Turnbull Co. has a target capital structure of 45% debt, 4% preferred stock, and 51% common equity. It has a before-tax cost of

debt of 11.1%, and its cost of preferred stock is 12.2%. If Turnbull can raise all of its equity capital from retained earnings, its cost of common equity will be 14.7%. However, if it is necessary to raise new common equity, it will carry a cost of 16.8%. If its current tax rate is 25%, how much higher will Turnbull’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) be if it has to raise additional common equity capital by issuing new common stock instead of raising the funds through retained earnings?

Answer:

By raising additional funds from issuing additional equity common stock ,WAAC increases by 1.07%

Explanation:

WACC=Ke*E/V+Kp*P/V*Kd*D/V*(1-t)

WACC when additional funds is raised from retained earnings:

Ke is the cost of equity is 14.7%

Kd is the cost of debt is  11.1%

Kp is  the cost of preferred stock 12.2%

E=equity weight of 51% 0.51

P= preferred stock weight 4% 0.04

D=debt weight 45% 0.45

V=debt+equity+preferred stock weights

V=0.51+0.04+0.45=1

t is the tax rate at 25% 0.25

WACC=14.7%*0.51/1+12.2%*0.04+11.1%*0.45*(1-0.25)

          =(14.7%*0.51)/1+(12.2%*0.04)+(11.1%*0.45*0.75)

          =11.73%

WACC when additional funds is raised from common equity capital

Ke is the cost of equity is 16.8%

Kd is the cost of debt is  11.1%

Kp is  the cost of preferred stock 12.2%

E=equity weight of 51% 0.51

P= preferred stock weight 4% 0.04

D=debt weight 45% 0.45

V=debt+equity+preferred stock weights

V=0.51+0.04+0.45=1

t is the tax rate at 25% 0.25

WACC=16.8%*0.51/1+12.2%*0.04+11.1%*0.45*(1-0.25)

          =(16.8%*0.51)/1+(12.2%*0.04)+(11.1%*0.45*0.75)

          =12.80%

By raising additional funds from issuing additional equity common stock ,WAAC increases by 1.07% (12.80%-11.73%)

How should an organization design its structure and culture to obtain a core competence in manufacturing and in research and dev
nekit [7.7K]

Answer and Explanation:

core competency of an organization comprise it's multiple resource, capabilities and skills that gives it a competitive advantage in the market. It was originated in management theory by C. K. Prahalad and Gary Hamel.

For an organization to have core competencies in manufacturing and also research and development putting it's organizational structure and culture to use, it has to:

create a flexible and somewhat independent structure for it's research and development department such that innovation is easy. Control must be decentralized and the team must come first

For the manufacturing department, an organic and participative approach should be encouraged. This would allow inclusive management such that workers are included in decision making processes. Managers should also be given more independence while workers should increasingly be empowered

the organization should also take stringent measures in employing the right people for the research and development as well as the manufacturing department such that these individuals are qualified and possess the needed expertise for their areas. Staff should equally be empowered through constant education and new skill acquisitions and be allowed to impart this knowledge on other staff by encouraging transfers in global expansion.

faust18 [17]

Answer:

Best estimate for inventory =$70,764.85

Explanation:

The closing inventory value at retail

= (Opening inventory + Purchases - sales)  all in retail prices

= $123,000 +  $483,000 - 493,000.

= 113000

Closing inventory value at cost

=113,000 ×  (64,500 + 315,000)/(123,000 +  $483,000)

=70,764.85

Best estimate for inventory =$70,764.85

A store has two different coupons that customers can use. One coupon gives the customer $15 off their purchase, and the other co
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

16.25;

g(f(x)) ;

76 ;

f(g(x))

Explanation:

For 15 off

f(x) = x - 15

For 35% off

g(x) = (1 - 0.35)x = 0.65x

g(x) = 0.65x

A.)

For the $15 off coupon :

f(x) = x - 15

f(x) 40 - 15 = 25

For the 35% coupon :

g(x) = (1-0.35)x

g(x) = 0.65(25)

g(x) = 16.25

B.)

Applying $15 off first, then 35%

Here, g is a function of f(x)

g(f(x))

Here g(x) takes in the result of f(x) ;

For the $140 off coupon :

f(x) = x - 15

f(140) = 140 - 15 = 125

For the 35% coupon :

g(125) = (1-0.35)x

g(124) = 0.65(125) = $81.25

C.)

x = 140

g(x) = 0.65x

g(140) = 0.65(140)

g(140) = 91

f(x) = x - 15

f(91) = 91 - 15

f(91) = 76

D.)

Here, F is a function of g(x)

f(g(x))

f(x) = (0.65*140) - 15

When he finishes entering his transactions, Malcolm realizes that his balance is incorrect. Assuming that Malcolm had no beginni
yulyashka [42]

Incomplete question. The full question read;

Malcolm has several receipts from recent transactions that he entered into his records. The receipts include an ATM receipt for an $80.00 deposit, a grocery store receipt for $25.50, and a paycheck deposit slip for $650.00.

When he finishes entering his transactions, Malcolm realizes that his balance is incorrect. Assuming that Malcolm had no beginning balance, what should his correct balance be?

Answer:

<u>$704.50</u>

Explanation:

First, we need to note which transactions are credit transactions, and which is a debit transaction. <em>Remember</em>, a<u> credit transaction</u> basically means a transaction that brings money into your account, while the latter is a transaction that takes money out of your account.

Malcolm's credit transactions:

  • ATM receipt for an $80.00 deposit
  • paycheck deposit slip for $650.00

Total: <u>$730.</u>

Malcolm's debit transactions:

  • grocery store receipt for $25.50

Total: $25.50

Substracting total debit transactions from credit transactions, Malcolm's correct balance would be = $704.50 ($730-$25.50).
