Answer:
Task a:
The answer is $24,500.
Task b:
The answer is 17%
Explanation:
<h2>Task a:</h2><h3>What is the maximum amount of new capital that can be raised at the LOWEST component cost of EQUITY?</h3><h3>Solution:</h3>
We already know the following:
Projected net income = $21,000
Payout ratio = 30%
Retention ratio = 70%
Debt share = 40%
Equity share = 60%
Maximum amount of capital to be raised at the lowest component cost of equity = Projected net income ×
= $21,000 × 
= $24,500
<h3>Answer:</h3>
The maximum amount of new capital that can be raised at the lowest component of equity is $24,500.
<h2>Task b:</h2><h3>What is the component cost of equity by selling new common stock?</h3><h3>Solution:</h3>
k(e) (component cost of external equity) = [Dividend (D0)(1 + growth) / stock price(1 - flotation cost)] + growth
Formula:
k(e) = 
+ 0.05
Where
Do = $2.00
G = 0.05
P = $21/88
= ($2.00(1 + 0.05) / $21.88(1-.20)) + 0.05
= ($2.10/$21.88(1-.20)) + 0.05
= ($2.10/$21.88(0.80) + 0.05
= 0.17 or 17%
<h3>Answer: </h3>
The component cost of equity by selling new common stock = 17%
True, profits of a large corporation are taxed twice, once a corporate income and again as personal income of stockholders. This is because the corporation is taxed when they earn the profit but then the stockholders are taxed as it is paid out as income/earnings.
Answer:
$404,800
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How much rent is allocable to the assembly department using the direct method of allocation
Using this formula
Rent =Area used by Assembly department / Total Area used by Manufacturing Departments x Total Rent paid
Let plug in the formula
Rent =36,850/ (36,850+30,150) x $736,000
Rent=36,850/67,000*$738,000
Rent=0.55*$736,000
Rent= $404,800
Therefore How much rent is allocable to the assembly department using the direct method of allocation is $404,800
Answer: To keep the customer base
Explanation: The consumers find it unfair when the firms increase their prices continuously even though there was an increase in demand from the last increase in price.
Although, Customers do not mind when the prices are increased due to an increase in cost to the supplier. Therefore,unnecessary increase in price might result in loss of popularity of the product and further the loss of customer base.
That's the reason why firms do not increase their prices even though it will increase their profits.
