Answer:

WACC = 0.16637 OR 16.637%

Explanation:

WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure which can comprise of debt, preferred stock and common equity. The WACC for a firm with only debt and common equity can be calculated as follows,

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

Where,

  • w represents the weight of each component based on market value in the capital structure
  • r represents the cost of each component
  • D and E represents debt and equity respectively

To calculate WACC, we first need to calculate the Market value an cost of equity.

The market value of equity = 30 million shares * $40 per share

MV of equity = $1200 million

The cost of equity can be found using the formula for Price today (P0) under constant growth model of DDM.

P0 = D1 / (r - g)

40 = 4 / (r - 0.07)

40 * (r - 0.07) = 4

40r - 2.8 = 4

40r = 4+2.8

r = 6.8 / 40

r = 0.17 or 17%

MV of debt = 40 million * 96.5%  => $38.6 million

Total MV of capital structure = 38.6 + 1200 = 1238.6 million

WACC = 38.6/1238.6  *  0.08  *  (1-0.33)  +  1200/1238.6  *  0.17

WACC = 0.16637 OR 16.637%

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

$2.50

Explanation:

Calculation for the estimation of   variable cost per unit

                        Units     Total cost

High method  15,000×$5  per units  =$75,000

(5,000*3)=15,000

Low  method  5,000*$10 per units=$50,000

Difference  10,000     $25,000  

Variable cost per unit =$25,000/10,000

Variable cost per unit=$2.50

Note: Based on the information given we were told that production tripled to its highest level which means the high method units will be 15,000 units (5,000 units*3)

Therefore Fremont would estimate its variable cost per unit as: $2.50
