Answer:

b) 9.05 percent

Explanation:

The computation of the firm before tax cost of debt is shown below:

The Weight of debt is

= 100 - 70

=30%

Now  

WACC = Respective cost × Respective weight

11 = (0.7 × 13) + (0.3 × Cost of debt)

11 = 9.1 + (0.3 × Cost of debt)

Cost of debt = (11 - 9.1) ÷ 0.3

= 6.333%(Approx)

Now

Pre-tax Cost of debt is

= Cost of debt ÷ (1 - tax rate)

= 6.333 ÷ (1 - 0.3)

= 9.05%

hence, the correct option is b.

A company has a processing department with 10 stations. Because of the nature and use of three of these stations, each is consid
julsineya [31]

Answer:

CC100  has $31.25 per hour

CC11O has $250 per hour

CC120 has $62.5 per hour

CC190 has $62.5 per hour

Explanation:

The IDC rate for each department would be the department IDC allocated divided by operating hours as shown below:

CC100

IDC rate=$25,000/800=$31.25 per hour

CC110

IDC rate=$50,000/200=$250 per hour

CC120

IDC rate=$75,000/1200=$62.5 per hour

CC190

IDC rate=$100,000/1600=$62.5 per hour

Judging from the IDC rates of the departments,department CCC110 seems to have the highest IDC rate per hour,which implies that each hour is charged with $250 against the CC100 where each operating hours is just $31.25.

The higher the IDC rate in a department the higher the cost of the output of that department since the cost has to be recovered from output.

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

The answers are:

  1. The CPI for 2009 is 100 (since it is the base year)
  2. The CPI for 2010 is 129.17
  3. The inflation rate for 2010 is 29.17%

Explanation:

<u>CPI basket for 2009</u>

  • 6 razors x $20 per razor = $120
  • 4 bottles of cologne x $30 per bottle = $120

The total value of the CPI basket for 2009 is $240

<u>CPI basket for 2010</u>

  • 6 razors x $25 per razor = $150
  • 4 bottles of cologne x $40 per bottle = $160

The total value of the CPI basket for 2010 is $310

  1. The CPI for 2009 is 100, since it is the base year
  2. The CPI for 2010 = (CPI basket 2010 / CPI basket 2009) x 100 = ($310 / $240) x 100 = 129.17
  3. The inflation rate for 2010 = [(CPI basket 2010 / CPI basket 2009) - 1] x 100 = (1.2917 - 1) x 100% = 29.17%
