Answer:

wP = 114.5 / 514.6   = 0.2225 or 22.25%

Explanation:

The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure. The capital structure of a firm can be made up of one or more of the following components namely debt, preferred stock and common equity. The WACC is normally calculated using the market value of these components. The formula for WACC is,

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

Where,

  • wD, wP and wE represents the weight of debt, preferred stock and common equity in the capital structure based on the market value
  • rD, rP and rE are the cost of debt, preferred stock and common equity respectively.

To calculate the weight that should be assigned to the preferred stock in the calculation of WACC, we need to determine the market value of preferred stock and the market value of the capital structure.

Market Value - Debt = 10000 * 1000 * 1.01  =  $10.1 million

Market Value - Preferred stock = 1 * 114.50  = $114.5 million

Market Value - Common equity = 26 * 15  =  $390 million

Total MV of capital structure = 10.1 + 114.5 + 390  = $514.6

wP = 114.5 / 514.6   = 0.2225 or 22.25%

b. The cost of inventorying a single item is $0.86 per item.

c. The cost of inventorying a single item is $0.95 per item.

d. The cost of inventorying a single item is $1.08 per item.

e. You should assign two workers per computer in order to minimize the cost of inventory per single item.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. A complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Imagine you have some workers and some handheld computers that you can use to take inventory at a warehouse. There are diminishing returns to taking inventory. If one worker uses one computer, he can inventory 125 items per hour. Two workers sharing a computer can together inventory 175 items per hour. Three workers sharing a computer can together inventory 185 items per hour. And four or more workers sharing a computer can together inventory fewer than 185 items per hour. Computers cost $100 each and you must pay each worker $25 per hour.

a. If you assign one worker per computer, what is the cost of inventorying a single item? Instructions: Round your answer to two decimal places. $ _____ per item

b. If you assign two workers per computer, what is the cost of inventorying a single item? Instructions: Round your answer to two decimal places. $ _____ per item

c. If you assign three workers per computer, what is the cost of inventorying a single item? Instructions: Round your answer to two decimal places. $_____ per item

d. If you assign four workers per computer, what is the cost of inventorying a single item? Instructions: Round your answer to two decimal places. $_____ per item.

e. How many workers per computer should you assign if you wish to minimize the cost of inventory per single item? _____ worker(s) per computer

The explanation to the answer is now provided as follows:

Note: See the attached excel file for all the calculations.

a. If you assign one worker per computer, what is the cost of inventorying a single item? Instructions: Round your answer to two decimal places. $ _____ per item

The cost of inventorying a single item is <u>$1.00 per item.</u>

b. If you assign two workers per computer, what is the cost of inventorying a single item? Instructions: Round your answer to two decimal places. $ _____ per item

The cost of inventorying a single item is <u>$0.86 per item.</u>

c. If you assign three workers per computer, what is the cost of inventorying a single item? Instructions: Round your answer to two decimal places. $_____ per item

The cost of inventorying a single item is <u>$0.95 per item.</u>

d. If you assign four workers per computer, what is the cost of inventorying a single item? Instructions: Round your answer to two decimal places. $_____ per item.

The cost of inventorying a single item is <u>$1.08 per item.</u>

e. How many workers per computer should you assign if you wish to minimize the cost of inventory per single item? _____ worker(s) per computer

To minimize the cost of inventory per single item, you should assign the number of workers at a point where the cost inventorying a single item is the lowest.

From from parts a to d above, the <u>lowest cost of $0.86 per item </u>of inventorying a single item is obtained in part b when you assign two workers per computer.

Therefore, you should assign two workers per computer in order to minimize the cost of inventory per single item.

Maso Company recorded journal entries for the issuance of common stock for $200,000, the payment of $65,000 on accounts payable,
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

Increase of $95,000

Explanation:

Stockholder equity: It records the issue of shares, retained earnings, and deduct the dividend amount if declared.

The expenses which are related to the business is directly or indirectly affect the stockholder equity.

So, the net effect is shown below:

Issuance of common stock = $200,000

Less - Payment of salaries expense = $105,000

So, the net effect would be equal to

= $200,000 - $105,000

= $95,000

The accounts payable does not affect stockholder equity. So, it would not be considered.

This $95,000 would increase stockholder equity.
