Weighted Average Cost of Capital:
a) using the book value weights = 13.1%
b) using the market value weights = 13.2%
c) Some of the factors that affect the Cost of Capital include market opportunities, capital provider's preference, market risk, inflation, reserve policy, budget surplus and deficit, trade activity, foreign trade surpluses and deficits, country risk, and finally, but not the least important, exchange rate risk.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Capital structure as at 31st March, 2019:
Based on Based on % Costs
Book Value Market Value
Debentures 300,000 330,000 7
Preference 100,000 110,000 9
Equity 1,500,000 1,700,000 15
Debt 200,000 180,000 10
Total 2,100,000 2,320,000
b) The WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital) is the cost of capital based on the relative weights of each capital class.
c) WACC based on the Book Value weights:
= 1,500,000/2,100,000 * 15% + 300,000/2,100,000 * 7% + 100,000/2,100,000 * 9% + 200,000/2,100,000 * 10%
= 0.107 + 0.01 + 0.004 + 0.01
= 0.131
= 13.1%
d) WACC based on the Market Value weights:
= 1,700,000/2,320,000 * 15% + 330,000/2,320,000 * 7% + 110,000/2,320,000 * 9% + 180,000/2,320,000 * 10%
= 0.11 + 0.01 + 0.004 + 0.008
= 0.132
= 13.2%

Raven applies overhead based on direct labor hours. The variable overhead standard is 16 hours at $25 per hour. During July, Raven spent $217,700 for variable overhead. 8,190 labor hours were used to produce 300 units. What is the variable overhead rate variance
Answer:
Raven
The variable overhead rate variance is:
$12,940.20
Explanation:
Standard variable overhead rate = $25 per hour
Variable overhead cost = $217,700
Direct labor hours = 8,190
Units produced = 300
Actual variable overhead rate = $217,700/8,190 = $26.58 per hour
Variable overhead rate variance = ($26.58 - $25) * 8,190
= $12,940.20
b) The variable overhead rate variance is the difference between the actual variable manufacturing overhead incurred by Raven and the standard variable overhead that was expected, based on the actual number of hours worked.
Your real estate agent mentions that homes in your price range require a payment of $1,200 per month for 30 years at 0.75% interest per month. What is the size of the mortgage with these terms?
Answer:
the size of the mortgage with these terms is $149,138.24
Explanation:
The computation of the size of the mortgage is shown below:
Present value of annuity is
= Monthly payment × {[1 - (1 + rate of interest)^-number of months] ÷ rate of interest}
= $1,200 × {[1 - (1 + 0.0075)^-360] ÷ 0.0075}
= $1,200 × 124.2819
= $149,138.24
The 360 is come from
= 30 years × 12 months
= 360 months
hence, the size of the mortgage with these terms is $149,138.24
Bigelow has a levered cost of equity of 14.29% and a pretax cost of debt of 7.23%. The required return on the assets is 11%. What is the firm's debt-equity ratio based on MM Proposition II with no taxes?
Answer:
0.873
Explanation:
Given that
Cost of equity, RS = 14.29% = 0.1429
Required return on assets = 11% = 0.11
Cost of debt = 7.23% = 0.0723
Then we can calculate the firm's debt equity ratio by using the relation
0.1429 = 0.11 + B/S(0.11 - 0.0723)
0.1429 = 0.11 + B/S(0.0377)
B/S(0.0377) = 0.1429 - 0.11
B/S(0.0377) = 0.0329
B/S = 0.0329 / 0.0377
B/S = 0.873
Therefore, the debt equity ratio is 0.873
Awanda buys a $1000 par value 11-year bond with 8% semiannual coupons. The redemption value is equal to the par value. Awanda bought the bond at a premium to yield 4% convertible semiannually. Determine the interest portion of the 17th coupon
Answer:
interest portion (17th payment) = $22.24 ≈ $22
premium amortization portion (17th payment) = $17.76 ≈ $18
Explanation:
the market price of the bond:
PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 2%)²² = $646.84
PV of coupon payments = $40 x 17.658 (PV annuity factor, 2%, 22 periods) = $706.32
market price = $1,353.16
the journal entry to record the investment in bonds:
Dr Bonds receivable 1,000
Dr Premium on bonds receivable 353.16
Cr Cash 1,353.16
I prepared an amortization schedule using excel to determine the interest portion of the 17th payment and the premium amortization portion.
interest portion (17th payment) = $22.24 ≈ $22
premium amortization portion (17th payment) = $17.76 ≈ $18
There are vast differences in local market needs in the consumer soft drink business around the world. TwinFold Media, a Canadian multinational advertising agency, specializes in the soft drink industry and uses a geocentric staffing approach. What advantage would the company gain by using this approach?
a. It allows all key management positions of a firm and its subsidiaries to be filled by parent country nationals.
b. It requires minimal documentation for hiring foreign nationals.
c. it tends to reduce cultural myopia and enhance local responsiveness.
d. It reduces the costs of value creation.
Answer: c. it tends to reduce cultural myopia and enhance local responsiveness.
Explanation:
A Geocentric staffing approach means that a company picks those that it views as the most suitable for a job regardless of the country they are from. This means that although the company is in Canada, they can hire a person from Sudan if they feel the person is suitable for the job in question.
The main advantage of this is that it reduces cultural myopia which is the tendency to belief that a person's culture i.e western culture, works across the globe. For instance, going back to the earlier example, a person from Sudan would most likely know more about norms in Sudan than a person from Canada.
This would ensure that the people hired, can respond effectively due to this reduction in cultural myopia.

Compute times interest earned. Which company indicates the strongest ability to pay interest expense as it comes due?
Answer:
Company D
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
As we know that
Times interest earned ratio = Net Income + interest expense + income tax ÷ Interest expense
For company a:
Times interest earned ratio = $119000+ $44000 + $35000 ÷ $44000
= $198000 / $44000
= 4.5 times
For company b:
Times interest earned ratio is
= $135000+ $16000 + $25000 ÷ $16000
= $176000 / $16000
= 11 times
For company c:
Times interest earned ratio = $138000+ $12000 + $30000 ÷ $12000
= $180000 ÷ $12000
= 15 times
For company d:
Times interest earned ratio = $314000+ $14000 + $50000 ÷ $14000
= $378000 / $14000
= 27 times
As it can be seen that the times interest ratio is higher in company d so it has the strongest ability to pay the interest expense
You have recently purchased an annual interest-paying bond with a time to maturity of ten years, a yield to maturity of 5%, and coupon rate of 3.8%. If you reinvest the remaining interest payments and principle repayment at an annual rate of 4%, how much money will you have in ten years
Answer:
$1,456.23
Explanation:
Calculation for how much money will you have in ten years
First step is to calculate FV
Using this formula
FV= C*(((1 + i/100)^n -1)/(i/100))
Where,
C represent Cash flow per period
i representinterest rate
n represent number of payments
Let plug in the formula
FV= 38*(((1+ 4/100)^10-1)/(4/100))
FV = 456.23
(Note 3.8%*1000 will give us 38)
Now let calculate how much money you will have in ten years
Using this formula
Amount in 10 years = FV of interest+ Par value
Let plug in the formula
Amount in 10 years= 456.23+1000
Amount in 10 years = $1,456.23
Therefore the amount of money you will have in ten years is $1,456.23
Companies that have preferred stock outstanding promise to pay a stated dividend for an infinite period. Preferred stock is treated like a perpetuity if the payments last forever. Preferred stocks are considered to be a hybrid of a common stock and a bond. For example, one of the major differences between preferred shares and bonds is that the issuing companies can suspend the payment of their preferred dividends without throwing the company into bankruptcy.
However, similar to bonds, preferred stockholders receive a fixed payment-their dividend-before the company's residual earnings are paid out to its common stockholders and, as with common stock, preferred stockholders can benefit from an appreciation in the value of the firm's stock securities.

How important is structure/culture compared to the other primary internal considerations for a strategic plan?
Explanation:
The organizational structure and culture are essential for the design of a strategic plan aligned with the organization's purpose.
What happens is that the structure and culture of an organization constitute its identity, its way of organizing itself and creating an environment designed to obtain the objectives and goals stipulated by strategic planning. So it can be said that there is no way to develop a strategic plan without considering the structure or culture, because it is through these two variables that action plans are developed and modeled according to what the company is, and what it plans to be in the future. All organizational systems must be foreseen in the planning and be developed with the same degree of importance, because together they form the organizational whole that will lead a company to be well positioned in the market, achieve continuous improvement in its processes, achieve competitive advantage in the market, etc.
Structure and culture are the pillars upon which the business organizes its operational activities to get a smooth flow in these different activities.
What is the importance of structure/culture in a strategic plan?The structure defines communication and reporting relationships while culture defines business norms to be followed. It is essential for strategic planning as it helps to develop a competitive edge for the business that would measure its growth.
Therefore, it generates foundations for bringing change and flexibility in the business for achieving improvement in its processes.

A product has an average demand of 40 units per week and a standard deviation of 10 units per week (normally distributed). The lead time is 5 weeks. What is the safety stock inventory if the organization wants to achieve a 90% cycle-service level
Answer:
37 units
Explanation:
lead time = 5 weeks
service level = 90%, z score = 1.645
average demand = 40 units per week
standard deviation = 10 units per week
safety stock = z-score · √lead time · standard deviation of demand = 1.645 · √5 weeks · 10 units per week = 1.645 · 2.236 · 10 = 36.78 ≈ 37 units
the reorder point = (5 weeks x 40 units per week) + safety stock = 200 + 37 = 237 units
