Answer:

C. $25,960

Explanation:

Cost of asset includes all the cost involved to acquire and install the asset. In simple term all the costs that are necessary to make the asset usable are capitalised and added to the cost of the asset.

In this question stamping machine has following cost which need to be capitalised.

Discounted Price = $24,000 x ( 100% - 3% ) = $24,000 x 97% = $23,280

Transportation cost = $550

Sales Tax = $1,680

Installation cost = $450

Total cost to be capitalized = $23,280 + $550 + $1,680 + $450 = $25,960

Routine Maintenance cost is the routine / period cost which incur every month, It is not necessary to make the asset usable and it is incurred after the asset is used.

Answer:

C. $25,960

Explanation:

The cost of an asset includes all cos incurred in making the asset available for use. These includes the cost of the item net all discounts, sales tax, freight cost etc.

As long as the cost is necessary for the asset to be available for use, such cost will be capitalized with the cost of the item of asset. Other cost such as maintenance, insurance costs are expensed and not considered as a part of the cost of the asset.

Hence, the cost recorded for the machine

= (100 -3)% *$24,000 + $550 + $1,680 + $450

= $25,960

A "Name That Tune" contest has a grand prize of $500,000. However, the contest stipulates that the winner will receive just $200
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is (C) $401,302

Explanation:

To get how much the contest winner actually won, we have to calculate the amount receive at the end of each year discounted at this moment. Then,  we added  all the payments.  

For example, the first payment in  $200,000 at this moment,  so we add  $200,000.  

At the end of the first year we receive $30,000, and the rate of discount is 8%

The formula of discount is P=A/ (1+r)ⁿ

A=Final amount  

P= Principal

r= interest rate

n= time

Year 1 = A/ (1+r)ⁿ =$30,000/1,08¹= 27777,77

Year 2 =$30,000/1,08²= 25720,16

Year 3=23814,96

Year 4=22050,89

Year 5=20417,49

Year 6=18905,08

Year 7=17504,71

Year 8=16208,06

Year 9=15007,46

Year 10=13895,80

 

Total  401302,44

GenX has a target capital structure of 40 percent common stock, 5 percent preferred stock, and 55 percent debt. Its cost of equi
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

12.085 %

Explanation:

WACC = Cost of Equity x Weight of Equity + Cost of Preference Stock x Weight of Preference Stock + Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt

Remember to use the after tax cost of debt :

after tax cost of debt = interest x ( 1 - tax rate)

                                   = 8.00 % x (1 - 0.35)

                                   = 5.20 %

therefore,

WACC = 22.00 % x 0.40 + 8.50 % x 0.05 + 5.20 % x 0.55

           = 12.085 %

thus

the firm's WACC given a tax rate of 35 percent is 12.085 %
