Answer:

c. sunk cost.

XYZ Company earned operating income of $1,500,000 before income taxes. Capital employed equaled $10,000,000, of which $1,000,000

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

The answer is creating wealth, with the economic value added is $390,000

Explanation:

The company WACC is: Percentage of mortgage bond in capital employed x Cost of mortgage bond x ( 1 - tax rate) + Percentage of unsecured bond in capital employed x Cost of unsecured bond x ( 1 - tax rate) + Percentage of common stock in capital employed x cost of common stock

In which: Percentage of mortgage bond in capital employed = 1,000,000/10,000,000 = 10%

Percentage of unsecured bond in capital employed = 3,000,000/10,000,000 = 30%;

Percentage of common stock in capital employed = (10,000,000 - 1,000,000 - 3,000,000) /10,000,000 = 60%

Cost of common stock = Risk free rate + Risk premium = 10% + 5% = 15%;

Tax rate = 40%

Thus, WACC = 10% x 8% x ( 1- 40%) + 30% x 9% x (1-40%) + 60% x 15% = 11.10%.

Thus, Capital cost per year: Capital employed x WACC = 10,000,000 x 11.10% = $1,110,000.

Economic value added = Operating Income - Capital cost = 1,500,000 - 1,110,000 = $390,000.

Answer:

Minimum Transfer Price is $3.50

Explanation:

The Minimum transfer price is calculated by adding the variable cost per unit with the opportunity cost. In this case where the clock division is not operating at full capacity then the opportunity cost would be considered as $0.

Moreover, the division would be able to avoid a $0.5 cost per clock. Therefore, the variable cost will be $3.50 ($4 - $0.5) after eliminating the $0.5.

Finally, the minimum transfer would as follows:

Minimum Transfer Price = Variable cost + Opportunity Cost

Minimum Transfer Price = $3.50 + $0

Minimum Transfer Price = $3.50

Cox Co. accounts for its inventory using the LIFO cost method. An inventory loss from a permanent market decline of $360,000 occ

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

$360,000

Explanation:

Last in first out (LIFO) is a method used in inventory where the cost of most recently purchased goods is the one to be expensed first. Also current losses are the first to be reported.

An inventory loss incurred in a quarter must not be deferred, but recorded as items within an interim must be reported in the same period they were incurred, unless it can be redeemed before the end of the fiscal year. It is not considered a temporary item.

The loss reported in May will be reported for that quarter in June.
