Answer:

a. (i) $1.40

(ii) $190,000

b. $3,410,000

Explanation:

The computation of fixed cost of maintenance annually and the variable cost of maintenance per visitor is shown below:-

a. (i) Variable cost per visitor = (Maintenance cost at highest number of visitors - Maintenance cost at lowest number of visitors) ÷ (Highest number of visitor - Lowest number of visitor)

= ($3,830,000 - $2,773,000) ÷ ($2,600,000 - $1,845,000)

= $1,057,000 ÷ $755,000

= $1.40

(ii) Fixed cost of maintenance = Total costs - Variable cost at that level

= $2,773,000 - $1,845,000 × $1.40

= $2,773,000 - $2,583,000

= $190,000

b. The computation of estimated maintenance costs is shown below:-

Estimated maintenance costs = Fixed costs + Variable cost per visitors × Number of visitors

= $190,000 + 2,300,000 × $1.40

= $190,000 + $3,220,000

= $3,410,000

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

COGS    3807 debit

FG          7896 debit

WIP         2397 debit

  Factory Overhead  14,100 credit

--to record the underapplication of overhead--

Explanation:

overhead rate:

\frac{Cost\: Of \:Manufacturing \:Overhead}{Cost \:Driver}= Overhead \:Rate

$515,000 overhead /  515,000 labor cost = $1

each labor cost generates a dollar of overhead.

221,400 x 1 =   221,400 overhead in COGS

459,200 x 1 = 459,200 overhead in Finished Goods

139,400 x 1 =   139,400 overhead in WIP inventory

Total applied  820,000

Actual            805,900

Underapplied    14,100

Now we weight each concept and determiante the portion underapplocated in each concept

You are given the following information concerning Parrothead Enterprises: Debt: 9,300 7.4 percent coupon bonds outstanding, wit
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

a. Cost of debt = 5.03%.

b. Cost of equity = 11.47%

c. Cost of preferred stock = 4.90%

Explanation:

a. Calculation of cost of debt

The bond's Yield to Maturity is the before tax cost of debt and it can be calculated using the following RATE function in Excel:

YTM = RATE(nper,pmt,-pv,fv) * 2 .............(1)

Where;

YTM = yield to maturity = ?

nper = number of periods = number of semiannuals to maturity = Number of years * Number of semiannuals in a year = 21 * 2 = 42

r = semiannual coupon rate = Annual coupon rate / 2 = 7.4% / 2 = 0.074 / 2 = 0.037

pmt = semiannual coupon payment = semiannual coupon rate * Face value = 0.037 * $2,000 = $74 = 74

pv = present value = quoted bond price = 108.75% * fv = 108.75% * 2000 = 2,175 = 2175

fv = face value or par value of the bond = 2000

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

YTM = RATE(42,74,-2175,2000) * 2 ............ (2)

Inputting =RATE(42,74,-2175,2000)*2 into excel (Note: as done in the attached excel file), the YTM is obtained as 6.62%.

Therefore, we have:

After tax cost of debt = YTM * (100% - Tax rate) = 6.62% * (100% - 24%) = 5.03%

Therefore, cost of debt is 5.03%.

b. Calculation of cost of equity

Based on the information in the question, the return on equity can be calculated using the dividend discount model and capital asset pricing model (CAPM) formulae.

b-1. Using the dividend discount model formula, we have:

P = D1 / (r – g) ………………………. (3)

Where:

P = Common stock selling price per share = $66.40

D1 = Next year dividend = $4.60

r = return on equity = ?

g = dividend growth rate = 5.4%, or 0.054

Substituting the value into equation (3) and solve for r, we have:

66.40 = 4.60 / (r – 0.054)

66.40(r – 0.054) = 4.60

66.40r - 3.5856 = 4.60

66.40r = 4.60 + 3.5856

66.40r = 8.1856

r = 8.1856 / 66.40

r = 0.1233, or 12.33%

b-2. Using CAMP formula, cost of equity can be calculated as follows:

Return on equity = Risk free rate + Stock beta(Expected return – Risk free rate) = 4.55% + (1.09 * (10.1% - 4.55%)) = 10.60%

b-3. The cost of equity can therefore be calculated as the average of the returns of equity from the two formulae is as follows:

Cost of equity = (12.33% + 10.60%) / 2 = 11.47%

c. Calculation of cost preferred stock

Note that since the preferred stock selling price per share is $95.90, it indicates that it par value is $100 and is being sold at a discount. Therefore, we have:

Cost of preferred stock = (Preferred stock dividend rate * Preferred stock par value) / Preferred stock selling price per share = (4.70% * 100) / 95.90 = 0.0490, or 4.90%
