Answer:
Ford's weighted average cost of capital is 8.22 %
Explanation:
Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) is the minimum return that the company expect from a project. It shows the risk of the company.
Calculation of WACC
WACC = Cost of equity + Cost of preferred stock + Cost of debt
Capital Source Market Values Weight Cost Total Cost
equity $ 7 billion 29.17% 13.6% 3.97 %
preferred stock $ 2 billion 8.33% 12% 1.00 %
debt $ 15 billion 62.50% 5.2 % 3.25%
Total $ 24 billion 8.22 %
Cost of equity = Risk free rate + Beta × Risk Premium
= 4% + 1.2 × 8%
= 13.6%
Cost of preferred stock = Dividend/Market Price
= $ 3/ $ 25 × 100
= 12%
Cost of debt = interest × (1- tax rate)
= 8% × (1-0.35)
= 5.2 %
Answer:
$124,700
Explanation:
Indirect labor budgeted is $57,000
Factory supervision is $65,000
The normal capacity is 142,500
Direct labor 145,000
Therefore the flexible budget can be calculated as follows
= 57,000+65,000/142,500
= 122,000/142,500
= 0.86
0.86×145,000
= 124,700
Hence the flexible budget is $124,700
