Answer:

None of the choices is correct , please find step by step explanation to get the WACC below.

Explanation:

First, find the pretax cost of debt. Using a financial calculator, input the following;

Maturity of the bond; N = 25

Price of the bond; PV = -(0.97 *1000) = -970

Annual coupon payment; PMT = 0.10*1000 = 100

Face value of the bond ; FV = 1000

then CPT I/Y = 10.339% (this is the pretax cost of debt rD)

Next, find the cost of equity; rE = (D1/Price) +g

rE = (1/15) + 0.05

rE = 0.0667 + 0.05

rE = 0.1167 or 11.67%

Market value of equity=  5,000,000 *$15 = $75,000,000

Market value of debt = 0.97 *$10,000,000 = $9,700,000

Total market value = 75,000,000 +9,700,000 = $84,700,000

WACC = wE*rE + wD*rD(1-tax)

wE; weight of equity = 75,000,000/84,700,000 = 0.8855

wD; weight of debt = 9,700,000 / 84,700,000 = 0.1145

WACC = (0.8855*  0.1167) + [ 0.1034(1-0.30)]

WACC = 0.1033 + 0.0724

WACC = 0.1757 or 17.57%

Why do overhead costs often shift from high-volume products to low-volume products when a company switches from a conventional c
sashaice [31]

Answer:

When a company is using conventional costing methods, the costs are allocated based on volume so those products with a high volume will get a higher share of the costs.

When Activity-based costing is used however, costs are assigned more accurately which will lead to the actual products that are causing the costs incurring them instead of those high-volume products so it will appear as though overhead costs have shifted from high-volume products to low-volume products.

Mama L [17]

Answer:

She better lease a car for work.

Explanation:

The most significant distinction between a lease and a rental agreement is the length of time they are valid for. In most cases, a rental agreement is for a short length of time (typically 30 days), but a lease contract is for a longer amount of time (generally 12 months, although 6 and 18-month leases are also frequent). So it's better to lease a car because you can use it longer.
