Ending inventory

From the above equation, it can be observed that if the ending inventory is overstated, cost of goods sold will be understated by that amount.

Since gross income is determined by deducting cost of goods sold from the net sales, an understated cost of goods sold will result in an overstated gross income and subsequently overstated net income.

Since net income is one of the components of the stockholders' equity, an overstated net income will leads to an overstated stockholders' equity.

Therefore, the correct option is C. Net income and stockholders' equity are both overstated.
