Answer:

The company's WACC is 9.14%

Explanation:

cost of preferred stock

= (dividend on preferred stock)/(current market price)

= [$100*4%]/$72

= 5.56%

total finance = debt + equity + preferred stock

                     = (8,000*$1,060) + (310,000*$57) + (15,000*$72)

                     = $8,480,000 + $17,670,000 + $1,080,000

                      = $27,230,000

weight of debt = debt/total finance

                         = $8,480,000/$27,230,000

                         = 0.31

weight on equity = equity/total finace

                             = $1.080.000/$27,230,000

                             = 0.04

WACC

= (weight of debt*after tax cost of debt) + (weight on equity*cost of equity)

= (0.31*0.0393) + (0.65-0.1185) + (0.04*0.0556)

= 9.14%

Therefore, The company's WACC is 9.14%

Economic Ordering Quantity (EOQ). The Gentry Garden Center sells 100,000 bags of lawn fertilizer annually. The optimal safety st
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

1. Annual demand ( D) = 100,000 bags

Ordering cost per order (Co) = $15

Holding cost per item per annum (H) = 15% x  $2 = $0.30

EOQ = √<u>2DCo</u>

                H

EOQ = √<u>2 x 100,000 x $15</u>

                  0.30

EOQ = 3,162 units

2. Maximum inventory

   = Safety stock + EOQ

   = 1,500 + 3,162

   = 4,662 units

3. Average inventory

   = EOQ/2

   = <u>3,162</u>

         2

   = 1,581 units

4. Number of order

   = <u>Annual demand</u>

            EOQ

   = <u>100,000</u>

        3,162

  = 32 times

       

Explanation:

EOQ is the square root of 2 multiplied by annual demand and ordering cost per order divided by  holding cost per item per annum.

Maximum inventory is the aggregate of safety stock and EOQ.

Average inventory is economic order quantity divided by 2

Number of order is the ratio of annual demand to economic order quantity.

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

3

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Sales for the last four months :

8, 10, 15, and 9 units

Last four forecast of sales:

9, 11, 8 and 12 units

Now,

The mean absolute deviation (MAD) value of these forecast will be calculated as:

MAD = [ ∑|Sales - Forecast sales| ] ÷ [ Total number of forecast ]

or

MAD =  [ |8 - 9| + |10 - 11| + |15 - 8| + |9 - 12| ] ÷ 4

or

MAD = [ 1 + 1 + 7 + 3 ] ÷ 4

or

MAD = 12 ÷ 4

or

MAD = 3
