Answer:

5.34%

The correct option is C,5.60%

Explanation:

The are two requirements here,the first is after cost of debt for the first part of the case study and after tax cost of debt for the second part of the scenario:

1.after tax cost of debt=pretax cost of debt*(1-t)

pretax cost of debt is 9.7%

t is the tax rate at 45% or 0.45

after tax cost of debt=9.7%*(1-0.45)=5.34%

2.

The pretax cost of debt here is computed using the rate formula in excel:

=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)

nper is the number of times the bond pays coupon interest which is 15

pmt is the annual coupon interest receivable by investors i.e $1000*12%=$120

pv is the current market price of the bond which is $1,136.50

fv is the face value of the bond at $1000

=rate(15,120,-1136.50,1000)

rate =10.19%

after tax cost of debt=10.19% *(1-0.45)=5.60%

mylen [45]

Answer:

$23.35

Explanation:

Units completed and transferred out = 7,700

WIP, Ending = 2,200 + 10,100 - 7,700 = 4,600. Conversion = 4,600*35% = 1,610

Equivalent unit of production = Units completed and transferred out + Conversion

Equivalent unit of production = 7,700 + 1,610

Equivalent unit of production = 9,310

Cost per equivalent unit = $8,600 + $208,800 / 9,310 units

Cost per equivalent unit = $217,400 / 9,310 units

Cost per equivalent unit = $23.351235231

Cost per equivalent unit = $23.35

k0ka [10]

Answer:

Follows are the solution to this question:

Explanation:

In point A-1:

Calculating the value of Incremental sales after tax:  

Further revenues= $414,000  

Recognize(Less)=Costs

Debt worth =$33,120  

Set Exp. = $17,400    

Production and commercialization cost= $314,640  

Pre-sales tax =$48,840.  

Lower: 35%   tax = $17,094  

Incremental tax income =$31,746

In point A-2:

Determine profits for extra expenditure  

Extra spending on debts = \frac{ \$ 414,000}{\$ 5}

                                         = \$ 82,800.

Return on the Expenditure = \frac{\$ 31746}{ \$ 82800}

                                             = 38.34 \%

In point A-3:

Yeah, For the Fast Turnstiles company must provide certain consumers with loans.

In point B-1:

Incremental taxes after-tax calculation:  

Further sales = $ 414,000    

Return: Costs  

gross debt= $45,540    

Set Exp = $17,400  

Cost for production and marketing = $314,640  

Net profits=$ 36,420  

Without tax 35% = $12,747  

Incremental tax revenue= $23,673    

In point B-2:    

Determine profits for extra expenditure  

Extra investment in debts = \frac{ \$ 414,000 }{ \$ 5}

                                             = \$ 82,800

Incremental return on that investment = \frac{\$ 23673}{\$ 82800}

                                                                   = 28.59 \%  

In point B-3:      

Yeah, The Fast Turnstiles company must provide to certain consumers to credit.

In point C-1:    

The incremental tax revenue estimate  

$414,000 = excess revenue  

Remember Costs

Debt worth= $ 33,120  

set Exp = $17,400    

Production and commercialization cost=  $314,640  

Pre- sales  tax = $48,840.  

Less: 35% Tax = $17,094  

Incremental tax income=  $31,746  

Calculate profits for extra expenditure  

Extra Accounting Investment = \frac{\$ 414000}{1.6}

                                                 = \$ 258750

Incremental Return= \frac{\$ 31,746} {\$ 258,750}

                                = 12.27 \%

In point C-2:

Yeah, its credit should be granted to all these consumers through Fast Turnstiles company limited.
