Suppose your company needs $18 million to build a new assembly line. Your target debt-equity ratio is .8. The flotation cost for

new equity is 11 percent, but the flotation cost for debt is only 8 percent. Your boss has decided to fund the project by borrowing money because the flotation costs are lower and the needed funds are relatively small.a.What is your company’s weighted average flotation cost, assuming all equity is raised externally? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)b. What is the true cost of building the new assembly line after taking flotation costs into account? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions, rounded to the nearest whole dollar amount, e.g., 1,234,5667.)

<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>

<u>Calculation of weighted average floatation cost is as follows: </u>

Floatation cost $=\left(\frac{\text { Debt }}{\text { Debt }+\text { Equity }} * \text { cost of the debt }\right)+\left(\frac{\text { Debt }}{\text { Debt }+\text { Equity }} *$ cost of the equity (ke)) \right.

=\left(\frac{.8}{1+0.8} * 8 \%\right)+\left(\frac{8}{1+0.8} * 11 \%\right)

By calculating the above equation, we get = (0.035556) plus (0.048889)

= 0.08444 = 8.44%  (rounded to 2 decimal places)

<u>The amount of money raised is calculated as follows: </u>

Amount raised $*(1 \text { -Floatation cost) }=$ Amount required

\text { Amount raised } *(1-8.44444 \%)=18000000

Amount required = 18000000 divided by 0.91556

= 19660098.7

= 19660099 (rounded off)

Higher inventory is better than lower inventory because the higher the inventory turnover, the better a business is selling goods(inventories) very quickly and that demand for their product exists. While low inventory turnover depicts weaker sales and declining demand for a company's products

Marianna [84]

Answer:

Keep-or-drop decision

Explanation:

Keep-or-drop decision is taken when a manager is in a dilemma whether to continue a product line or segment or shut it down. The manager needs to analyse income statement related to the product line to understand the major issue with product line. If costs are more than revenue, then the product line needs to be shut down. If the reasons for incurring losses can be addressed and that revenue from the product line is more, then it is not dropped.

Therefore, manager takes a keep-or-drop decision.

MW Company manufactures down-filled comforters and uses an activity-based costing system. During the current period, the company
Scilla [17]

Answer:

MW Company

Activity rate for order process = $54,120/660

= $82 per order

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Production = 16,500 units

Direct labor = 19,800 hours

Machine hours = 21,450 hours

No. of orders = 660

No. of shipments = 165

Order-processing cost pool = $54,120

Shipping cost pool = $14,025

Assembly cost pool = $71,280

Activity rate for order process = $54,120/660

= $82 per order

b) MW Company uses an activity-based costing system to identify its activities into cost pools and assign the cost of each activity pool to the products and services according to their actual consumption of the activities.  The activity-based costing technique provides a more accurate method for determining the costs of products and services.  As a more accurate method for pricing decisions than other traditional methods, activity-based costing technique increases management's understanding of overheads and cost drivers and makes activities that are costly and non-value adding to become more visible, allowing managers to reduce or eliminate them, because these activities add costs to the production system.
