Dickinson Company has $11,880,000 million in assets. Currently half of these assets are financed with long-term debt at 9.4 perc

ent and half with common stock having a par value of $8. Ms. Smith, Vice-President of Finance, wishes to analyze two refinancing plans, one with more debt (D) and one with more equity (E). The company earns a return on assets before interest and taxes of 9.4 percent. The tax rate is 40 percent. Tax loss carryover provisions apply, so negative tax amounts are permissable.
Under Plan D, a $2,970,000 million long-term bond would be sold at an interest rate of 11.4 percent and 371,250 shares of stock would be purchased in the market at $8 per share and retired.
Under Plan E, 371,250 shares of stock would be sold at $8 per share and the $2,970,000 in proceedswould be used to reduce long-term debt.

You receive a credit card application from Shady Banks Savings and Loan offering an introductory rate of 1.25 percent per year,
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

$793.70

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

At introductory rate

The rate is 17.8% per year

And, in monthly, the rate would be

= 1.25% ÷ 12 months

= 1.4833%

Time is 6 months

Amount after 6 month would be

= Balance × (1 + interest rate)^ time period

= $8,000 × (1 +  0.1042%)^6

= $8,050.15

The interest after 6 month is

= $8,050.15 - $8,000

= $50.15

Now for increase rate to 17.8%

The rate is 17.8% per year

And, in monthly, the rate would be

= 17.8% ÷ 12 months

= 1.4833%

Time is 6 months

Amount after 6 month would be

= Balance × (1 + interest rate)^ time period

= $8,050.14 × (1 + 1.4833%)^6

= $8,793.70

The interest after 6 month is

= $8793.70 - $8,050.15

= $743.55

So, the total interest would be

= $50.15 + $743.55

= $793.70

Cost flow relationships The following information is available for the first year of operations of Creston Inc., a manufacturer
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

Cost of goods sold= $7,395,300

Direct material cost= $3,727,200

Direct labor cost= $3,137,300

Explanation:

A. Calculation to Determine Cost of goods sold using this formula

Cost of goods sold = Sales - Gross Profit

Let plug in the formula

Cost of goods sold= $ 12,755,000 - 5,359,700

Cost of goods sold= $7,395,300

Therefore Cost of goods sold will be $7,395,300

B. Calculation to Determine Direct material cost using this formula

Direct material cost= Material purchased - Indirect materials - Material Inventory, end of period

Let plug in the formula

Direct material cost= 4,251,600 - 185,500 - 298,900

Direct material cost= $3,727,200

Therefore Direct material cost will be $3,727,200

c. Calculation to determine Direct labor cost using this formula

Direct labor cost= Total manufacturing cost - Direct material costs - other factory overhead - Indirect labor

Let plug in the formula

Direct labor cost= 8,122,000 - $3,727,200 - 834,900 - 422,600

Direct labor cost= $3,137,300

Therefore Direct labor cost will be $3,137,300
