Answer:

The company's after-tax cost of debt is  

Explanation:

Please find the below for detailed calculation and explanations:

The company's after-tax cost of debt is equal to: Bond's yield to maturity (YTM) x ( 1- tax rate). As tax rate is given, we need to calculate the YTM.

Bond's YTM is the discount rate which brings net present value of all cash flows from the bond, which are 15 annual interest payments of $60 each ( $1,000 x 6%) and face value repayment of $1,000 at maturity, equal to its current market price of $1,075. So, it is calculated as below:

( 60/ YTM) x [ 1 - (1+YTM)^-15 ] + 1,000/ (1+YTM)^15 = 1,075 <=> YTM = 5.26%.

=> The company's after-tax cost of debt is equal to: Bond's YTM x ( 1- tax rate) = 5.26% x ( 1 - 32%) = 3.58%.

lakkis [162]

Answer:

<u>Yes, because Boat Builders, LLC failed to exercise a reasonable standard of care at their premises.</u>

Explanation:

<em>Remember, </em>we are told, "Jake... invited them back to the Boat Builders premises," meaning they (Boat Bilders, LLC) had a duty of care responsibility toward all of his employees present.

Note we are told, "Mark made light of it but gave Jake a menacing look so Jake dropped it," this was a moment that shows Jake's negligence because as the owner of Boat Builders he had a duty of care to ensure no one is hurt without their own fault within their premises (which included their "parking lot").

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

d. $73,500

Explanation:

The computation of the estimated total manufacturing overhead for the customizing department is shown below:

= Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost + Variable manufacturing overhead cost

where,

the variable manufacturing overhead cost = Customized Direct labor-hours × Variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor-hour

= 7,000 units × $5

= $35,000

And, the Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost is $38,500

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the answer would be equal to

= $38,500 + ($7,000 hours × $5 per hour)

= $38,500 + $35,000

= $73,500
