If the before-tax cost of debt is 8% and its cost of preferred stock is 10%. The risk free rate is assume to be 5%, while the market risk premium is 8%, with an above market level firm beta of 1.25 (slightly more volatile than the market).

Answer:

a) total debt = $38 million

after tax cost of debt = 8% x (1 - 35%) = 5.2%

total preferred stocks = $15 million

cost of preferred stock = 10%

total common stocks = 4,125,000 x 20% = $82,500,000

Re = 5% + (1.25 x 8%) = 15%

weight of debt = 38 / 135.5 = 28.04%

weight of preferred stocks = 15 / 135.5 = 11.07%

weight of common stocks = 60.89%

WACC = (60.89% x 15%) + (11.07% x 10%) + (28.04% x 5.2%) = 11.7%

b) The project should be rejected because 11% is lower than the company's WACC (11.7%)

JulsSmile [24]
<span>American Express credit cards and credit cards in general are a type of revolving charge account. Credit cards are regarded as a revolving charge account or revolving credit because if the balance is not paid off by the period specified, it will roll over to the next period (and collect interest), thus "revolving" into the next period. This is how the debt compounds if you are not responsible with your credit cards.</span>

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Denominator

Lower

Numerator

Explanation:

The reason is that the statement is talking about the low per capita GDP which we can see in the picture attached with this answer.

We can see that if the denominator is lower which means that either population decreases or remains constant when the GDP has increased then the the growth in the per capita GDP will be higher because minute increases in the GDP will increase the answer with significant percentages.

Department S had no work in process at the beginning of the period. It added 12,200 units of direct materials during the period
galben [10]

Answer:

Cost of completed units = $158,240

Explanation:

<em>Cost of completed units = Cost per equivalent unit × no of units</em>

<em>Equivalent unit = Degree of completion × units of work</em>

<em>Equivalent units of material</em>

( 9200× 100%)   + (3000×100%) = 12,200 unit

Cost per equivalent unit of material = $97,600/12,200 units= $8

<em>Equivalent units of labour and overhead</em>

(9200× 100%) + (3000× 25%) = 750

Cost per equivalent unit of labour and overhead

=( 73,630+17910)/9950 =$9.2

Cost of completed units

= $(9.2+8)× 9,200 = 158,240

Cost of completed units = $158,240
