Multiple Choice

$6,600 less than under absorption costing.

$7,680 less than under absorption costing.

the same as absorption costing.

$7,680 greater than under absorption costing.

Answer:

The Southern Corporation

The carrying value on the balance sheet of the ending inventory of finished goods under variable costing would be:

$6,600 less than under absorption costing.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Variable costs per unit:

Production $ 35

Selling and administrative $ 14

Fixed costs per year:

Production $ 175,560

Selling and administrative $ 140,450

Production units last year = 7,980 units

Sales units last year = 7,680 units

Ending inventory = 300 (7,980 - 7,680) units

Value of Ending inventory:

1. Variable Costing:

Production $ 35 * 300 = $10,500

2. Absorption Costing:

Variable Production $ 35 * 7,980 = $279,300

Fixed Production overhead $ 175,560

Total production costs = $454,860

Units produced = 7,980

Unit cost = $57

Ending inventory = $17,100 ($57 * 300)

Difference = $6,600 ($17,100 - $10,500)

given data

assets = $720,000

debt to total capital ratio = 40%

to find out

How much must the firm borrow to achieve the target debt ratio

solution

we get here debt here by Debt to Total capital ratio that is express as

Debt to Total capital ratio = Debt ÷ ( Debt + Equity ) ....................1

put here value we get debt

0.40 = $\frac{debt}{720000}$

debt = $288000

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer: E - The technology which the company is considering adopting was recently developed and has not yet been successfully implemented in a real business context.

Explanation: the company would be able to recover the cost of adoption of the new technology . This strengthens the argument that the upgrade should take place.

The new technology would improve cost of production and efficiency. This strengthens the argument that the upgrade takes place.

Because the upgrade hasn't been successfully tested, it might have an unintended negative impact which would erode all the benefits of the upgrade

Viserion, Inc., is trying to determine its cost of debt. The firm has a debt issue outstanding with 25 years to maturity that is

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Pretax = 5.61%

After tax = 4.26%

Explanation:

The cost of debt will be the Yield to maturity of the bonds.

91 = present values of the 25 year annuity + present value of the maturity

There is no formula for exact YTM

we can either use excel or calculate by approximation:

In this case we will calcualte the YTM by aprroximation

$YTM = 2\times (\frac{C + \frac{F-P}{n }}{\frac{F+P}{2}})$

C= 25 cuopon payment 1,000 x 5% / 2 becayse paymenr are semiannually

F= 1000 the face value is 1,000

P= 910 the present value or market value is 91% of the face value

n= 50 25 year at 2 payment per year

$YTM = 2 \times (\frac{25 + \frac{1000-910}{50 }}{\frac{1000+910}{2}})$

dividend 26.8

divisor 955

YTM 5.6125654%

This will be the pretax cost of debt

then we calculate the after tax cost of debt

pre-tax cost of debt ( 1 - t ) = after-tax

5.61% ( 1 - .24 ) = 4,2636
