Answer:

The cost of capital is 10.974%

Explanation:

The capital of a firm is made up of debt and equity component. The weighted average cost of capital or WACC of a firm is the cost of all the firm's capital components combined and can be referred to as simply the cost of capital.

The cost of capital or WACC for Bioplex Corporation is,

WACC = 0.1 * (1-0.21) * 0.06  +  0.3 * 0.09  +  0.6 * 0.13

WACC = 0.10974 or 10.974%

Ivan

Answer:

The answer is C

Explanation:

we are given that a company starts with 900 units which are 35% complete that means during the production period they are completed, then we are further told that 5000 units are started and completed therefore we add the 900 units we started with with the 5000 units that are started and completed during the period then we are told that at the end of the process 800 units are still in process and 25% completed there fore we add the 25% of 800 units to the 5900 units that are completed therefore we calculate the equivalent units produced by the department as follows:

900 units + 5000 units + 800 units x 25% = 6100 units that are completed on a weighted average method.

Division X's variable cost per unit = $17

Division X's selling price to outside customers = $23

Division Y's offered buying price = $19

The contribution = $2 ($19 - $17)

Hickory point amusement park sells admission tickets for $50 per person for one visit. variable costs are $15 per visitor and fi
Kay [80]
First, calculate for the total operating cost of the park through the equation,

   TC = TV + TF

where TC is the total cost,
     TV is the total variable cost which is equal to the product of the variable cost per visitor and number of visitor, and
     TF is the total fixed cost. 

Substituting the known values,
    TC = ($15)(1,750,000) + $60,000,000 = $86,250,000

Then, the total revenue is the product of the cost of ticket and the number of visitors.
     TR = ($50/visitor)(1,750,000 visitors) = $87,500,000

Subtracting the two values will give us an answer of $1,250,000.
