Answer:

A. 8.15

Explanation:

WACC is the firm's weighted average cost for the capital that is employed from different sources which includes common equity, preferred equity and debt.

In order to calculate WACC, the weighted average cost of each capital is added, so the formula becomes:

WACC = (E x %E) + (D x (1 - Tax) x %D) + (PE x %PE)

E = Common equity

D = Debt

PE = Preferred equity

%E = Common equity / total capital

%D = Debt / total capital

%PE = Preferred equity / total capital

Tax = Tax rate

<em>Interest on debt is a tax deductible expense therefore the interest rate is taken after accounting for tax in order to calculate WACC.</em>

<u>Calculation:</u>

Using the above formula we can calculate WACC

WACC = (11.25% x 55%) + (6.5% x (1-40%) x 35%) + (6% x 10%)

WACC = 0.0815 or 8.15%

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

When there is no change in the beginning and ending units of inventory i.e the  units sold are equal to the units produced,the income under variable and absorption costing remains the same which is the condition in the given question.

Explanation:

If we have 80,000 units produced and sold then the income under both methods will be the same.

Manta Ray Company

Income Statement Variable Costing

Sales                $40*80,000=  $ 3200,000

Variable Costs $ 31*80,000=  $ 2480,000

Contribution Margin  $ 720,000

Less Fixed Costs $  $712,800

Gross Profit $ 7200

Manta Ray Company

Income Statement Absorption Costing

Sales                $40*80,000=  $ 3200,000

Variable Costs $ 31*80,000=  $ 2480,000

Fixed Costs $  $712,800

Gross Profit $ 7200

When there is no change in the beginning and ending units of inventory i.e the  units sold are equal to the units produced,the income under variable and absorption costing remains the same which is the condition in the given question.

If there is an increase in the inventory units ( ie. production is less than the Sales) the fixed manufacturing overhead cost is released from inventory and deducted from variable income.

Similarly when the inventory units decrease  ( ie. production is more than the Sales)  the fixed manufacturing overhead cost is deferred from inventory and added to variable income.

Darth Company sells three products. Sales and contribution margin ratios for the three products follow:
lukranit [14]

Answer:

C. 31.25%.

Explanation:

PRODUCTS                   X               Y                 Z               Total

Sales in dollars         $20,000   $40,000   $100,000     $160,000

CM ratio                     45%              40%           25%

Contribution margin ratio can be calculated by weighted average method base on the sales ratio of each product.

Contribution margin as a whole = ( CM ratio of X x Ratio of X in total sales ) + ( CM ratio of Y x Ratio of Y in total sales ) + ( CM ratio of Z x Ratio of Z in total sales )

Contribution margin as a whole = ( 45% x $20,000 / $160,000 ) + ( 40% x $40,000 / $160,000 ) + ( 25% x $100,000 / $160,000 )

Contribution margin as a whole = 5.625% + 10% + 15.625% = 31.25%
