Answer:

Cost of equity is 30.33%

Explanation:

A required return on assets of 14% means that a company requires a minimum acceptable rate of return of 14% at any investment which must yield the said return for its investors or for the resources/assets invested therein. We may use this return as the Company's Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC).

WACC formula:

WACC = ((Weight of debt financing) * (after tax cost of debt)) + ((Weight of equity financing) * (cost of equity))

Substituting the values, we get "X" as the weighted cost of equity (assuming no taxes as stated in the problem):

14% = (70%*7%) + X

14% = 4.900% + X

X = 9.100%

To get the cost of equity, we substitute the values for the following formula of the weighted cost of equity to get "X" as the cost of equity:

Weighted cost of equity = Weight of equity financing * cost of equity

9.100% = 30% * X

X = 30.33%

Cost of equity is 30.33%

First, we need to get the cost of retail ratio. the formula is 
 Cost to Retail ratio= Cost/ Retail
           261,000
CRR= -------------   =   0.58
           450,000

                                                              Cost             Retail
Cost of Goods Available for Sale    $261,000        $450,000
- Sales                                                                        $200,000
                                                                                  ------------------
Ending Inventory                                                        $250,000
x Cost to Retail Ratio                                                           .58
                                                                                  ------------------
Ending Inventory                                                       $145,000

Which of the following statements is true concerning income if manufacturing production exceeds units sold?A higher operating in
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

A higher operating income will result under absorption costing

Explanation:

If manufacturing production exceeds units sold there will be an increase in inventory and increases in inventory cause income to be higher under absorption costing  than under variable costing.

Under variable costing, as its name suggests, only variable production costs are assigned to inventory and cost of goods sold.  

Under absorption costing, normal manufacturing costs are considered product costs and included in inventory.

<em>Recognize that a reduction in inventory during a period will cause the opposite effect. </em>

<em>Specifically, a portion of the contents of the beginning inventory would be transferred to expense commensurate with the decrease in inventory. </em>

<em>Since the inventory contains less under variable costing, expect expenses to be lower and income to be higher.</em>
