Answer:
The correct answers are $40,000 and $13,500
Explanation:
The implicit cost of the business is $40,000 nothing for the entrepreneur's time plus $13,500 nothing for the entrepreneur's funds (enter your response as an integer)
The implicit cost indicates the cost of an asset rather than selling it or renting it out. In other words, the company has to give up by deciding not to exploit an asset. For this case $40,000
For the other line
15% = 0.15
$90,000 x 15% = $13,500
Answer:
Explanation:
Because land never depreciates, Western Bank & Trust wanted to distribute a higher percentage of the purchase price to the building, rather than the land. By allocating 90% of the purchase price to the building, rather than a more accurate 70%, Western Bank & Trust increases the depreciation amount of the building each year. For tax purposes, the IRS requires that the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) be used as the depreciation method used by companies. Under this method, the IRS specifies the useful life for a specific asset. MACRS also ignores residual value of an asset at the end of its useful life. By stating that the building was worth 90% of the total purchase price, Western Bank is attempting to increase its tax deduction from the IRS, because only the building depreciates, not the land. This improper allocation of the total purchase amount violates GAAP principles, which require that accounting information be “relevant and have faithful representation.” The information must be “complete, neutral, and free from error” (Nobles, Mattison, & Matsumura, 2014). For Western Bank to provide complete, neutral, and free from error information, it should record the transaction honestly: 70% to the building, 30% to the land. This dishonest representation is harmful to the federal government in that it is allowing Western Bank to take more money than what it is owed. If these kinds of situations happen on a large scale, it could have a huge impact on the economy in general. Source: Nobles, T., Mattison, B., & Matsumura, E. M. (2014).

a.
WACC is calculated as –
WACC = (Weight of common stock X Cost of common stock) + (Weight of preferred stock X Cost of preferred stock) + (Weight of debt X After tax cost of debt)
WACC = (64% X 13.4%) + (9% X 6.4%) + (27% X ((1- 40%)*8.1%))
WACC = 10.46%
b. After tax cost of debt is calculated as –
After tax cost of debt = (1- tax rate) X cost of debt pre-tax
After tax cost of debt = ((1- 40%)*8.1%))
After tax cost of debt = 4.86%
