Answer:

10.18%

Explanation:

The computation of the WACC is shown below:

But before that following calculation is to be done

The value of debt is

= 14000 × $1,000 × 107%

= $14,980,000

The value of equity is

= 470,000 × $65

= $30,550,000

The value of preferred stock is

= 20,500 × $86

= $1,763,000

Now

value of total capital is

= $14,980,000  + $30,550,000 + $1,763,000

= $47,293,000

Now we find the cost of debt using excel function i.e.

= RATE(nper,pmt,pv,fv)) × 2

= RATE(29 × 2,1000 × 6.3% ÷ 2,-1000 × 107%,1000)) ×2

= 5.80%

Now  

Cost of common stock is

= 5.2% + 1.16 × 7%

= 13.32%

cost of preferred stock is

= (100 × 4.1%) ÷ 86

= 4.77%

Now finally  

WACC = weight of debt × cost of debt ×(1 - tax rate) + weight of equity × cost of equity + weight of preferred stock ×cost of preferred stock

= ($14,980,000 ÷ $47,293,000) × 5.80% × (1  - 24%)+($30,550,000 ÷ $47,293,000) × 13.32% + ($1,763,000 ÷ $47,293,000) ×4.77%

= 10.18%

dem82 [27]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Inventory, Beginning: 300 units at $ 12

For the year:

Purchase, April 11:  900 units at  $10

Purchase, June 1: 800 units at  $13

Sale, May 1 (sold for $40 per unit) 300

Sale, July 3 (sold for $40 per unit) 600

Units sold= 900 units

Inventory= 2000 - 900= 1,100 units

We will assume periodic inventory:

FIFO (first-in, first-out)

COGS= 300*12 + 600*10= $9,600

Inventory= 300*10 + 800*13= $13,400

LIFO (last-in, first-out)

COGS= 800*13 + 100*10= $11,400

Inventory= 800*10 + 300*12= $11,600
