Tpy6a [65]

The company's external equity comes from those funds raised from public issuance of shares or rights. The cost of external equity is the minimum rate of return which the shareholders supply new funds by purchasing new shares to prevent the decline of the market value of the shares. To compute the cost of external equity, we should use this formula:

Ke = (DIV 1 / Po) + g

Ke = cost of external equity

DIV 1 = dividend to be paid next year

Po = market price of share

g = growth rate

In the problem, the estimated dividend to be paid next year is $1.50. The market price is $18.50 and the growth rate is 4%.

Substituting the given to the formulas, we need to divide $1.50 by $18.50 giving us the result of 8.11% plus the growth rate; this would yield to the result of 12.11% cost of external equity.

The common stock of sweet treats is valued at $10.80 a share. the company increases its dividend by 8 percent annually and expec

N76 [4]

Using the Gordon Growth Model (a.k.a. Dividend Discount Model), the intrinsic value of a stock can be calculated, exclusive of current market conditions. In this model, the value of the stock is equated to the present value of the stock's future dividends.

Value of stock (P0) = D1 / (k - g)

where
D1 = expected annual dividend per share in the following year 
k = the investor's discount rate or required rate of return
g = the expected dividend growth rate

From the problem:
The value of stock is $10.80
D1 is $0.40
g is 0.08

k is unknown

Solution:
Rearranging the equation for Gordon Growth Model to solve for k:

k = (D1/P0) + g

Substituting the variables with the given values,

k = (0.40/10.80) + 0.08
k = 0.1170

In percent form, this is
0.1170 * 100% = 11.70%.

Thus, the total rate of return on the stock is 11.70%.

Uli produces stereo speakers. The selling price per pair of speakers is $1,930. There is no beginning inventory. Costs involved

blondinia [14]

Answer:

Ending inventory= $240,840

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Total variable manufacturing costs per unit $470

Fixed manufacturing overhead per year $679,420

During the year, Uli produces 1,610 pairs of speakers and sells 1,340 pairs.

The full costing method (absorption costing) includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead. 

First, we need to calculate the total production cost:

Total cost= 1,610*470 + 679,420

Total cost= $1,436,120

Now, the unitary cost and ending inventory cost:

Unitary cost= 1,436,120/1,610= $892

Ending inventory= $892*270 units

Ending inventory= $240,840

Payment of insurance premium include in last quarter = $816,000 / 4

Payment of insurance premium include in last quarter = $204,000

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

a. What is the company’s WACC?

R_Wacc = 13% (65%) + 5% (5%) + 6% (30%) * (1-0,25) = 10,05%

b. What is the aftertax cost of debt?

The aftertax cost of debt is:

R_Debt : (1 - 0,25) x 6% = 4,50%

Explanation:

The WACC it's defined by the formula :

WACC: E/V*Re + D/V*Rd *(1-0,25)

Re: 13,00% Cost of Common Equity

Re: 5,00% Cost of Preferred STOCK

Re: 6% Cost of Debt

E/V: 65% Percentage of financing that is Common Equity

PS/V: 5% Percentage of financing that is Preferred Stock

DB/V: 30% Percentage of financing that is Debt

Tax: 25% Corporate tax rate

Now we have all of the components to calculate the WACC.

The WACC is:

R_Wacc = 13% (65%) + 5% (5%) + 6% (30%)*(1-0,25) = 10,05%

The aftertax cost of debt is:

R_Debt : (1 - 0,25) x 6% = 4,50%
