If Wild Widgets, Inc., were an all-equity company, it would have a beta of 0.9. The company has a target debt-equity ratio of .4

Veronika [31]

Answer:

a. 6.5%

b. 13.06%

c. 10.91%

Explanation:

Cost of debt of a bond is yield to maturity. Yield to maturity is the rate of return that a investor actually receives or a borrows actually pays on a bond. It is long term return or payment which is expressed in annual term.

Formula for yield to maturity is as follow

Yield to maturity = [ C + ( F - P ) / n ] / [ (F + P ) / 2 ]

By placing values in the formula

Assuming the bond face value is $1,000

Yield to maturity = [ (1000x7.2) + ( 1,000 - $1,090 ) / 20 ] / [ ( 1,000 + $1,090 ) / 2 ]

Yield to maturity = [ $72 + ( 1,000 - $1,090 ) / 20 ] / $1,045

Yield to maturity = [ $72 - $4.5 ] / $1,045

Yield to maturity = $67.5 / $1,045

Yield to maturity = 6.5%

So, the cost of Debt is 6.5%

As 0.9 is the unlevered beta, We need Levered beta due to restructuring of capital.

Beta Levered = Beta Unlevered x ( 1 + ( 1 - tax rate ) x Debt / Equity)

Beta Levered = 0.9 x ( 1 + ( 1 - 0.35 ) x 0.4 )

Beta Levered = 1.134

Cost of equity can be calculated using CAPM

CAPM calculated the expected return on an equity investment based on the risk free rate, market premium and risk beta of the investment.

Formula for CAPM is as follow

Expected return = Risk free Rate + Beta ( Market premium)

As we know the Risk premium is the difference of market return and risk free rate.

Expected return = Risk free Rate + Beta ( Market Return - Risk free Rate )

Ra = Rf + β ( Rm - Rf )

Ra = 4.1% + 1.134 ( 12% - 4.1% )

Ra = 13.06%

Cost of Equity is 13.06%

WACC is the average cost of capital of the firm based on the weightage of the debt and weightage of the equity multiplied to their respective costs.

According to WACC formula

WACC = ( Cost of equity x Weightage of equity )+ ( Cost of debt ( 1- t) x Weightage of debt )

Placing the values in formula

If the debt to equity 0.4 the equity value should be 1 and total capital is 1.4 ( 1 + 0.4 )

WACC = ( 13.06% x 1 / 1.4 )+ ( 6.5% ( 1- 0.35) x 0.4 / 1.4 ) = 9.71% + 1.2% = 10.91%

WACC is 10.91%

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Mexicans

Explanation:

According to the GLOBE project and Hofstede's cultural dimensions, Mexico falls under category of high power distance, whose culture is more based on collectivism. Leaders in these cultures who are successful are the ones who make decisions collectively, therefore any individual approach by these managers in an organization towards decision-making would be viewed negatively.

Stanford Corporation has four categories of overhead. The expected overhead costs for each category for next year are as follows

aliina [53]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 2,325,000 / 20,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $116.25 per direct labor hour

Now, we can allocate overhead:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 116.25*375

Allocated MOH= $43,493.75

b)

Total cost= 5,000 + 7,500 + 43,493.75

Total cost= $55,993.75

c)

Selling price= 55,993.75*1.3

Selling price= $72,791.88

d)

First, we need to calculate the activities rate:

Maintenance= 210,000 / 10,000= $21 per machine hour

Materials handling= 90,000 / 2,000= $45 per material move

Setups= 75,000 / 100= $750 per setup

Inspection= 150,000 / 4,000= $37.5 per inspection

Now, we can allocate overhead:

Maintenance= 21*150= 3,150

Materials handling= 45*4= 180

Setups= 750*2= 1,500

Inspection= 37.5*3= 112.5

Total allocated costs= $4,942.5
