Answer:
The before-tax cost of debt is adjusted for tax in the computation of weighted average cost of capital.
The correct answer is D
Explanation:
In the calculation of weighted average cost of capital, the before tax cost of debt is adjusted for tax so as to obtain the after-tax cost of debt. Cost of equity and cost of preferred stocks will not be adjusted for tax.
Answer:
Option (D) is correct.
Explanation:
Total Overhead Cost:
= (Overhead × Number of cases) for all products
= (20 × 350) + (25 × 550) + (17 × 650)
= 31,800
Total Machine Hours:
= Machine hours × Number of cases
= (5 × 350) + (3 × 550) + (4 × 650)
= 6,000
Overhead Rate:
= Total Overhead Cost ÷ Total Machine Hours
= 31,800 ÷ 6,000
= 5.30
Total product cost per case for Product GC:
= Direct Material + Direct Labor + Overhead
= 80 + 30 + (Machine hours × Overhead Rate)
= 80 + 30 + (3 × 5.3)
= 80.00 + 30.00 + 15.90
= $125.90

This is tough to answer in 3-5 sentences, and tends to also be a heavy identifier of your possible political leanings. You'll have to apologize if some of mine leak out in the response, but this is a question we debate hotly more frequently than every 4 years.
In general, international trade can help increase the GDP and overall profits for US-based corporations. However, if all we do is export, and we don't import, other countries don't look favorably upon that and may heavily tax our goods to counter this.
I believe we do need to be thoughtful about the amounts and kinds of international trade that we engage in. For example, farming is always a hotly debated issue for international trade, in part because farmers in other countries with a dramatically lower cost of living OR farmers in countries with a favorable currency rate (exchange from their currency to our dollars gives them an advantage) can undercut our farmers here in the US, many of whom are already struggling.
There are also those who are worried that when we import produce from countries that have not outlawed pesticides we know are carcinogenic, for instance, this creates not only a disadvantage for US farmers, but also for consumers who may be concerned about health issues.
As another example of this, many countries outlawed import of US beef during the Mad Cow Epidemic. We in turn also placed bans on importing beef from the UK.
These are examples of why it's important to be thoughtful about trade, but there are certainly many others, including decline in production jobs within the US that have left cities like Detroit a ghost town (this was formerly the hub of our automotive industry production).
