Answer:

Weight of debt, Wd = 0.4842 or 48.42%

Explanation:

WACC = Wd×Rd×(1-t)+We×Ke+Wp×Kp

W is weights of respective portfolios

R is return on respective portfolios

Wd+We+Wp = 1

9.50% = Wd×4.80%+(0.93-Wd)×14.70%+0.07×8.90%

9.5% = Wd×4.80%+13.671%-14.70%×Wd+0.623%

9.90%×Wd = 4.794%

Weight of debt, Wd = 0.4842 or 48.42%

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

26762.74

Explanation:

Prior service cost amortization for 2020 can be calculated by first calculating the average time until the employee's retirement. After calculating the average time until retirement we will divide the service cost at that time

Workings

average time until retirment = 5.69 years

prior service cost amortization for 2020 = $152,280/5.69

prior service cost amortization for 2020 = $26762.74

At Midland Company's break-even point of 9,000 units, fixed costs are $180,000 and variable costs are $540,000 in total. The uni
amid [387]

Answer: $80

Explanation:

Since the fixed costs are $180,000 and variable costs are $540,000, then the total cost will be:

= Fixed cost + Variable cost

= $180000 + 540000

= $720000

Since there are 9000 units, then the unit sales price will be:

= $720000 / 9000

= $80

The unit sales price is $80

Assume you borrowed $100,000 at a fixed rate of 7 percent for 30 years to purchase a house. If the inflation rate is 3 percent,
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

(A) less

Explanation:

Given a positive inflation rate, the real value of the dollar will depreciate by the rate of inflation annually.

Thus, for a house that cost $100,000 today, given a 3% inflation rate, it would cost (100,000 * 1.03 = ) $103,000 after a year.

This means, $100,000 today will have the same value as $103,000 one year later.

Therefore, repayments, which will likely be a fixed sum every year, will have a lower purchasing power as the year progresses.

g) Unearned service revenue Unearned revenue Service revenue

Explanation:

End of period adjustments are made to accounts in order to bring them in line with the accrual concept and matching principle of accounting.  These principles require that expenses and revenues for the period are matched in order to determine the appropriate profit generated for the period.  The implication is that transactions are recorded when they are incurred and not when cash is exchanged.  For example, if rent expense is incurred for the year and payment is made in the following year, the expense must be recognized in the current year.  The same applies to revenue.
