Answer:
5.4%
Explanation:
Several years ago the Haverford Company sold a $1,000 par value bond that now has 25 years to maturity and an 8.00% annual coupon that is paid quarterly. The bond currently sells for $900.90, and the company’s tax rate is 40%. What is the component cost of debt for use in the WACC calculation
Face value of bond = coupon amount / interest rate
1000 = 80 / 8%
Therefore 900.9 = 80 / revised interest rate
multiply both sides by the 'revised interest rate
revised interest rate x 900.9 = 80
Hence, revised interest rate = 80 / 900.9 = 9%
Secondly if the company’s tax rate is 40%, the component cost of debt for use in the WACC calculation = kd (1 - t)
where:
kd = Cost of debt
t = tax rate
Therefore cost of debt for use in the WACC calculation = 9% (1-0.4) = 5.4%

Answer:
Direct Material Cost
= Cost of hardware + cost of wood
= 42,300 + 121,200
= $163,500
Direct labor
= Wages of Assembly workers + Finishing workers
= 87,400 + 74,100
= $161,500
Manufacturing Overhead
= Depreciation + Factory prop. taxes + Factory rent + Glue + Production Supervisor salary + Utilities for factory + Wages for maintenance workers
= 32,000 + 15,500 + 50,000 + 3,030 + 41,200 + 27,800 + 33,200
= $202,730
Prime Cost
= Direct labor + Direct material
= 161,500 + 163,500
= $325,000
Conversion Cost
= Direct labor + Manufacturing Overhead
= 161,500 + 202,730
= $364,230
Total Period Cost
= Advertising + Sales Manager's salary
= 25,600 + 41,500
= $67,100
