Answer:

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

We have to use MM proposition that cost of equity will change itself in such a manner so that it can take care of its debt.

Cost of equity:

= WACC of all equity firm + (WACC of all equity - Cost of debt ) × (Debt -to-equity ratio)

At the beginning, when there was no debt,

WACC = cost of equity = 12 %

Levered cost of equity:

= 12% + ( 12% - 6%) × 0.5

= 15%

Therefore, Rearden's levered cost of equity would be closest to 15%.

Valvano Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single, plantwide, predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

The estimated total manufacturing overhead is closest to $550,000

Explanation:

Total manufacturing overhead = variable + fixed overhead absorbed

Fixed overhead absorbed = Overhead absorption rate × machine hour

Overhead absorption rate = Estimated overhead/Estimated machine hours

                               = $440,000/50,000 machine hours

                              = 8.8  per machine hour

Absorbed fixed overhead = $8.8 × 50,000= $440,000

Absorbed variable overhead= $2.20  × 50,000= $110000

Total manufacturing overhead = $440,000+ 110000 =$550,000

The estimated total manufacturing overhead is closest to $550,000
