Answer:

  • Invest $8,470 in X
  • Invest $2,530 in Y.

Explanation:

The following expressions can be formed;

Let x and y be the proportions

x + y = 1

0.15x + 0.1y = 13.85%

Expressing y in terms of x;

x + y = 1

y = 100 - x

0.15x + 0.1 ( 1 - x) = 13.85%

0.15x + 0.1 - 0.1x = 13.85%

0.05x = 13.85% - 0.1

x = 13.85%0.05 - 0.1/0.05

x = 77%

Invest 77% in X = 77% * 11,000

= $8,470‬

Invest in Y

= 11,000 - 8,470

= $2,530

Carney Company manufactures cappuccino makers. For the first eight months of 2019, the company reported the following operating
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Total  effect on income= $190,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales (500,000 units) $90,000,000

Cost of goods sold 54,000,000

Gross profit 36,000,000

Operating expenses 24,000,000

Net income $12,000,000

An analysis of costs and expenses reveals that the variable cost of goods sold is $95 per unit and variable operating expenses are $35 per unit. In September, Carney Company receives a special order for 40,000 machines at $135 each from a major coffee shop franchise. Acceptance of the order would result in $10,000 of shipping costs but no increase in fixed expenses

Because it is a special offer and there is unused capacity, we will not have into account the fixed costs.

Total unitary cost= 95 + 35 + (10,000/40,000)= 130.25

Contribution margin= 135 - 130.25= 4.75

Total  effect on income= 4.75*40,000= $190,000

For purposes of computing the WACC, if the book value of equity exceeds the market value of equity, then: the market value of eq
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The market value of equity should be used.

Explanation:

Their are only two methods which are book value method or market value method. The market value method is preferred because the reason is that the market value gives the more accurate numerical value that the securities of the company will give which is the required rate of return to its investors. However historic cost data is not useful because the value of stock and bonds keeps changing every second in the stock exchange and their is the risk that the WACC calculated is inaccurate which implies that the project appraised is also incorrect.

So the best way to calculate the weighted cost of capital is that we should use the fair value of the securities.
