Answer:
a.$7.43 per machine hour
Explanation:
The computation of the single plant wide rate is shown below:
Single plant wide rate = Total overhead cost ÷ Machine hours
where,
Total overhead cost = $84,000 + $72,000 = $156,000
And, the machine hours is
= 1,000 units × 5 + 2,000 units × 8
= 5,000 + 16,000
= 21,000 machine hours
So, the single plant wide rate is
= $156,000 ÷ 21,000 machine hours
= $7.43 per machine hour

The cost of preferred stock is 10.2%
Explanation:
The actual amount realized from issuing the preferred of $100 per share par value is the par value less cost of issuing and selling stock of $2 per share, in other words,$98($100-$2) was realized per share from the issuance.
Having known the net amount realized, the cost of preferred stock can be calculated as follows:
cost of preferred stock =return on preferred stock/net amount realized
return is 10% of $100(par value), i.e $10 per share
cost of preferred stock =$10/$98=10.2%
Note that preferred is not tax deductible like debt financing , hence the rate of tax given is not considered in determining the cost of preferred stock.
