Answer:
a.
WACC = 0.07961 or 7.961% rounded off to 7.96%
b.
After tax cost of debt = 0.0474 or 4.74%
Explanation:
a.
The weighted average cost of capital or WACC is the cost of a firm's capital structure. To calculate the WACC, we multiply the weight of each component of the capital structure by the cost of that component. The components of capital structure can be one or all of the following namely debt, preferred stock and common stock.
The formula for WACC is,
WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate) + wP * rP + wE * rE
Where,
- w represents the weight of each component
- r represents the cost of each component
- D, P and E represents debt, preferred stock and common stock respectively
WACC = 0.15 * 0.06 * (1 - 0.21) + 0.1 * 0.05 + 0.75 * 0.09
WACC = 0.07961 or 7.961% rounded off to 7.96%
b.
The after tax cost of debt is calculated by multiplying the cost of debt by (1 - tax rate) to adjust for the tax advantage provided by debt as interest payments on debt are tax deductible.
After tax cost of debt = 0.06 * (1 - 0.21)
After tax cost of debt = 0.0474 or 4.74%

The answer would be 187.50
250 $ for 20 friends would be $12.50 per friend. So, 12.5 x 15 = $187.50
Answer:
Option (C) is correct.
Explanation:
Actual output = 5100 units
Actual direct labor-hours = 3,380 hours
Actual direct labor cost = $74,698
The labor rate variance:
= (Actual Hours × Actual rate ) - ( Actual Hours × Standard Rate)
= $74,698 - ( 3,380 Hours × $20.40 Per Hour)
= $74,698 - $68,952
= $5,746 U
Since, the Actual is more than the Standard, the Variance is Unfavorable
Hence, the correct answer is $ 5,746 U
