Answer: 30.3%

Explanation:

Because taxes are not paid on municipal bond interest, their interest rates are usually lower with the difference accounting for the taxes paid.

For a municipal bond to be similar to a corporate bond, the tax rate must be such that it makes them equal:

Municipal bond return = Corporate bond return * (1  - tax rate)

5.75% = 8.25% * (1 - tax)

1 - tax rate = 5.75% / 8.25%

1 = 0.6969697 + Tax rate

Tax rate = 1 - 0.6969697

= 30.3%

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Option D is correct

Expected rate of return = 18.6%

Explanation:

The expected rate of return is the proportion of average investment that is earned as income . It is calculated as follows:

Rate of return on investment = average return / Average investment

Average investment = (Initial cost + salvage value)/ 2

Average investment = 89,000 +14,000/ 2= 51500

Net income = $9,600

Expected rate of return =  9,600/51,500×  100

                               = 18.6%

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

WACC = 0.08085  or  8.085% rounded off to 8.09%

Option c is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure that can contain one or more of the following components, namely debt, preferred stock and common equity. The formula to calculate the WACC is as follows,

WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate)  +  wP * rP  +  wE * rE

Where,

  • w represents the weight of each component
  • D, P and E represents debt, preferred stock and common equity respectively
  • r represents the cost of each component

We first need to calculate the weight of each stock. We know the basic accounting equation is,

Assets = Debt + Equity

We know the debt to equity ratio is 3. Then total assets will be,

Assets = 3 + 1

Assets = 4

Using the CAPM equation, we can calculate the cost of equity.

r = risk free rate  +  Beta  *  Market risk premium

r = 0.03  +  1.5  *  0.09

r = 0.165  or  16.5%

WACC = 3/4  *  0.08  *  (1 - 0.34)  +  1/4  *  0.165

WACC = 0.08085  or  8.085% rounded off to 8.09%

podryga [215]

Answer:

The corporation's current earnings and profits for 20X3 would be $603,000

Explanation:

The computation of the current earnings and profits are shown below:

= Taxable income - federal income taxes - disallowed penalty + insurance proceeds

= $800,000 - $272,000 - $25,000 + $100,000

= $603,000

The federal income tax refund would not be considered in the computation part. Hence, it is ignored.

Bauer Manufacturing uses departmental cost driver rates to allocate manufacturing overhead costs to products. Manufacturing over
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Manufacturing overhead costs are allocated based on machine-hours in the Machining Department and based on direct labor-hours in the Assembly Department.

Machining:

Machine-hours= 50,000

Manufacturing overhead costs= $ 280,000

Assembly:

Direct labor-hours= 40,000

Manufacturing overhead costs= $ 360,000

First, we need to calculate the estimated overhead rate for each department:

To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

<u>Machining:</u>

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 280,000/50,000= $5.6 per machine hour

<u>Assembly:</u>

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 360,000/40,000= $9 per direct labor hour

Now, we can allocate overhead to Job 316:

Machining Assembly

Direct labor-hours 120 75

Machine-hours 45 5

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Machining:

Allocated MOH= 5.6*45= $252

Assembly:

Allocated MOH= 9*75= $675
