Answer:

WACC = 8.56%

Explanation:

First, we need to find out what is the equivalent percentage of every source of cash, I mean, if the sum of all sources is 1,040,000 (275,000+650,000+115,000) each source participation will be as follows.

Debt = 275000/1040000=26.44%

Common Stocks= 650000/1040000=62.50%

Preferred Stocks= 115000/1040000= 11.06%

Now, let's remember that common stocks and preferred stocks are not tax-deductible, on the other hand, the debt it is, so, the afer-tax cost of each source is:

Debt = 5.75% x (1-0.25) = 4.31%

Common Stocks = 9.75%

Preferred Stocks = 12%

Finally, our weighted average cost of capital is:

WACC = 4.31% x (26.44%) + 9.75% x (62.50%) + 12% x (11.06%) = 8.56%

Best of luck

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

The answer is: A) expropriation

Explanation:

Expropriation is the seizure of private property by a government entity or government agency for the purpose of public interest. Usually owners that lose property due to expropriations, receive some type of compensation for their loss. It also can refer to private property being taken away by another private entity with the authorization of a government entity or agency. A common example of expropriation is land being taken away for building roads or dams.

In this case the Quality Dragon plant was expropriated by a private entity who was authorized by the government and the owner was received a monetary compensation for his loss.

Lincoln Park Co. has a bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 6.04 percent and semiannual payments. The yield to maturity is 6.1
Reil [10]

Answer:

value of the bond = $2,033.33

Explanation:

We know,

Value of the bond, B_{0} = [I * \frac{1 - (1 + i)^{-n}}{i}] + \frac{FV}{(1 + i)^n}

Here,

Face value of par value, FV = $2,000

Coupon payment, I = Face value or Par value × coupon rate

Coupon payment, I = $2,000 × 6.04%

Coupon payment, I = $128

yield to maturity, i = 6.1% = 0.061

number of years, n = 15

Therefore, putting the value in the formula, we can get,

B_{0} = [128 * \frac{1 - (1 + 0.061)^{-7}}{0.061}] + [\frac{2,000}{(1 + 0.061)^7}]

or, B_{0} = [128 * \frac{1 - (1.061)^{-7}}{0.061}] + [\frac{2,000}{(1.061)^7}]

or, B_{0} = [128 * \frac{0.3393}{0.061}] + 1,321.3635

or, B_{0} = [128 * 5.5623] + 1,321.3635

or, B_{0} = $711.9738 + 1,321.3635

Therefore, value of the bond = $2,033.33

The firm receives an average of $20,000 in checks per day. The weighted average delay in clearing the checks received is 3 days.
katrin [286]

Answer:

<u>$26000</u>

Explanation:

from the question;

check per day; 20000

delay: 3 days

checks to pay suppliers; 17000

clearing time 2 days

<u>we first calculate collection flaot:</u>

collection flaot = average amount of check x outstanding days

= 20000 x 3

= 60000

now we have to calculate <u>disbursements float:</u>

average amount of check x days to clear

= 17000 x 2

= 34000

with these two values we can get the net float

= collection flaot - disbursements float

= 60000 - 34000

= <u>$26000</u>

Dallas Company uses a job order costing system. The company's executives estimated that direct labor would be $3,360,000 (240,00
mixer [17]

Answer:

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Estimated overhead cost = $1,540,000

Estimated direct labors (in dollars) = $3,360,000

Estimated direct labor hours = 240,000

Actual overhead cost = $1,240,000

Predetermined overhead rate:

= Estimated overhead cost ÷ Estimated direct labor hours

= $1,540,000 ÷ 240,000

= $6.42 per direct labor hour
