Kipish [7]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

In this question, we have to compare the cost so that the net income or net loss would be calculated.

Sales Process Further Cost

Sales $450,000 $1,275,100

Less: Processing cost $210,000

Net income $450,000 $1,065,100

where,

Sales of further processing cost would be

= 5,800 units × $107 + 11,900 units × $55

= $620,600 + $654,500

= $1,275,100

Since, net income is increased by $615,100. So, It would be process further

erastova [34]

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%

Firm X has total earnings of $49,000, a market value per share of $64, a book value per share of $38, and has 25,000 shares outs

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

$1,456,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the value of the total equity of the combined firm, XY, if the purchase method of accounting is used

First step is to calculate the Assets from Firm X

Assets from Firm X = 25,000 ( $38 )

Assets from Firm X= $950,000 (book value)

Second step is to calculate the Assets from Firm Y

Assets from Firm Y = 22,000 ( $21 )

Assets from Firm Y = $462,000 (Market value)

Third step is to calculate the Goodwill

Goodwill = 22,000 ($21 + 2 ) - $462,000

Goodwill= $44,000

Now let calculate the the total equity of the combined firm, XY,

Total equity of XY = $950,000 + $462,000 + $44,000

Total equity of XY = $1,456,000

Therefore the value of the total equity of the combined firm, XY, if the purchase method of accounting is used will be $1,456,000

Masja [62]

Answer: $8,600

Explanation:

Implicit cost is also known as the opportunity cost which means that it is the benefit of the next best alternative that was foregone when the current decision was made.

The implicit cost here is therefore:

The $8,000 that Charles could have been making as a lifeguard.

The interest per year he could have been earning on the $5,000 he used to buy mowing equipment.

The depreciation on the mowing equipment because depreciation is not an explicit cost but an implicit one.

= 8,000 + (2% * 5,000) + (10% * 5,000)

= 8,000 + 100 + 500

= $8,600

A monopolistically competitive firm chooses

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

D. both the quantity of output to produce and the price at which it will sell its output.

Explanation:

A monpolistically competitive firm chooses the price and the quantity to produce. This decision is guided by market conditions and the goal to maximise profit.

A monopolistic competitive firm has a downward sloping demand curve just like a monopoly, so the monpolistically competitive firm chooses the quantity that maximises its profit and then chooses price.

A downward sloping demand curve indicates that quantity demanded is sensitive to price. The higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded.

A monpolistically competitive firm is a firm that has features of both a monopoly and a competitive firm.

The ability of a monpolistically competitive firm to set prices makes it a price maker.

Just like a monopoly, a monopolistically competitive firm has the following features:

1. It faces of downward sloping demand curve.

2. It sets the price for its products.

Just like a perfect competition, a monopolistically competitive firm has the following features:

1. No barriers to entry or exit.

2. There are many buyers and sellers

Other features of a monpolistically competitive firm are:

1. Firms sell differentiated products

2. Firms engage in non price competition.
