The average remaining service life per employee in 2016 and 2017 is 10 years and in 2018 and 2019 is 12 years. The net gain or loss that occurred during each year is as follows: 2016, $288,400 loss; 2017, $92,700 loss; 2018, $11,330 loss; and 2019, $25,750 gain.

almond37 [142]

Answer:

The firm's unleveraged beta is 1.0251

Explanation:

Hamada's equation  is used to separate the financial risk of a levered firm from its business risk.

The Hamada equation:

Bu= Bl/(1 + (1 − T)(D/E))

Bl = 1.4

wd = 0.36

Tax rate = 35%

D/E = wd / (1 – wd) = 0.5625 = 56.25%

= 1.4/ (1+(1-0.35)(0.5625))

=1.4/ 1 + (0.65)(0.5625)

=1.4/1.36

= 1.0251

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

$5.5= actual price

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Managers expected to pay $5 per kilogram.

Each unit produced should take 2 kilograms; actual total usage was 2,100 kilograms.

The company produced 950 units.

The direct materials spending variance is $1,050 (unfavorable).

To calculate the actual price per kilogram, we need to use the direct material spending variance.

Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

-1,050= (5 - actual price)*2,100

-0.5= 5 - actual price

5.5= actual price
