Answer:

28.63%

Explanation:

The computation of the cost of preferred stock is shown below:

Cost of the preferred stock = Dividend ÷ Price of the stock

where,

Dividend is

= $1,000 × $15%

= $150

And, the price of the stock is

= Market value of the stock - flotation cost

= $576 - $52

= $524

So, the cost of preferred stock is

= $150 ÷ $524

= 28.63%

We ignored the marginal tax rate i.e 40%

myrzilka [38]

Cost of equity capital is closest to: 16 percent

Solution:

WACC is covered on page 120 Corporate Finance, under Capital Structure.

Using the standard equation for WACC = %wt Equity x cost of equity (re) + %wt Debt x cost of debt (rd).

Since there is a 20% tax rate for the firm, the cost of borrowing is reduced by that amount. So the cost of debt is 4%, not 5%.

Plug the formula: 10% = 50% x re + 50% x 4%

The formula ( i.e. 0.1+(0.1-0.05)(1)(1-0.2)) in CFAI reading is questionable.

The calculation is 0.1+(0.1-0.05*(1-0.2))*(1)=16%

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Total manufacturing cost will be $291500

Explanation:

We have given work in progress inventory on December 31 of current year is $44000

It is given that work in progress inventory is increased by 60% during the year

So in beginning work in progress inventory =\frac{44000}{1.6}=27500 $

We have given cost of goods manufactured = $275000

Cost of goods manufactured = work in progress inventory + total manufacturing costs incurred - Ending work in progress inventory

So 275000 = 27500 + total manufacturing costs incurred  - 44000

Total manufacturing costs incurred = 275000 - 27500 +44000 = $291500
