Answer:

- 15.75%

Explanation:

The computation of the rate of return on his investment is shown below:

= (Year end investment value - investment value + annual dividend) ÷ (Investment value)

= ($2,000 - $2,400 + $22) ÷ ($2,400)

= -$378 ÷ 2,400

= - 15.75%

Simply we divided the difference of investment and added the annual dividend and then divided it by the investment value

  Quarter 4                                                                 <u>$ 31,000</u>

Total Year for direct labor                                       $ 130,200

Explanation:

Computation of raw material purchases

<u>Raw material consumption</u>

Qtr No of Units per qtr Total Requirement

1        9,000 * 7 gms per unit =      63,000 gms

2      12,000 * 7 gms per unit =      84,000 gms

3       11,000 * 7 gms per unit =      77,000 gms

4       10,000 * 7 gms per unit =     <u>70,000</u> gms

Total Year                                     294,000 gms

Raw Material Purchases for each quarter

Purchases = Closing inventory + Consumption - Opening inventory

1 21,000 (84,000gms * 25 % ) + 63,000 - 15.750 =  68,250 gms  

2 19,250 (77,000gms* 25 %) + 84,000 - 21,000 =  82,250 gms

3 17,500 ( 70,000gms* 25 %) + 77,000-19,250 =  75,250 gms

4 8,000 ( As per data) + 70,000-17.500            =  60,500 gms

Total year purchases =                                       =  286,250 gms

<u>Cost of purchases</u>

Quarter 1    68,250 gms  * $ 1.20     = $  81,900

Quarter 2   82,250 gms * $ 1.20      = $  98,700

Quarter 3   75,250 gms * $ 1,20     =  $ 90,300

Quarter 4   60,500 gms * $ 1,20    =   <u>$ 72,600</u>

Total purchases                                   $ 343,500

Computation of cash disbursements for purchases

Quarter 1 Payments = Opening Payables + 60 % of quarter 1

$ 5,600 + ( 60 %* $ 81,900) = $ 5,600 + $ 49,140 =               $ 54,740

Quarter 2 payments

(40 % of quarter 1) + ( 60 % of quarter 2)

($ 81,900 * 40 %) + ( $ 98,700 * 60 %)

$ 32,760 + $ 59,220                                               =                $ 91,980

Quarter 3 payments

(40 % of quarter 2) + ( 60 % of quarter 3)

($ 98,700 * 40 %) + ( $ 90,300 * 60 %)

$ 39,480 + $ 54,180                                                =                $ 93.660    

Quarter 4 payments

(40 % of quarter 3) + ( 60 % of quarter 4)

($ 90,300 * 40 %) + ( $ 72,600 * 60 %)

$ 36,120 + $ 43,560                                                =               <u> $ 79,680</u>

Total payments for purchases for the year                            $ 320,060

Computation of direct labor cost  

No of units * Estimated Direct labor hours * Labor rate per hour

Quarter 1  =    9,000 * 0.20 per unit * $ 15.50               =         $  27.900

Quarter 2  =   12,000 * 0.20 per unit * $ 15.50               =        $  37.200

Quarter 3       11,000 * 0.20 per unit * $ 15.50               =         $  34.100

Quarter 4       10,000 * 0.20 per unit * $ 15.50               =         <u>$  31.000</u>

Total cost for Direct labour                                                        $ 130,200

Mullineaux Corporation has a target capital structure of 70 percent common stock and 30 percent debt. Its cost of equity is 16 p
alexira [117]

Answer:

The company WACC is 13.30%

Explanation:

For computing the WACC, first we have to find the weight-age of both debt and equity.

Since in the question, the weightage of debt and equity is given which is equals to

Debt = 30%

And, Equity or common stock = 70%

So, we can easily compute the WACC. The formula is shown below

= Weighted of debt × cost of debt × (1- tax rate) + Weighted of equity × cost of equity

= 0.30 × 0.10 × (1 - 0.30) + 0.70 × 0.16

= 0.021 + 0.112

= 13.30%

Hence, the company WACC is 13.30%
