Answer:

21.45%

Explanation:

Pearson motors has a target capital structure of 45% debt and 55% common equity

The yield to maturity is 10%

Tax rate is 40%

WACC is 14.50%

First of all we have to find the tax cost of debt

Tax cost of debt= Yield to maturity×(1-tax rate)

= 8×(1-25/100)

= 8×(1-0.25)

= 8×0.75

= 6%

The next step is to calculate the common equity

Therefore, the common equity can be calculated as follows

WACC= Respective cost×Respective weight

14.50= (6×0.45)+(0.55×common equity)

14.50= 2.7+(0.55×common equity)

14.50-2.7= (0.55×common equity)

11.8= (0.55×common equity)

Common equity= 11.8/0.55

Common equity= 21.45%

Hence Pearson's cost of common equity is 21.45%

Orlov [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

                                                Last year           Current year

Selling Price                      10                         10

Varaible Price                5                         6

Contribution Margin               5                               4

Break even is the point where total cost is equal to total revenue mean no profit and loss.

company earns the contribution margin after covering the variable cost, now only fix cost remains for break even.

Break Even using FIFO method :  first In first out system

Fix Cost                                                                            =     86000

contribution from opening units(6000*5)                            =     30000

Remaining Fix cost that should be Covered from

current year products                                                            =     56000

 

Units to be sold for break-even ( 56000/4)   = 14000

so we have break even units   6000+14000 = 20000

Fix cost                              = -86000

Opening 6000*5              = 30000

Current   14000*4             = 56000

Profit                                   = 0

Break Even using LIFO method : Last in first out

Fix Cost                                                                            =     86000

Break even =  Fix Cost / Contribution margin

Break even =  86000/4 =21500

current production is 24000 which is higher than break even units so we can cover the fix cost from current year production because company is using lifo method. we do not need opening units for the break even.

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Profit is Maximize when MR = MC

since MR=40 - 0.5Q

and  MC= 4

Therefore:

40-0.5Q = 4

-0.5Q = 4 - 40

-0.5Q= -36

divide through by -0.5

Q = 72

since Q = 72

from Q = 160 - 4p

72 = 160 - 4P

-4p = 72 - 160

-4P = -88

divide through by -4

P = 22
