Answer:
Machine setups= $173.8 per setup
Special processing= $136.67 per machine hour
General factory= $13 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
<u>To calculate the activities cost rates, we need to use the following formulas:</u>
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Machine setups= 34,760 / 200= $173.8 per setup
Special processing= 136,670 / 1,000= $136.67 per machine hour
General factory= 819,000 / 63,000= $13 per direct labor hour
Apartheid was basically racial segregation and discrimination during the colonial times in South Africa.
Answer:
GDP is an imperfect measure of Economic well being because of : Production of - Non Monetary Exchange goods , Positive & Negative Externalities goods, Negative Impact goods.
Explanation:
GDP is the total value of goods & services produced by an economy during a period of time.
Although reflecting flow of goods & services in an economy, GDP is still not a perfect measure of well being because :
- Non Monetary Exchange Goods : Services of family members (housewives), leisure production (eg painting) are non monetary.
- Positive & Negative Externalities Goods: Benefit or harm to un-involved party, without any monetary exchange. Eg - Education, Pollution.
- Negative Impact Goods : Goods consumption leading to well being loss rather than well being gain. Eg- Addiction (Alcohol / Smoking).
All these goods change well being : Non Monetary Exchange Goods increase well being , Positive Externalities increase welfare , Negative Externalities decrease welfare , Negative Impact goods decrease welfare.
But, these are still not included in GDP evaluation. So, all these make GDP an imperfect measure of well being.

Answer:
A. 12.1%
B. 8.9%
Explanation:
a. Calculation for What is the company's new cost of equity
Using this formula
New cost of equity=Cost of capital+[(Cost of capital- Debt interest rate ) *(Debt-equity ratio)*(1)]
Let plug in the formula
New cost of equity=[0.089+[(0.089-0.057)*(1)*1]
New cost of equity=[0.089+0.032*(1)*1]
New cost of equity=[0.121*(1)*1]
New cost of equity=0.121*100
New cost of equity=12.1%
Therefore the company's new cost of equity will be 12.1%
b. Calculation for What is its new WACC
Particular Weight Cost Weighted cost
Equity 0.5000 *12.1% = 0.0605
Debt 0.5000 * 5.7% =0.0285
WACC =0.089*100
WACC =8.9%
(0.0605+0.0285)
Therefore the new WACC will be 8.9%
