Answer:

Option 4

Explanation:

In this question ,we have to compute the WACC which is shown below:

= Weightage of debt × cost of debt × ( 1- tax rate) + (Weightage of common stock) × (cost of common stock)

For Option 1, it would be

= (0.3 × 10%) × ( 1 - 40%) + (0.7 × 12.5%)

= 1.8% + 8.75%

= 10.55%

For Option 2, it would be

= (0.4 × 10.5%) × ( 1 - 40%) + (0.6 × 13%)

= 2.52% + 7.8%

= 10.32%

For Option 3, it would be

= (0.5 × 11%) × ( 1 - 40%) + (0.5 × 13.5%)

= 3.3% + 6.75%

= 10.05%

For Option 4, it would be

= (0.6 × 11.7%) × ( 1 - 40%) + (0.4 × 14.2%)

= 4.212% + 5.68%

= 9.89%

For Option 5, it would be

= (0.7 × 13%) × ( 1 - 40%) + (0.3 × 15.5%)

= 5.46% + 4.65%

= 10.11%

So based on this, the management should accept option 4 as it derives the best debt asset ratio

The weightage of equity would be come

= 1 - weightage of debt

stealth61 [152]

Answer: Paul has a taxable dividend of $15,000.

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that ABC Corporation has E & P of $240,000 and distributes land with a fair market value of $70,000 (adjusted basis of $25,000) to its sole shareholder, Paul. We are further informed that the land is subject to a liability of $55,000.

The taxable dividend will be the difference between the fair market value of land and the liability on the land. This will be:

= $70,000 - $55,000

= $15,000

Therefore, Paul has a taxable dividend of $15,000.

In addition to other costs, Grosha Telephone Company planned to incur $600,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead in making 500,000

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

Please find the detailed answer as follows:

Explanation:

a) Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated manufacturing overhead cost / Estimated total units in the allocation based

Predetermined overhead rate = 600,000 / 500,000 = 1.2 perunit

b) Total fixed cost spending variance = Actual fixed overhead cost - Estimated overhead cost

= 599,400 - 600,000

= 600 (F) Favourable

c) Total fixed cost volume variance = Actual fixed overheads - Estimated fixed overheads

Actual fixed overheads = Estimated fixed overhead rate * Actual units produced

= 1.2 * 508,000 = $609,600

Total fixed cost volume variance =$ 609,600 - $600,000 = $9600 (F) Favourable
