Answer:

Cartels. Colluding. Price fixing.

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Throughout my home, there are many objects that were made in many different places. These objects, though they may seem pedestrian, are highly significant in their ability to help and serve. One of these objects includes my television. This trade occurred at Best Buy, where I gave $5,000 U.S dollars in turn for a continuous flow of information. I have since been positively impacted, as I am always aware of my surroundings (I.e. news) and I can keep up with the latest shows. Another example is my refrigerator. My refrigerator allows me to, once again, connect to the internet and keep in touch with those around me. This product has also impacted me, as it makes life much easier. When at the grocery, I am able to search on my phone and look inside to see what I may, or may not, need.

Suppose Simmons' common stock has a beta of 1.37, the risk-free rate is 3.4 percent, and the market risk premium is 8.2 percent.

Answer:

The WACC of the firm is 11.91%

Explanation:

The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the rate of return that a business is expected to pay to all of its security holders- bonds, common stock, preferred stock- or is the cost of capital for the business.

To calculate the WACC, we use the following formula,

WACC = D/A * (1-tax rate) * rD + E/A * rE

Where,

D/A and E/A is the weightage of debt and assets as a proportion of total assets
rD * (1-tax rate) is the after tax cost of debt
rE is the cost of equity or required rate of return on equity

We first need to calculate the required rate of return on equity (r). We will use the CAPM formula for r.

r = 0.034 + 1.37 * 0.082

r = 0.14634 or 14.634%

The total assets are equal to,

Assets = Debt + Equity

If for every $1 of equity, there is $0.45 of debt as given by debt-equity ratio.

Then,

Assets = 0.45 + 1

Assets = $1.45

WACC = 0.45/1.45 * (1-0.23) * 0.076 + 1/1.45 * 0.14634

WACC = 0.11908 or 11.908% rounded off to 11.91%

Pattern Department overhead $135,000

Cut and Sew Department overhead $227,800

Total $362,800

Pattern Department 2,700 direct labor hours

Cut and Sew Department 3,400

Overhead rate per hour:

Pattern department = $135,000 / 2,700 hours = $50 per hour

Cut and sew department = $227,800 / 3,400 hours = $67 per hour

Production Small Medium Large
