Answer:

A farmer is the one that owns the cattle and is ready to sell it on the market demand, while the meatpacker is the one who buys the product and sells it in different parts to the end consumers.

Since they both are using the commodity market to reduce the risk, the farmer will be the one who agrees to sell the cattle in the future at a fixed rate, while the meatpacker will be the one who agrees to buy the cattle in the future at a specified price fixed by him.

Hope this helps. ThankYou.

Manufacturing Cost per bottle         $ 67

Purchasing Cost per bottle                                  $35

Freight per bottle                                                  $ 5

<u>Fixed Costs                                                            $ 22   </u>

<u>Total                                                   $ 67              $62   </u>

The fixed costs are the irrelevant costs that will continue whether bottles are manufactured or purchased.

PAW Industries has 5 million shares of common stock outstanding with a market price of $8.00 per share. The company also has out
Leokris [45]

Answer:

a. 10.14%

Explanation:

WACC = wE*rE + wP*rP + wD*rD(1-tax)     whereby;

w= weight of...

r = cost of..

Find the market values;

Common equity(E) = 5,000,000* 8 = 40,000,000

Preferred stock(P) = 10,000,000

Debt (D) = 100,000 *1000 *0.96 = 96,000,000

Total value = 146,000,000

Therefore;

wE= 0.2740

wP = 0.0685

wD = 0.6575

Cost of capital;

rE = 19% or 0.19

rP = 15% or 0.15

rD = 9% or 0.09

WACC = (0.2740*0.19) + (0.0685 * 0.15) + [0.6575*0.09(1-0.34)]

WACC = 0.0521 + 0.0103 + 0.0391

WACC = 0.1015 or about 10.14%
