The official rate overstate the actual unemployment rate because it is hard to ascertain how many people are a part of the labor force.

Explanation:

The unemployment rate is computed by measuring the percentage of those who are available in the labor force but remain unemployed.

The unemployment data is thus found out monthly, this also makes it difficult to define the labor force every month as it can fluctuate due to the reasons people have for not seeking jobs at a certain point of time.

Number of unemployed is divided by the number in the labor force to find the unemployment rate but the faulty measures mean that it is hard to ascertain which data is correct.

Targaryen Corporation has a target capital structure of 65 percent common stock, 5 percent preferred stock, and 30 percent debt.
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

  • a. What is the company’s WACC?

R_Wacc =  13% (65%) + 5% (5%) + 6% (30%) * (1-0,25) =  10,05%

  • b. What is the aftertax cost of debt?

The aftertax cost of debt is:    

R_Debt :  (1 - 0,25) x 6% = 4,50%

Explanation:

The WACC it's defined by the formula :

WACC: E/V*Re + D/V*Rd *(1-0,25)

Re:   13,00%  Cost of Common Equity    

Re:   5,00%  Cost of Preferred STOCK  

Re:   6%     Cost of Debt  

E/V:   65%   Percentage of financing that is Common Equity  

PS/V:   5%     Percentage of financing that is Preferred Stock  

DB/V:   30%    Percentage of financing that is Debt  

Tax:  25%    Corporate tax rate  

Now we have all of the components to calculate the WACC.

The WACC is:      

R_Wacc =  13% (65%) + 5% (5%) + 6% (30%)*(1-0,25) =  10,05%  

The aftertax cost of debt is:    

R_Debt :  (1 - 0,25) x 6% = 4,50%

A company's scope defines the products and markets on which it will concentrate.True or false?
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

The statement is: True.

Explanation:

A company's scope determines which sector of the market they will focus on and in what product specifically. For new businesses, it is recommended to engage in the production of one service only so the company can have enough control of it but the organization's goal should be to diversify as long as the firm grows and starts earning stable revenues.

Fed [463]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Each unit of output requires 0.52 direct labor-hours. The direct labor rate is $9.00 per direct labor-hour. The production budget calls for producing 1,700 units in April and 1,600 units in May. The company is committed to paying its direct labor workforce for at least 960 hours a month.

We need to calculate the total number of hours required each month.

April:

Direct labor hours= 1,700 units* 0.52= 884 hours

Total cost= 960 hours*$9= $8,640

May:

Direct labor hours= 1,600 units* 0.52= 832 hours

Total cost= 960 hours*$9= $8,640

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

$1,350.

Explanation:

Concepts and reason

Job order Costing: It is a method of cost accounting, in which cost is collected and accumulated for each job, work order, or project separately. Especially the job order costing is followed in organizations where customized goods are produced.  

Direct materials: Direct materials are the raw materials which are directly related with the production of the goods.

Direct labor cost: The labor cost includes the wages or salaries paid to employees who physically produce goods or services.

Overhead costs: The costs, which do not relate directly with the manufacturing of products, are referred to as overhead costs or indirect costs.

Fundamentals

Total job cost is the total of total direct material cost, total direct labor cost and total overhead cost.

The formula to calculate the total cost for job is shown below:

Total cost for job = {Total direct material cost +

                                    Total direct labor cost+

                                 Total overhead cost}

Total overhead cost is calculated by multiply total direct labor cost with percentage of direct labor cost.  

The formula to calculate the total overhead cost is shown below:

Totaloverheadcost=   ​(Totaldirectlaborcost

                               ×Percentageofdirectlaborcost )

​    

Calculate total direct labor cost:

Totaldirectlaborcost = (  DocumentW3393

                                       +DocumentW3479

                                       +DocumentW3559 )

  =$600+$450+$300

=$1,350

Therefore, the total direct labor cost is $1,350.

inconclusion:

​ It is mentioned to calculate the total cost on the job cost sheet for Job 9-1005. Thus, it is calculated on the basis of total direct labor cost. Total direct labor cost is the total of all the direct labor cost incurred for the completion of the job. Here, labor costs of document W3393 are $600; document W3479 is $450 and document W3559 is $300. So, total direct labor cost is $1,350.
