Answer: 9.69%

Explanation:

Cost of debt = Yield * ( 1 - Tax)

= 7.5% * (1 - 34%)

= 4.95%

Cost of Preferred stock = Dividend/ Price

= 6/64

= 9.38%

Cost of Equity = risk free rate + beta * (market return - risk free rate)

= 2.3% + 1.21 * (11.2% - 2.3%)

= 13.07%

Total values of capital;

Debt = 75,000 * 1,000 par value = $75,000,000

Preferred stock = 750,000 * 64 = $48,000,000

Common stock = 2,500,000 * 44 = $110,000,000

Total = 75,000,000 + 48,000,000 + 110,000,000

= $233,000,000

WACC = (75,000,000/ 233,000,000 * 4.95%) + (48,000,000/233,000,000 * 9.38%) + (110,000,000/233,000,000 * 13.07%)

= 1.59% + 1.93% + 6.17%

= 9.69%

Goshia [24]

It resembles a structure of departmental and grid structure. Like departmental association, it has its own specializations headed by chief. The divisions existed in the firm are as per the following:  

  • boss activities/working official  
  • boss development official  
  • CFO  
  • general advice and security  
  • boss Human Resources official  
  • head controlling official and  
  • senior bad habit precedent-worldwide activity  

This structure is level in nature, where all the departmental heads are reports to the supervisor Chief Executive Officer as it were. They get orders from the CEO and forward to their subordinates to execute the requests. This is firm is having 3 level administration structure just, for example President, utilitarian heads and officials. with this basic structure, the firm can communicate with others rapidly and without any problem. In the event that there are numerous levels in the center through and through, it sets aside a lot of effort to stream of data or whatever else start to finish and the other way around.  

The dynamic is decentralized right now, practical heads have option to take choice at their level, to the major and corporate level methodologies just they relies upon CEO.

A delivery truck costing $25,000 is expected to have a $1,500 salvage value at the end of its useful life of four years or 125,0
Helga [31]

Answer:

a.

Depreciation expense year 2 Straight line = $5875

b.

Depreciation expense year 2 Double declining = $6250

c.

Depreciation expense year 2 units of activity = $5264

Explanation:

a.

Straight line method is a depreciation method that charges a constant depreciation expense through out the useful life of the asset. Straight line depreciation per year is,

Straight line depreciation = (Cost - Salvage value) / Estimated useful life

Straight line depreciation = (25000 - 1500) / 4    =  $5875 per year

Straight line rate = 100% / 4 = 25%

b.

Double declining balance is an accelerated method of depreciation that charges more depreciation in the initial years and less in later years. Double declining balance depreciation is calculated as follows,

Depreciation expense = 2 * Straight line rate * Book value at start of the period

Depreciation expense year 1 = 2 * 0.25 * 25000     = $12500

Book value at start of year 2 = 25000 - 12500 = $12500

Depreciation year 2 = 2 * 0.25 * 12500  =  $6250

c.

The units of production method charges depreciation based on the activity for which asset is used as a proportion of the estimated useful life in terms of activity.

Depreciation expense year 2 = (28000 / 125000) * (25000 - 1500)

Depreciation expense year 2 = $5264

<h3>What is  depreciation?</h3>

Depreciation in accounting refers to two parts of the same concept: first, the real decline in fair value of an asset, such as the worth of factory equipment each year.

Depreciation is used to match the cost of a productive asset with a useful life of more than a year to the revenues received by employing the asset. The expense of an asset is frequently spread out throughout the years that it is used.

Section 32 of the Income Tax Act of 1961 contains the provision for authorising depreciation. Depreciation is a deduction allowed by the Income Tax Act for the reduction in the real worth of a physical or intangible asset used by a taxpayer.
