Scilla [17]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The company sold 2,000 units.

Total sales were $163,000

Total variable expenses were $80,900

Total fixed expenses were $57,800.

The contribution margin income statement follows this structure:

Income statement:

Sales

-Total variable cost

= contribution margin

-fixed costs

= net operating income

1) Income statement

Sales= 163,000

Total variable cost= (80,900)

Contribution margin= 82,100

Total fixed costs= (57,800)

Net operating income= 24,300

2) First, we need to calculate the unitary selling price and unitary variable cost:

Selling price= 163,000/2,000=$81.5

Unitary variable cost= 80,900/2,000= $40.45

Sales= 1,900*81.5= $154,850

Total variable cost= (1,900*40.45)= (76,855)

Total contribution margin= 77,995

Total fixed cost= (57,800)

Net operating income= 20,195

A firm has issued 10 percent preferred stock, which sold for $100 per share par value. The cost of issuing and selling the sto

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

The cost of preferred stock is 10.2%

Explanation:

The actual amount realized from issuing the preferred of $100 per share par value is the par value less cost of issuing and selling stock of $2 per share, in other words,$98($100-$2) was realized per share from the issuance.

Having known the net amount realized, the cost of preferred stock can be calculated as follows:

cost of preferred stock =return on preferred stock/net amount realized

return is 10% of $100(par value), i.e $10 per share

cost of preferred stock =$10/$98=10.2%

Note that preferred is not tax deductible like debt financing , hence the rate of tax given is not considered in determining the cost of preferred stock.
