Answer and Explanation:

The computation of each point is shown below:-

But before that we need to do the following calculations

First Issue of Bonds:

Face Value = $45,000,000

Market Value = 95% × $45,000,000

= $42,750,000

Annual Coupon Rate = 6%

Semiannual Coupon Rate = 3%

= 3% × $45,000,000

= $1,350,000

Time to Maturity = 26 years

Semiannual Period to Maturity = 52

Let semiannual YTM be i%

$42,750,000 = $1,350,000 × PVIFA(i%, 52) + $45,000,000 × PVIF(i%, 52)

N = 52

PV = -42750000

PMT = 1350000

FV = 45000000

I = 3.20%

Semiannual YTM = 3.20%

Annual YTM = 2 × 3.20%

Annual YTM = 6.40%

Before-tax Cost of Debt = 6.40%

After-tax Cost of Debt = 6.40% × (1 - 0.40)

= 3.84%

Second Issue of Bonds:

Face Value = $50,000,000

Market Value = 54% × $50,000,000

= $27,000,000

Time to Maturity = 15 years

Semiannual Period to Maturity = 30

Let semiannual YTM be i%

$27,000,000 = $50,000,000 × PVIF(i%, 30)

Using a financial calculator:

N = 30

PV = -27000000

PMT = 0

FV = 50000000

I = 2.075%

Semiannual YTM = 2.075%

Annual YTM = 2 × 2.075%

= 4.15%

Before-tax Cost of Debt = 4.15%

After-tax Cost of Debt = 4.15% × (1 - 0.40)

= 2.49%

a. The total book value of debt is

Total Book Value of Debt = $45,000,000 + $50,000,000

= $95,000,000

b. The total market value of debt is

Total Market Value of Debt = $42,750,000 + $27,000,000

= $69,750,000

c. The estimate of the aftertax cost of debt is

Weight of first Issue of Debt is

= $42,750,000 ÷ $69,750,000

= 0.6129

Weight of second issue of Debt

= $27,000,000 ÷ $69,750,000

= 0.3871

So,  

Estimated After-tax Cost of Debt is

= 0.6129 × 3.84% + 0.3871 × 2.49%

= 3.32%

The Dogwood Technology Company managerial accountant computes the May total variance report. The budgeted fixed overhead was $ 4
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

$750 favorable ; $200 unfavorable

Explanation:

The computations are shown below:

For fixed overhead budget variance:

= Budgeted fixed overhead - actual fixed overhead

= $47,420 - $46,670

= $750 favorable

For fixed overhead volume variance:

= Budgeted fixed overhead - standard fixed overhead cost allocated to production

= $47,420 - $47,220

= $200 unfavorable

Hence we consider all the given information

One of the least desirable and routine tasks members of your team must do is taking minutes (notes) at team meetings. Proof that
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

C. Create a rotating assignment so each team member shares note taking.

Explanation:

In the case noted in the question above, there is a situation that could be unpleasant if it were decided by some type of bias.

Therefore, the most appropriate alternative for the team to address this situation would be to create a rotating assignment for each team member to share the notes. This way it would not happen that a team member is always chosen to perform a task that causes dissatisfaction in the whole team. Creating a rotating assignment to carry out the task would guarantee the uniformity of the task assignment and avoid possible dissatisfactions, inequalities and interpersonal conflicts that could arise.
