Answer:

The un levered beta ( bu) of the company is 1.52

Explanation:

Given information -

Equity  (E) - $20 million

Debt (D) - $5 million

Beta ( levered ) - 1.75

Tax rate ( T ) = 40%

D / E ( Debt to Equity ratio ) = $ 5 million / $20 million = .25

Formula for taking out un levered beta ( bu) is -

Beta levered ( bl ) = Beta un levered ( bu ) [1 + (1 - T ) D / E ]

1.75 = bu [1 + (1 - 40% ) .25

1.75 = bu [1 + .6 x .25 ]

1.75 = bu [ 1 + .15 ]

1.75 = bu [ 1.15 ]

bu = 1.75 / 1.15

bu = 1.52

Naddik [55]

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Number of Gallons Produced 80,000

Number of Gallons Sold 70,000

Sales Price $3.00/gallon

Unit Product Cost (variable costing) $1.45/gallon

Contribution Margin $84,000

Total Fixed Manufacturing Overhead $?

Total Fixed Selling & Administrative $25,000

Variable Selling & Administrative $?Total Fixed Selling & Administrative $25,000

Variable Selling & Administrative $?

Inventory value under absorption costing $29,500

T<u>he difference between the absorption and variable costing method is that the first one includes the fixed manufacturing overhead in the product cost.</u>

Absorption= direct material + direct labor + total unitary overhead

Variable=  direct material + direct labor + unitary variable overhead

First, we will calculate all the missing information:

Sales= 3*70,000= 210,000

Total variable cost= 210,000 - 84,000= 126,000

Unitary varaible cost= 126,000/70,000= $1.8 per unit

Unitary variable selling and administrative= 1.8 - 1.45= 0.35

Unitary inventory production cost (absorption)= 29,500/10,000= $2.95

Unitary fixed manufacturing cost= 2.95 - 1.45= 1.5

Now, we can determine the income statement under absorption and variable costing method:

A<u>bsorption costing:</u>

Sales= 210,000

COGS= 70,000*2.95= (206,500)

Gross profit= 3,500

Total Fixed Selling & Administrative= (25,000)

Variable Selling & Administrative= (0.35*70,000)=

Net operating income= (46,000)

<u>Variable costing method:</u>

Sales= 210,000

Total variable cost= (126,000)

Contribution margin= 84,000

Total Fixed Selling & Administrative= (25,000)

Total fixed manufacturing overhead= (80,000*1.5)= (120,000)

Net operating income= (61,000)

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

d.9.34%

Explanation:

The formula for the weighted average cost of capital is provided below as a starting point for solving this question:

WACC=(weight of equity*cost of equity)+(weight of debt*after-tax cost of debt)

weight of equity=1-debt %=1-50%=50%

weight of debt=50%

cost of equity=13.6%

after-tax cost of debt=7.8%*(1-35%)

after-tax cost of debt=5.07%

WACC=(50%*13.6%)+(50%*5.07%)

WACC=9.34%

The discount rate is computed based on the target or preferred capital structure
