of the equipment is $2,000,000. It is estimated that the aftertax cash inflows from the project will be $210,000 annually forever. Hartley has a debt-to-value ratio of 60 percent. The firm's cost of equity is 13 percent and its pre-tax cost of debt is 8 percent. The tax rate is 34 percent. What is Hartley's weighted average cost of capital (WACC)?A) 6.09 percentB) 8.37 percentC) 8.95 percentD) 9.05 percentE) 9.91 percent

Answer:

None of the above

The weighted average cost of capital is 10.8%

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the weighted average flotation costs is

fA = fE x RE + fD x RD x (1-Tc)

Where fA is the weighted average flotation cost

fE is the flotation cost of equity = 8%

fD is the flotation cost of debt =2%

RE is the cost of equity = 13%

RD is the cost of debt = 8%

Tc is the tax rate = 34%

Substituting these values in the above equation, we get

fA = 0.08 x 0.13 + 0.02 x 0.08 x (1-0.34)

= 0.0104 + 0.001056

= 0.11456 or 11.456%

Therefore, the weighted average flotation cost are 11.456%

Givent he debt-equity ratio is 60% or 0.6

We know that Debt + Equity = 100% or 1.0

The value of debt(D/V) = 0.6 / 1.60 = 0.375

The value of equity (E/V) = 1 / 1.60 = 0.625

Calculating the weighted average cost of capital

WACC = (E/V) x RE + (D/V) x RD x (1 - Tc)

         = 0.625 x 0.13 + 0.375 x 0.08 x 0.66

         = 0.09282 + 0.0151

         = 0.10792 or 10.792%

Therefore, the weighted average cost of capital is 10.8%

Pizza Vesuvio makes specialty pizzas. Data for the past 8 months were collected: Month Labor Cost($) Employee Hours January 9,29
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

1. $2,296

2. $19.58

3. Total labor cost = Fixed cost + (variable cost × employee hour)

Explanation:

The computations are shown below:

1. The fixed cost would be

= High labor cost - (High employee hours × Variable rate per hour)

= $10,324  - (410 hours × $19.58)

= $10,324 - $8,028

= $2,296

2. Variable rate per hour = (High labor cost - low labor cost) ÷ (High employee hours - low employee hours)

= ($10,324 - $6,800) ÷ (410 hours - 230 hours)

= $3,524 ÷ 180 hours

= $19.58

3. The cost formula would be

Total labor cost = Fixed cost + (variable cost × employee hour)

                          = $2,296 + ($19.58 × employee hour)

A customer invests 50000. 10 years later, the investment is worth 100000. the customers annual compouned rate of return is?
9966 [12]

<u>Answer:</u> The rate of interest is 7.18 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the rate of interest, we use the equation used for the interest compounded monthly follows:

A=P(1+\frac{R}{n})^{nT}

A = Amount after time period 'T' = $100,000

P = Principal amount = $50,000

R = rate of interest = ?

n = Number of times interest applied per time period = 1   (annually)

T = time period = 10 years

Putting values in above equation, we get:

100,000=50,000(1+\frac{R}{1})^{1\times 10}\\\\R=0.0718

Calculating the rate of interest in percentage:

\Rightarrow R\times 100=0.0718\times 100=7.18\%

Hence, the rate of interest is 7.18 %
