Answer:
E) standard deviation of the company's common stock
Explanation:
The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is dependent on cost of equity and cost of debt. Cost of Equity depends on company's beta (CAPM Model), growth rate of dividends (constant growth dividend discount model), so option A and C are not the answer. Cost of debt depends on coupon rate (for yield) as well as marginal tax rate (for post tax cost of debt) so option B and D are incorrect. So, answer is E. Standard deviation is the least probable factor that may cause change in WACC.
Answer: a. a credit to Accounts Payable.
Explanation:
When paying off a note, cash will be used so cash will have to be credited to show that it is decreasing.
Interest expense will be debited by the interest accumulated on the loan because expenses are debited when they increase.
Notes Payable will be debited to show that the note has now been retired.
There is no credit for Accounts payable involved in this transaction.

Answer: $3,150,000
Explanation:
Total cost of production will be the total sum of the material costs, labor costs and indirect costs.
Indirect Costs
It was estimated that 12,000 machine hours would be used at a cost of $60 million.
Indirect cost per machine hour is;
= 60,000,000/12,000
= $5,000 per hour
With 200 machine hours, indirect cost is;
= 200 * 5,000
= $1,000,000
Total cost of production = 1,250,000 + 900,000 + 1,000,000
= $3,150,000
Answer:
7.44 %
Explanation:
The Yield to Maturity (YTM) is the Interest rate that makes the Present Value of Coupons and Principle equal the Market Price or Current Price of the Bond.
The Yield to Maturity can be calculated using a financial calculator as follows :
PV = - $100
N = (15 -2) × 2 = 26
PMT = ($100 × 7.30%) ÷ 2 = $3.65
FV = $103
P/YR = 2
YTM = ?
Therefore, Inputting the values in the calculator as shown gives the Yield to Maturity is 7.44 %.
