Firm M's earnings and stock price tend to move up and down with other firms in the S&P 500, while Firm W's earnings and stoc

k price move counter cyclically with M and other S&P companies. Both M and W estimate their costs of equity using the CAPM, they have identical market values, their standard deviations of returns are identical, and they both finance only with common equity. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
a. M and W should have identical WACCs because their risks as measured by the standard deviation of returns are identical.
b. M should have the lower WACC because it is like most other companies, and investors like that fact.
c. If M and W merge, then the merged firm MW should have a WACC that is a simple average of M's and W's WACCs.
d. Without additional information, it is impossible to predict what the merged firm's WACC would be if M and W merged.
e. Since M and W move counter cyclically to one another, if they merged, the merged firm's WACC would be less than the simple average of the two firms' WACCs.

xenn [34]

Answer:

41 percent

Explanation:

Given : Budgeted Sales $112,900,000

            Fixed Costs $25,000,000

            Variable Costs $66,611,000

Contribution margin =  Net Sales - Variable costs

                                  = $112,900,000 - $66,611,000

                                  = $ 46,289,000

Contribution Margin Ratio = \frac{Contribution\ Margin}{Net\ Sales}  = \frac{46289000}{112900000} =  41%

Contribution margin ratio indicates the percentage of sales remaining so as to cover a firm's fixed expenses. It also represents how much percentage of sales is required to cover the variable costs.

It is also expressed as , 100 - Variable cost ratio (in percentage)
