Answer:

$5 per unit

Explanation:

In this question, we compare the total cost and outside supplier cost which are shown below:

Total cost = Direct material per unit + direct labor per unit + variable overhead per unit

= $10 + $14 + $3

= $27

And, the outside supplier cost is $32

So, the incremental cost would be

= $32 - $27

= $5 per unit

The fixed cost would remain unchanged. So, we do not consider it.

Answer:

Title VII of the CRA

Explanation:

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act (CRA) is a landmark federal law that aims to protect employees against discrimination based on race, colour, sex, nation of origin, or religion.

The act was made law in 1964.

In the given scenario a female sales representative with excellent performance review was not promoted for 8 years, while Jim a male sales representative was promoted in just 18 months.

This is a gender based discrimination and is covered by Title VII of the CRA.

Age discrimination does not apply because it addresses discrimination of employees with minimum age of 40 years.

Equity act requires that employees on the same job role are compensated equally. This does not also apply.

Rehabilitation act prevents discrimination based on disability. This does not also apply

A company that has both debt and equity in its capital structure will use its weighted average cost of capital (WACC) as its dis
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

In general, the <u>higher</u> the risk of a firm as perceived by its existing and potential investors, the greater is the firm’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC).

  • If a firm is considered to be risky, they will get debt at a high rate to compensate for the risk making WACC greater.

The calculation of a firm’s weighted average cost of capital should be based on the <u>after-tax</u> cost of the dollar of financial capital raised.

  • Interest is tax deductible so WACC is calculated net of taxes to cater for this.

It is generally believed that the proportions, or weights, used in the calculation of a firm’s weighted average cost of capital should be based on the market values of the firm’s capital sources. This is because the market value weighting system is more consistent with maximizing the value of the firm’s <u>Shareholder wealth.</u>

  • Market Values are the true reflection of shareholder wealth and this is what the company should aim to maximise.

Although the use of market value weights is theoretically superior to the use of book value weights in the calculation of a firm’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC), firms often use book value weights due to their relative stability compared to the daily changes in market values. <u>True</u>

  • Market values tend to fluctuate quite often so it is easier for companies to use book value amounts.

A firm’s new investments, existing assets, and capital structure affect its overall degree of risk and, in turn, its weighted average cost of capital. <u>True</u>

  • The assets and potential assets that a company has as well as how it funded those assets determine just how risky the company is and as earlier mentioned, the riskier the firm, the higher the WACC so risk does have an effect on WACC.
