Answer:

WACC is 7.24%

After tax cost of debt is 3.95%

Explanation:

WACC=Ke*E/V+Kd*D/V*(1-t)+Kp*P/V

Ke is the cost of equity of 9% or 0.09

Kd  is the cost of debt at 5% or 0.05

Kp is the of preferred stock of 4% or 0.04

E is the weight of equity of 65% 0r 0.65

D is the weight of debt of 25% 0.25

K is the weight of preferred stock of 10% or 0.10

t is the tax rate of 21% or 0.21

WACC=(0.09*0.65)+(0.05*0.25*1-0.21)+(0.04*0.10)

WACC=(0.09*0.65)+(0.05*0.25*0.79)+(0.04*0.10)

WACC=7.24%

after tax cost of debt=pretax cost of debt*(1-t)

                                  =0.05*(1-0.21)

                                 =0.0395=3.95%

vova2212 [387]

Answer and Explanation:

1. The computation of overhead rate based on direct labor cost is shown below:-

Overhead rate = Overhead applied × 100 ÷ Direct labor cost

= 888 × 100 ÷ 1,200

= 74%

2. The Preparation of job-order cost sheet for the four jobs is shown below:

Particulars                Job 86        Job 87        Job 88        Job 89

Beginning balance $6,888       $6,820

Direct materials       $3,000      $7,000         $2,100          $1,500

Direct labor              $800          $6,000        $900            $500

Applied overhead  

is 74% of direct labor $592           $4,440       $666            $370

Total                          $11,280       $24,260      $3,666      $2,370

3. The computation of ending balances of Work in Process and Finished Goods is shown below:-

Work in process of Job 88 = $3,666

Finished goods = Total of Job 86 + Total of Job 89

= $11,280 + $2,370

= $13,650

4. The computation of the Cost of Goods Sold for March is shown below:-

There are only three stocks in the economy. Stock A has 20 shares outstanding and a price per share of $10. Stock B has 15 share
gregori [183]

Answer:

Market value of stock A = 20 shares x $10 = $200

Market value of stock B = 15 shares x $3   = $45

Market value of stock C = 10 shares x $5   = $50

Total market value                                          $295

Amount to invest in stock A

= $200/$295 x $5,000

= $3,389.83

Explanation:

In this case, we will calculate the market value of each stock by multiplying the number of each stock by their corresponding market prices.

Thereafter, we will divide the market value of stock A by the total market value multiplied by amount available for investment ($5,000).
