Answer:

Option B, increased by 7,010 units is the correct answer

Explanation:

The profits under absorption costing of $125,750 is higher than the one recorded under variable costing of $90,000,this implies that more inventory items have been charged with fixed cost included in the closing value of inventory.

The fixed manufacturing overhead per unit=$58,650/11,500

                                                                         =$5.1

Invariably, each item of closing inventory under absorption costing has $5.1 of fixed cost included in it.

The difference between both methods' profit figures  $35,750 ($125,750-$90,000)

number of increase in closing inventory=difference in profit figures/fixed cost per  unit

number of increase in closing inventory=$35,750/$5.1

                                                                  =7,010

Answer:

a. Decreased by 7010 units

Explanation:

Variable costing net operating income$ 90,000

Add manufacturing overhead costs

deferred in inventory under absorption

costing ($125,750-$90,000) $35,750

Deduct fixed manufacturing overhead costs released from inventory under absorption costingAbsorption costing net operating income $125,750

Fixed manufacturing overhead per unit = $58,650 ÷ 11,500 units = $5.1 per unit

Manufacturing overhead deferred in (released from) inventory = Fixed manufacturing overhead in endinginventory − Fixed manufacturing overhead in beginning inventory$35,750= ($5.1 per unit × Units in ending inventory) − ($5.1 per unit × Units in beginning inventory)$35,750 = $5.1 per unit × (Units in ending inventory − Units in beginning inventory)(Units in ending inventory − Units in beginning inventory)

= $35,750÷ $5.1 per unit = 7,010 units

Fama’s Llamas has a weighted average cost of capital of 10.9 percent. The company’s cost of equity is 12 percent, and its pretax
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

0.2

Explanation:

The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is calculated as below:

WACC = (D/A) x r_D x (1-t) + (E/A) x r_E , where:

A: Market value of company asset;

D: Market value of company debt;

E: Market value of company equity;

r_D: pre-tax cost of debt;

r_E: cost of equity;

t: tax rate

Rearrange above formula a bit, we get:

WACC = (D/A) x r_D x (1-t) + (1 - D/A) x r_E

Putting all the numbers together, we have:

10.9% = (D/A) x 8.9% x (1 - 38%) + (1 - D/A) x 12%

Solve the equation, we get D/A = 17% or D/E = 0.2

So, target debt−equity ratio is 0.2
