Answer:

The WACC is 13.37%

Explanation:

The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure. The capital structure is made up of debt, preferred stock and common stock. In this question, there are only two components present in the capital structure i.e. debt and common stock.

The formula for WACC is,

WACC = wD * rD * (1 - tax rate)  +  wE * rE

Where,

  • w represents the weight of each component in the capital structure or value of each component as a proportion of total assets
  • r represents the cost of each component
  • we take after tax cost of debt. So we multiply cost of debt by (1 - tax rate)

We first need to determine the cost of equity using the CAPM,

rE = 0.05 + 1.25 * 0.07   =  0.1375 or 13.75%

We know that assets = debt + equity

Assets = (0.95 * 10)  +  (2.8 * 50)

Assets = 9.5  +  140  

Assets = 149.5 million

The WACC for ABC is:

WACC = 9.5/149.5  *  0.12  *  (1 - 0.35)  +  140/149.5  *  0.1375

WACC = 0.1337 or 13.37%

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

$231,140

Explanation:

The computation of the amount reported in the cost of goods sold is shown  below:

= Number of pool cues sold × total manufacturing cost per pool cue

where,

Number of pool cues sold would be 26,000 pool cues

And, the total manufacturing cost per pool cue would be

= Direct Materials per cue + Direct manufacturing Labor per cue + Manufacturing Overhead per cue

= $2 + $6 + $0.89

= $8.89

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the value would be equal to

= 26,000 cues × 8.89

= $231,140
