Assume Baldwin Corp. is downsizing the size of their workforce by 15% (to the nearest person) next year from various strategic i

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

The company will have to pay $5,100 per employee in separation costs if these exit interviews are implemented next year

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Percentage downsize in the workforce = 15% = 0.15

Cost of exit interviews = $100

Normal separation cost = $5,000

Now,

Total separation cost per employee = Cost of exit interviews + Normal separation cost

= $100 + $5,000

= $5,100

Therefore,

The company will have to pay $5,100 per employee in separation costs if these exit interviews are implemented next year

Red Raider Company uses a plantwide overhead rate with direct labor hours as the allocation base. Next year, 560,000 units are e

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

d. $11.11 per unit

Explanation:

Plant wide overhead rate = Total manufacturing cotsts / Total direct labor hours

Plant wide overhead rate = ($2,530,000 + $900,000) / (168,000+110,000)

Plant wide overhead rate = $3,430,000 / 278,000

Plant wide overhead rate = $12.34 per DLH

Overhead cost per unit = Plant wide overhead rate * Direct hours per unit

Overhead cost per unit = $12.34 * 0.90

Overhead cost per unit = $11.11 per unit

The market value of Fords' equity, preferred stock, and debt are $ 7 billion, $ 2 billion, and $ 13 billion, respectively.

Alisiya [41]

Answer: 9.48%

Explanation:

Given Data

Debts ;

$7 billion

$2 billion

$13 billion

Beta of Fords stock = Beta = 1.50

Market risk premium = Rp = 8.0%

Risk free rate of interest = Rf = 4.0%

Equity rate = 1.7

Market risk rate = 0.8

Risk free rate = 0.03

Therefore;

Cost of Equity ( Re ) = Risk free rate + equity rate × market risk premium

= 0.03 + (1.7 × 0.8)

= 0.166

Preferred Stock Cost ( PSC)= Dividend ÷ stock price

= 4 ÷ 30

= 0.1333

Total debt = 13 + 6 + 2 = 21 billion

D% = 13 billion ÷ 21 billion

= 0.619

E% = 6 billion ÷ 21 billion

= 0.286

P% = 2 billion ÷ 21 billion

= 0.095

RD = debt capital at 8% maturity rate

Tc= 30%

Rwac =(w/ preferred stock)

= Re × E% + PSC × P% + Rd ( 1- Tc) D%

Rwac = (0.166)(0.286) + (0.1333)(0.095) + (0.08)(1- 0.3)*(0.619)

= 0.094803 * 100

= 9.48%

At 30% tax rate Ford weighted average cost is 9.48%

Two people save money in a tax-deferred Individual Retirement Account that earns 8% annually. Person A invests $ 3,000 a year fr

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

Person B

Explanation:

If Person A begins investing $3,000 a year from age 20 to 29 he would have invested a total of $30,000. Each year he earns 8% of the amount in his account, so the first year he earns $3,000 x 8% = $240, the second year $6,000 x 8 = $ 480...and so on. Total interest earned are $99,600 from the age of 20 thru 65, because at age 30 no more money in invested but the $30,000 continues to earn 8% interest until the age of 65.

Person A earns a total of $30,000 + $99,600 = $129,600

Person B begins investing $3,000 a year at age 30 and invests a total of $108,00 from age 30 thru 65. Interest of 8% also needs to be considered from age 30 thru age 65. Total interest earned is $159,840.

Person B earns a total of $108,000 + $159,840 = $267,840

So Person B would earn more money at the age of 65.
