Answer:
$480
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Machine Hours Repair Costs
2,400 $6,385
1,200 $3,480
2,000 $5,285
3,400 $8,980
Now,
Machine Hours Repair Costs
Highest 3,400 $8,980
Lowest 1,200 $3,480
Difference 2,200 $5,500
Unit variable cost = $5,500 ÷ 2,200
= $2.5
Total cost at high level = $8,980
Machine hours highest level = 3,400
Also,
Total cost at high level = Fixed cost + Variable cost at highest level
or
$8,980 = Fixed cost + [ $2.5 × 3,400 ]
or
Fixed cost = $8,980 - [ $2.5 × 3,400 ]
= $8,980 - $8,500
= $480
(A) Debt ratio = 0.32
Debt/(debt + equity)= 0.32
Debt = 0.32 *Debt + 0.32 *Equity
0.68* Debt = 0.32* Equity
Debt = 0.32*Equity/0.68 = 0.32/0.68 * Equity
Debt /equity ratio = (0.32/068*Equity)/Equity
Debt/Equity ratio = 0.32/0.68 = 0.47
Debt-equity ratio = 0.47 (Rounded to 2 decimals)
(B) Equity multiplier = 1 + debt -equity = 1+0.47 = 1.47
Equity multiplier = 1.47 (Rounded to 2 decimals)
