Explanation:
Answer:
$
Market value of common stocks (6,000 x $25) = 150,000
Market value of preferred stocks (9,000 x $20) = 180,000
Market value of the company 330,000
Proceeds allocated to common stocks
= $150,000/$330,000 x $312,000
= $141,818
The correct answer is B
Explanation:
The market value of the company is the aggregate of market value of common stocks and market value of preferred stocks.The market value of each stock is equal to number of each stock outstanding multiplied by market price per share. Thus, the proceeds allocated to common stock equals the market value of equity divided by market value of the company multiplied by the lump sum.
Answer:
EOQ= 300 units
Annual ordering cost= $3750
Annual holding cost =$3750
Re-order point =100 units
Explanation:
The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) is the order size that minimizes the balance of ordering cost and holding cost. At the EOQ, the carrying cost is equal to the holding cost.
It is computed using he formulae below
EOQ = √ (2× Co× D)/Ch
EOQ = √ (2× 75× 15,000)/25
EOQ = 300 units
Annual holding cost
= EOQ/2 × holding cost per unit
= 300/2 × $25
=$3750
Annual ordering cost
= Annul demand/EOQ × ordering cost per order
=( 15,000/300)× $75
= $3750
Re-order Point
Maximum consumption × maximum lead time
=( 15,000/300)× 2 = 100 units
Answer:
$4,900
Explanation:
Given that,
Total cost at a production level of 400 units = $8,500
Each unit of pulp requires = 6 direct labor hours
Variable cost = $1.50 per direct labor hour
Total variable cost:
= Cost per direct labor hour × Direct labor hours required for each unit × No. of units produced
= $1.50 × 6 × 400
= $3,600
Total cost is sum total of total fixed cost and total variable cost.
Total cost = Total fixed cost + Total variable cost
$8,500 = Total fixed cost + $3,600
$8,500 - $3,600 = Total fixed cost
$4,900 = Total fixed cost
Answer: 16.3%
Explanation:
Given the details in the question, the cost of preferred capital can be calculated using the CAPM method.
Cost of preferred stock using the Capital Asset Pricing Model is:
= Risk free rate + Beta * ( Market return - Risk free rate)
= 4% + 1.23 * (14% - 4%)
= 16.3%
