Answer:

$8,586,000

Explanation:

market price for Littlelaser $100 per unit

units sold 106,000

total revenue generated by Littlelaser = $100 x 106,000 = $10,600,000

required investment = $8,056,000

since the investors require a return on investment of 25%, then the profits generated by Littlelaser should be:

ROI = net income / total investment

25% x $8,056,00 = net income

net income = $2,014,000

target cost = total revenue - net income = $10,600,000 - $2,014,000 = $8,586,000

total revenue $10,600,000

<u>- total cost $8,596,000    </u>

net income $2,014,000

The market value of​ Fords' equity, preferred​ stock, and debt are $ 7 ​billion, $ 2 ​billion, and $ 15 ​billion, respectively.
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Ford's weighted average cost of capital is 8.22 %

Explanation:

Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) is the minimum return that the company expect from a project. It shows the risk of the company.

Calculation of WACC

WACC = Cost of equity + Cost of preferred​ stock + Cost of debt

Capital Source       Market Values     Weight      Cost      Total Cost

equity                         $ 7 ​billion          29.17%      13.6%       3.97 %

preferred​ stock         $ 2 ​billion            8.33%      12%          1.00 %

debt                           $ 15 ​billion         62.50%     5.2 %       3.25%

Total                          $ 24 billion                                          8.22 %

Cost of equity = Risk free rate + Beta × Risk Premium

                       =  4% + 1.2 × 8%

                       =  13.6%

Cost of preferred​ stock = Dividend/Market Price

                                       = $ 3/ $ 25 × 100

                                       = 12%

Cost of debt = interest × (1- tax rate)

                    = 8% × (1-0.35)

                    = 5.2 %

motikmotik

Answer: To keep the customer base

Explanation: The consumers find it unfair when the firms increase their prices continuously even though there was an increase in demand from the last increase in price.

That's the reason why firms do not increase their prices even though it will increase their profits.

guapka [62]

Answer:

4300 units would cost  $ 898461 or $ 208.9 ≅ $ 209 per unit

Explanation:

Production Volume                   4,000 Units       5,000 Units

Direct Materials                 $85.80 per unit        $85.80 per unit

Direct Labor                     $56.10 per unit             $56.10 per unit

Manufacturing overhead   $73.60 per unit           $62.10 per unit

Total Manufacturing Costs   $ 215.5 per unit         $ 203.7 per unit

The best estimate of the total cost to manufacture 4,300

4000 units at $ 215.5 = $ 862,000

5000 units at $ 203.7= $1018500

9000 units would Cost = $ 862,000+$1018500= $ 1880500

We have taken the total of the two costs and then divided with the number of 9000 units to get an average price as the fixed costs are decreasing as the number of units increase from 4000 to 5000.

4300 units would cost = $ 1880500/ 9000 * 4300= $ 898461 or $ 208.9 ≅

$ 209 per unit
