Answer:
The correct answer is option (b) $5400
Explanation:
Solution
Calculation of the cost of direct material on May 1
Now,
The starting work In process inventory = Direct materials Cost + Direct labor Cost + Manufacturing overhead applied on W.I.P
13,500 = Direct materials cost + 4500 + 3600
Thus,
Direct material cost = 13500 - 4500-3600 = $5400
Note: Direct labor cost = 300 * 15 = $ 4500
The manufacturing overhead = 300 hour * $12 = $ 3600
So, only expenses associated to work in process will be considered, hence only direct labor and manufacturing overhead are used to work in process are considered.
Answer:
Leasing.
Explanation:
Find the present value of each and compare and choose the one with the lowest cost in present value terms.
<u>LEASE;</u>
Payments are in form of an annuity ;done using financial calculator (TI BA II plus)
PMT = -30,000
N ;duration = 4
I/Y = 10%
FV = 0
then CPT PV = -$95,095.96
<u>BUY</u>
Initial cost; (already in present value terms) = -$80,000
Annual maintenance(is an annuity); done using financial calculator (TI BA II plus)
PMT = -10,000
N ;duration = 4
I/Y = 10%
FV = 0
then CPT PV = -$31,698.65
Add PV of salvage value;
PV = FV/ (1+r)^4
PV = 20,000 /(1.10^4)
= 20,000/ 1.4641
= $13,660.26911
Overall PV of BUYING = (-80,000 -31,698.65 + 13,660.26911) = -$98,038.38
Therefore, leasing is a better option since the overall present value of costs is lower at $95,095.96 compared to that of buying at 98,038.38.
Answer:
Decreasing taxes would result in a loss of money from government funded organizations and other government jobs. There would be a lower budget for public schools and the salaries of police forces, post offices, and teachers would be forced to be cut. However, this would also raise economic activity, increasing people's ability to buy and coontribute more to the flow of money.
Explanation:
Answer:
8.15 %
Explanation:
Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) is the business Cost of permanent sources of finance pooled together. It shows the risk of the business and is used to evaluate projects.
WACC = Cost of Equity x Weight of Equity + Cost of Preferred Stock x Weight of Preferred Stock + Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt
<u>Remember to use the After tax cost of debt :</u>
After tax cost of debt = Interest x ( 1 - tax rate)
= 6.50% x (1 - 0.40)
= 3.90 %
therefore,
WACC = 11.25% x 55% + 6.00% x 10% + 3.90 % x 35%
= 8.15 %
Thus,
Quigley's WACC is closest to 8.15 %.
