Answer: E) If a firm's stock price is quite high relative to most stocks--say $500 per share--then it can declare a stock split of say 20-for-1 so as to bring the price down to something close to $25. Moreover, if the price is relatively low--say $2 per share--then it can declare a "reverse split" of say 1-for-10 so as to bring the price up to somewhere around $20 per share.

Explanation:

Stock Splits usually occur when a company believes that its stock price is relatively high compared to most other stocks.

If the stock is $500 per share, a stock split of 20-1 would divide the stock so that it comes to;

=500/20

= $25 per share.

If the company believes that prices are too low, they can do a <em>reverse split</em> or a <em>stock merge</em> to bring the price up by merging stocks together. If Stock is trading at $2 per share, a 1 - 10 would take it up to;

= 2 * 10

= $20 per share.

The weight of the common stock as it relates to the firm's weighted average cost of capital is <u>35%</u>.

<h3>What is the weighted average cost of capital?</h3>

The weighted average cost of capital computes a firm's cost of capital based on the firm's average cost of capital from all sources: common stock, preferred stock, bonds, and other forms of debt.

The weight of the common stock can be determined by dividing the common stock market value by the total capitalization from all sources.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Outstanding:

Bonds payable = $1,590,000 (1,500 x $1,060)

Preferred stock = $160,000 (5,000 x $32)

Common stock = $936,000 (36,000 x $26)

Total debts and equity = $2,686,000

Weight of common stock = 35% ($936,000/$2,686,000 x 100)

Thus, the weight of the common stock as it relates to the firm's weighted average cost of capital is <u>35%</u>.

A manager invests $20,000 in equipment that would help the company reduce it's per unit costs from $15 to $12. He expects the eq

Since the cost of $20,000 has been incurred two years ago, the firm should check and see as to how many units of the product were produced in the two years. Did the firm produce enough items to break even the cost of acquisition. Additionally the business should also check the current market value of this two year old equipment. The business manager should weigh in the savings that is to be obtained from outsourcing along with the resale value of the old machine and then take a declension as to whether the company should go for outsourcing. Also, the business manager must examine whether the outsourcing can happen for the long run. This is because two years down the line, outsourcing may have increased the cost and again another process may look attractive. So a through cost benefit analysis should be made before taking a decision.
