Answer:
9.09%
9.327%
Explanation:
For computing the weighted cost of capital first we have to determine the cost of preferred stock, cost of common stock and the after cost of debt is shown below:
The Cost of preferred stock is
= Preferred dividend ÷ market price of preferred stock
= $2.50 ÷ $25
= 10%
The cost of common stock is
= (Expected dividend ÷ market price) + growth rate
= ($1.50 ÷ $20) + 0.05
= 12.50%
And, the after cost of debt is
= Before cost of debt × (1 - tax rate)
= 0.08 × (1 - 0.35)
= 5.2%
Now the WACC is
= Weightage of debt × cost of debt + (Weightage of preferred stock) × (cost of preferred stock) + (Weightage of common stock) × (cost of common stock)
= (0.45 × 5.2%) + (0.05 × 10%) + (0.50 × 12.5%)
= 2.34 + 0.5 + 6.25
= 9.09%
In the second case, the WACC is
= Weightage of debt × cost of debt + (Weightage of preferred stock) × (cost of preferred stock) + (Weightage of common stock) × (cost of common stock)
= (0.30 × 5.2%) + (0.05 × 10%) + (0.65 × 12.5%)
= 0.702 + 0.5 + 8.125
= 9.327%
Answer:
The answer is: gain on disposal of $114500
Explanation:
The gain on disposal is calculated by the following formula:
gain on disposal=replacement cost - (purchase cost - depreciation expense)
gain on disposal = $210,500 - ($180,000 - $84,000) = $210,500 - $96,500 = $114,500
The journal records should be as follows:
- Dr Cash 210,500
- Dr Accumulated depreciation 84,000
- Cr Machine 180,000
- Cr Gain on disposal 114,500
Answer:
d. An increase in the supply of the good.
Explanation:
Under normal circumstances, when production of certain goods that used to be manual is now automated or there is enhancement of technology then, supply for such good will definitely increase.
It means that there will be faster rate of production due to the technological improvement unlike when production is being done with obsolete equipment or done manually.
When there is enhancement of technology use to produce certain goods, it will bring about decrease in cost of production for producers and an increase in supply of such goods.
Answer:
other countries have a comparative advantage over Guatemala in the production of coffee, and Guatemala will import coffee.
Explanation:
This question is incomplete. Please check the attached image for a complete question.
A country has comparative advantage in the production of a good or service If it produces the good or service at a lower opportunity cost when compared to its trading partners.
The price of Guatemala's coffee is higher when compared to the world price of coffee without international trade. It shows that Guatemala doesn't have a comparative advantage in the production of coffee. Guatemala should stop producing coffee and import instead. This would enable Guatemala focus more resocurces on the production of good for which it has comparative advantage.

Answer:
The fund raising committee can be organized in 3,276 different ways.
Explanation:
The committee can have the following structures:
Accounting majors Finance majors
0 5
1 4
2 3
C(10,0) x C(8,5) = (10! / 10!) x (8! / 3!5!) = 1 x 56 = 56
C(10,1) x C(8,4) = (10! / 9!1!) x (8! / 4!4!) = 10 x 70 = 700
C(10,2) x C(8,3) = (10! / 8!2!) x (8! / 5!3!) = 45 x 56 = 2,520
total possibilities = 2,520 + 700 + 56 = 3,276
