Answer:

A. 12.1%

B. 8.9%

Explanation:

a. Calculation for What is the company's new cost of equity

Using this formula

New cost of equity=Cost of capital+[(Cost of capital- Debt interest rate ) *(Debt-equity ratio)*(1)]

Let plug in the formula

New cost of equity=[0.089+[(0.089-0.057)*(1)*1]

New cost of equity=[0.089+0.032*(1)*1]

New cost of equity=[0.121*(1)*1]

New cost of equity=0.121*100

New cost of equity=12.1%

Therefore the company's new cost of equity will be 12.1%

b. Calculation for What is its new WACC

Particular Weight Cost Weighted cost

Equity 0.5000 *12.1% = 0.0605

Debt 0.5000 * 5.7% =0.0285

WACC =0.089*100

WACC =8.9%

(0.0605+0.0285)

Therefore the new WACC will be 8.9%

elena-s [515]

Answer:

393 units will need to be sold to breakeven

Explanation:

Break even point is the point where a Company makes neither makes a profit nor a loss.

Step 1 : Calculate new variables

New Sales = $250 x 1.40 = $350

Variable Costs = $250 x 30 % = $75

New Fixed Costs = $120,000 x 90 % = $108,000

Step 2 : Break even (units)

Break even (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit

                               = $108,000 ÷ ($350 - $75)

                               = 393 units

Thus, 393 units will need to be sold to breakeven
