Answer:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $23.973 per machine-hour.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated total machine-hours= 15,000
The estimated variable manufacturing overhead was $7.36 per machine-hour.
The estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead was $249,200.
To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= (249,200/15,000) + 7.36
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $23.973 per machine-hour.
Strategic aliance is collaborative relationship between independent firms. Though this relationship the partnering firms do not invest in one another, which means <span>do not create an equity partnership</span>
<span>Example is when Cisco systems inc. of San Jose, California, and Tata consultancy services of Mumbai, India, entered into their strategic aliance. They both continued to develop market-ready infrastructure and network solutions for customers, but they relied on each other to provide the training and skills that one or the other might have lacked.</span>
Answer: 9.7%
Explanation:
Given Data
Rf = Risk free return = 6%,
Rpm = Risk premium = 4%,
Beta = 0.9
Wd = Debt = 20%
rd = cost of debt = 8%
We = equity = 80%
Re = Rf + Beta (Rpm)
= 0.06 +0.9 (0.04)
= 0.096 * 100
= 9.6%
Unlevered Equity Cost ;
ReU= Wd × rd + We × re
= 0.20 × 8% + 0.80 × 9.6%
= 9.28%
Levered Equity Cost:
New Debt = 60%,
New Equity = 40%,
New rd = 9%
ReL = ReU + (ReU - rd) (D ÷ E)
= 9.28% + (9.28% - 9%) (0.60 ÷ 0.40)
= 0.097 * 100
= 9.7%
