Answer:

Cost of equity is 11.2%

WACC is 8.74%

Explanation:

The formula for cost of equity is given below:

Cost of equity=risk free rate+(Beta *risk premium)

risk free rate is the treasury bill rate of 4%

Beta is 0.9

market risk premium is 8%

cost of equity=4%+(0.9*8%)=11.2%

WACC=Ke*E/V+Kd*D/V*(1-t)

Ke is the cost of equity of 11.2%

Kd is the cost of debt of 5%

t is the tax rate of 40% or 0.4

E is the equity weighting of 70% or 0.7

D is the debt weighting of 30% or 0.3

V is the E+D=0.7+0.3=1

WACC=11.20% *0.7/1+(5%*0.3/1*(1-0.4)

WACC=7.84% +0.90% =8.74%

A company issues $16200000, 5.8%, 20-year bonds to yield 6% on January 1, 2020. Interest is paid on June 30 and December 31. The
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

The amount of interest expense which will be recognized in 2020 is $949,681.45.

Explanation:

The following are given in the question:

Bond value = $16200000

Bond interest rate = 5.8%

Proceed from bond = $15825541

Yield rate = 6%

The amount of interest expense which will be recognized in 2020 can now be calculated as follows:

Interest expense for January 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020 = Proceed from bond * Yield rate * (6 / 12) = $15825541 * 6% * (6 / 12) = $474,766.23

Discount amortized during first 6 months = Interest expense for January 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020 - (Bond value * Bond interest rate * (6 / 12)) = $474,766.23 - ($16200000 * 5.8% * (6 / 12)) = $474,766.23 - 469,800 = $4,966.23

Interest expense for July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020 = (Proceed from bond + Discount amortized during first 6 months) * Yield rate * (6 / 12) = ($15825541 + $4,966.23) * 6% * (6 / 12) = $474,915.22

Interest expense to be recognized in 2020 = Interest expense for January 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020 + Interest expense for July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020 = $474,766.23 + $474,915.22 = $949,681.45

Therefore, the amount of interest expense which will be recognized in 2020 is $949,681.45.

Crane Machine Works produces soft serve ice cream freezers. The freezers sell for $17,000, and variable costs total $12,100 per
ycow [4]

Answer:

7,451

Explanation:

The net income is the profit/loss made after the deduction of all expenses from the revenue or sales made including taxes.

The cost elements includes the fixed cost and the variable cost which is dependent on the level of activities.

Given,

Fixed cost = $25,860,000

Variable cost per unit = $12,100

Selling price per unit = $17,000

Tax rate = 28%

Net income planned = $7,668,000

Let the number of freezers to be sold be p

17000p - (12100p + 25,860,000) - 0.28((17000p - (12100p + 25,860,000))= 7,668,000

0.72((17000p - (12100p + 25,860,000)) = 7,668,000

3528p = 7,668,000 + 18619200   = 26287200

p = 26287200  /3528

p = 7451

Crane Machine Works would have to sell 7,451 freezers to make a net profit of $7,668,000.
