Answer:

c. The present value of the perpetuity has to be higher than the present value of either the ordinary annuity or the annuity due

Winston Company’s high and low level of activity last year was 60,000 units produced in April and 20,000 units produced in Decem

horsena [70]

Answer:

Total cost= $36,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Winston Company’s high and low level of activity last year was 60,000 units produced in April and 20,000 units produced in December. Machine maintenance costs were $52,000 in April and $20,000 in December.

To calculate the total cost, first, we need to calculate the unitary variable cost. With the unitary variable cost, we can calculate the fixed costs. Then, the total cost at 40,000 units.

Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)

Variable cost per unit= (52,000 - 20,000) / (60,000 - 20,000)= $0.8 per unit

Now, we calculate the fixed costs:

Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)

Fixed costs= 52,000 - (0.8*60,000)= $4,000

Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)

Fixed costs= 20,000 - (0.8*20,000)= $4,000

Total cost= 4,000 + 0.8*units

Total cost= 4,000 + 0.8*40,000= $36,000

vitfil [10]

Answer:

10.53%

Explanation:

WACC = wE*rE + wP*rP + wD*rD(1-tax)

Market values;

Debt = 1.05 *5,000*1000 = 5,250,000

Preferred stock = 15,500 *107 = 1,658,500

Common equity = 105,000 *63 = 6,615,000

Total market value = 13,523,500

wE = 6,615,000/ 13,523,500 = 0.4891

wP= 1,658,500/13,523,500 = 0.1226

wD = 5,250,000/13,523,500 = 0.3882

Cost of capital;

Cost of common equity, rE using CAPM;

rE = 0.06 + (1.13*0.09) = 0.1617

rE = 16.17%

Cost of preferred stock = 6%

Cost of debt

using a financial calculator, input the following; N= 38, PV = -1050, PMT = 37.5,

FV =1000, then CPT I/Y = 3.51% . So annual rate = 3.51% *2 = 7.02%

WACC = (0.4891*0.1617) +(0.1226* 0.06) + [0.3882 *0.0702(1-0.31)]

WACC = 0.0791 + 0.007356 + 0.0188

WACC = 0.1053 or 10.53%
