Answer:

b. 8.82%

Explanation:

WACC = Cost of equity x Weight of equity + Cost of Preferred Stock x Weight of Preferred Stock + Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt

Cost of Preferred Stock calculation :

Cost of Preferred Stock = Expected dividend / Market Price x 100

                                        = $6 / $50 x 100

                                        = 12 %

After tax cost of debt calculation :

After tax cost of debt = Interest x (1 - tax rate)

                                    = 8 % x (1 - 0.35)

                                    = 5.20 %

therefore,

WACC = 15% x 30 % + 12 % x 10 %+ 5.20 % x 60 %

           = 8.82 %

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

350,000

And if done per unit, $3.50

Explanation:

Both sales and variable cost are dependent on the number of units sold.

The sales less the variable cost gives the contribution margin. The contribution margin less the fixed cost gives the net operating income.

The target cost of the product is the difference between the selling price and the anticipated profit.

Target cost per unit

= $6.00 - $2.50

= $3.50

Total Target cost = $3.50 * 100,000

= $350,000

Minor company installs a machine in its factory at the beginning of the year at a cost of $135,000. the machine's useful life is
sveticcg [70]

To determine what the depreciation of an asset using straight line method, the formula to be used is:

(Initial cost of machine – salvage value) divided by estimated useful life


So in this problem:

Initial Cost - $135000

Salvage Value – $15000

Estimated Useful Life – 5 years

Plug that in the formula


Annual depreciation = ($135000 - $15000) / 5

= $120000/ 5

= $24,000


The first year depreciation for the machine is $24000 because the company bought it in the beginning of the year. (So there is no need to divide this by 12 months)

To record this:

Depreciation Expense $24000

<span>          Accumulated Depreciation $24000</span>
