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%.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. Calculate the predetermined overhead rate Overhead Rate per hour
Predetermined Overhead rate will be the estimated total manufacturing overhead divided by the estimated total direct labor hours. This will be:
= $ 921,600/51,200
= $ 18
(b) Calculate how much manufacturing overhead will be applied to production
Manufacturing overhead that'll be applied to production will be the predetermined overhead rate multiplied by the actual total direct labor hours. This will be:
= $ 18 × 48,900 direct labor hours
= $ 880,200
(c) Is overhead over- or underapplied? By how much?
The Actual Overhead Incurred = $902,900 while the manufacturing overhead applied = $880,200. This shows that overhead is underapplied due to the fact that manufacturing overhead applied is less than the actual overhead that is incurred.
Therefore, the amount of overhead that was underapplied will be:
= $ 902,900 - $ 880,200
= $ 22,700
(d) What account should be adjusted for over-or underapplied overhead? Should the balance be increased or decreased?
Based on the scenario in the question and the answers calculated, the cost of goods sold should be increased.
A data sample is a set of data collected and/or selected from a statistical population by a defined procedure, in statistics and quantitative research methodology. the elements of a sample are known as sample points, sampling units or observations. Cluster sample is a simple random sample of groups, or clusters, of the population often based on geography. In this case, this is a type of cluster sample.
Answer:
B. The primary advantage to municipal bonds is that interest income received is not taxed by the federal government.
Explanation:
A bond can be defined as a debt or fixed investment security, in which a bondholder (investor or creditor) loans an amount of money to the bond issuer (government or corporations) for a specific period of time. The bond issuer are expected to return the principal (face value) at maturity with an agreed upon interest (coupon), which are paid at fixed intervals.
A municipal bond can be defined as a type of bond that is typically issued by a municipality, county, local government or state in order to finance or sponsor capital expenditures for the public such as water supply, construction of roads, etc.
Hence, the primary advantage to municipal bonds is that interest income received on this type of bond is not taxed by the federal government.
