Answer:
8.30%
Explanation:
The weighted average cost of capital of the company is computed using the WACC formula below:
WACC=(We*Ke)+(Wp*Kp)+(Wd*kd)
We=weight of common equity=50%
Ke=cost of retained earnings which is a proxy for the cost of equity=11.50%
Wp=weight of preferred stock=20%
Kp=cost of preferred stock=6.00%
Wd=weight of debt=30%
Kd=after-tax cost of debt=4.50%
WACC=(50%*11.50%)+(20%*6.00%)+(30%*4.50%)
WACC=8.30%

Answer:
C) $80,000
Explanation:
Since Rose uses the LIFO method for determining COGS, the 10,000 units sold should be recorded at $7.90 (purchase price 1/5).
10,000 units still remain in inventory (8,000 beginning + 2,000 last purchase). Using the LIFO costing method the inventory unit cost should be [(8,000 x $8.20) + (2,000 x $7.90)] / 10,000 = $8.14 per unit
If the replacement cost is $8 per unit, and Rose decides to use lower-of-cost-or-market rule, then she should use the lowest cost which is the replacement cost ($8 < $8.14).
So the ending inventory's total cost is $8 per unit x 10,000 units = $80,000
