Answer:
Should Marston Manufacturing Company accept or reject the project?
Marston C Company should reject the project because its expected return is lower than Division H's cost of capital.
Since the divisions' risk is so different, and probably their projects are also very different, the company should use different costs of capital to accept of reject the projects based on each division's cost of capital.
Imagine another situation where Division L is evaluating a project that yields 10%. If they used the company's WACC, then they should reject the project, but if they used the division's cost of capital, then they should accept the project (in this case I would recommend accepting it).
Explanation:
Division H's risk = 14%
Division L's risk = 8%
WACC = 11%
Answer:
January Overheads are <u>under-applied</u> by $2,000.
Explanation:
When,
Actual overheads > Applied overheads we say overheads are under-applied.
Actual overheads < Applied overheads we say overheads are over-applied.
Where,
Applied overheads = Predetermined overhead rate × Actual Activity
Therefore,
Applied overheads (January) = 120% × $40,000
= $48,000
Actual overheads (January) = $50,000.
Conclusion
It can be seen that from the above : Actual overheads : $50,000 > Applied overhead : $48,000, therefore overheads were under-applied.
Amount of under-applied overheads = $50,000 - $48,000
= $2,000
Answer:
$202,701,713.58
Explanation:
Present value of this liability = Value of liability / ((1+r)^t)
Present value of this liability = $750 million / ((1+0.08)^17)
Present value of this liability = $750 million / (1.08)^17
Present value of this liability = $750 million / 3.7000180548
Present value of this liability = $202,701,713.5840815
Present value of this liability = $202,701,713.58
Answer:
Marginal cost is rising.
Explanation:
Given that,
Jill Johnson currently produces = 10,000 Pizzas per month
At a total cost = $500
Marginal cost refers to the cost of producing one more unit of a commodity to satisfy a given want.
Average total cost = $500 ÷ 10,000
= $0.05
Here, Marginal cost of producing pizzas is as follows:
= Total cost of producing 10,001 pizzas - Total cost of producing 10,000 pizzas
= $500.11 - $500
= $0.11
Therefore, marginal cost of producing an additional pizza is $0.11 and it is rising, since average total cost is less than marginal total cost and ATC rising.
Answer:
D. $5
Explanation:
Accountants calculate only explicit costs, or costs that are directly attributed to the process. (This is different than how an economist would calculate costs, because economists would also include the implicit costs such as the opportunity cost of the wages Walter could be earning at the store if he wasn't making bird houses).
