Answer:

the weighted average cost of capital is 9.22 %.

Explanation:

Weighted average cost of capital is the weighted return required by all providers of <u>permanent sources</u> of finance to the Company.

<em>WACC = ke × (e/v) + kp × (p/v) + kd × (d/v)</em>

where,

ke = cost of equity

    = 12.40 %

e/v = weight of equity

     = ($22 × 105,000) ÷ ($22 × 105,000 + $45 × 25,000 + $1,500,000 × 98%)

     = 0.4709

kp = cost of preference stock

    = 8.00 %

p /v = weight of preference stock

      = ($45 × 25,000) ÷ ($22 × 105,000 + $45 × 25,000 + $1,500,000 × 98%)

      = 0.2294

kd = cost of debt

    = Interest × ( 1 - tax rate)

    = 7.80 % × (1 - 0.34)

    = 5.148%

d/v = weight of debt

     = ($1,500,000 × 98%) ÷ ($22 × 105,000 + $45 × 25,000 + $1,500,000 × 98%)

     = 0.2997

Therefore,

WACC = 12.40 % × 0.4709 + 8.00 % × 0.2294 + 5.148% × 0.2997

           = 9.22 %

Maslowich
The company should accept the special order because it will get an additional profit of $4,000 ($12,500 - $7,500 - $1,000) for the special order. This additional profit amount can be acquired by separating the effect from the special order on each cost and sales of the company's business. The sales should increase by $12,500 ($5 x 2500 unit) amount if the job is taken and the variable cost should increase by $7,500 ($3 x 2500 unit). Lastly, the fixed cost should increase by $1,000 (the new machine).

Answer:

Answer 1.

DVD Equipment Set Yoga Mat

Sale in Units 13500 4500 9000

Sale Mix 3 1 2

Sales Mix Ratio = 3:1:2

Answer 2.

Let the Break Even Sales = X Units

Therefore, Linear equation of BEP:

3/6 X (8-4) + 1/6 X (25-15) + 2/6 X (16-9) = 119520 (Fixed Costs)

X = 19920 Units

BEP of

DVD = 19,920 Units X 3/6 = 9960 Units

Equipment Set = 19,920 Units X 1/6 = 3320 Units

Yoga Mat = 19920 Units X 2/6 = 6640 Units

Answer 3.

DVD Equipment Set Yoga Mat Total

Sale in Units 13,500 4,500 9,000 27,000

SP 8 25 16

Sales in $ 108,000 112,500 144,000 364,500

Less: Variable Costs 54,000 67,500 81,000 202,500

Contribution 54,000 45,000 63,000 162,000

Contribution Margin Ratio 50.00% 40.00% 43.75% 44.44%

Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution / Sales

Overall Break Even Sales Revenue = $119520 (Fixed Costs) / 44.44% (Contribution Margin Ratio)

Overall Break Even Sales Revenue = $268,920

Answer 4.

Margin of Safety = Sales - BES

Margin of Safety = $364,500 - 268920 = $95,580

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

$60,500

Explanation:

With regards to the above, the write off does not affect the realizable value of accounts receivables. Also, the total asset or net income is not affected by the write off or specific account. Instead, both assets and net income are affected in the period when bad debt expense is predicted and then recorded with an adjusting entry.

Accounts receivables

$550,000

Less:

Allowance for doubtful account

($550,00 × 2.5%)

($13,750)

Estimated realizable accounts receivables

$536,250

If the amount of bad debt decreases or increases as given below, then the income is also increased or decreased by the amount given.

Bad debts = $13,750

Uncollectible previously written off = $8,800

Difference

$4,950

Net income

$60,500

Less:

Difference

($4,950)
