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%

Kimberly-Clark developed its Avert Virucidal tissues that contained vitamin C derivatives, which were scientifically designed to
mezya [45]

Answer:

E) incomplete market and product protocol.

Explanation:

Kimberly-Clark's Avert Virucidal failed in test marketing, because the researchers in charge of product development  failed to clearly define how it would satisfy consumers' wants and needs. The idea itself wasn't bad, but the concept testing was poorly done. During concept testing, the marketing researchers must determine if the consumers understand the product's idea or not, and obviously that didn't happen. The product does satisfy consumers' needs and if the marketing process was properly done, they would have probably accepted the product.

Papessa [141]

Answer:

Total overhead rate =  $34.17  per machine hour

Explanation:

The total overhead rate would  the sum of the variable overhead rate and the fixed overhead rate

<em>The pre-determined fixed overhead absorption rate = Estimated fixed overhead /Estimated machine hours </em>

<em>DATA:</em>

<em>Estimated overhead       - $256,500.</em>

<em>Estimated machine hours -  10,000 machine hours</em>

The pre-determined fixed overhead absorption rate =

$256,500/ 10,000 machine hours = 25.65  per hour

<em>The pre-determined overhead absorption rate = $25.65  per hour</em>

Total overhead rate = Variable rate + Fixed rate

                                 = $8.52 +  $25.65 = $34.17

Total overhead rate =  $34.17  per machine hour

On October 1, 2018, Iona Frisbee Co. issued stock options for 300,000 shares to a division manager. The options have an estimate
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

$300,000

Explanation:

Option expenses to be recognized in the first year ,

= \frac{N\ *\ FV}{Total\ vesting\ period}    ×  period elapsed   - Expenses already recognized

wherein N = No of options expected to be vested

              FV = Fair value on the grant date

              Vesting period = The time period after which the options can be exercised

Thus, after the first year, employee compensation expenses to be recognized

= \frac{300000 *\ 3}{3\ years} × 1 year = $300,000 - 0 = $300,000

Similarly, for the second year, option expenses to be recognized would be,

= \frac{300000 *\ 3}{3\ years}  × 2 years - $300,000 =  $300,000

Similarly for the third year

= \frac{300000 *\ 3}{3\ years} × 3 years - ($300,000+ 300,000)  = $300,000

The journal entry to be passed each year would be

Stock Option Compensation Expense A/C   Dr. $300,000

                           To Stock Options A/C                        $300000  

(Being stock option expenses for the year recognized)
