Since the WACC exceeds 7.5%, option D is the appropriate selection. Explanation: The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) reflects a company’s capital structure costs. To compute WACC, we evaluate the weight of respective capital structure components alongside the cost of each. The components can include debt, preferred stock, and common stock. The WACC formula is as follows: WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate) + wP * rP + wE * rE. Here, w denotes the weight, and r indicates the cost for each component—debt (D), preferred stock (P), and common stock (E). Initially, we derive costs of debt and equity. We apply the market value of debt in the WACC calculation. The cost of debt takes its yield to maturity as the current rate, thus rD is set at 6%. We can ascertain the cost of equity utilizing the constant growth model for dividends. Thus, we can develop the equation P0 = D0 * (1+g) / (r - g), yielding values of 80 = 5 * (1+0.05) / (r - 0.05) simplifying to 80(r - 0.05) = 5.25. Solving grants us r = 0.115625 or 11.5625%. Now, calculating WACC yields WACC = 0.5 * 0.06 * (1-0.3) + 0.5 * 0.115625 = 0.0788125 or 7.88125%. Thus, since WACC is greater than 7.5%, option D remains correct.
Answer:
Markup(%) = 216.67%
Explanation:
Markup indicates the profit earned expressed as a percentage of the cost.
Markup = Profit / cost × 100
The cost consists of direct material costs, direct labor costs, and fixed costs.
Cost per unit = 5 + (100,000/10,000)
= 15 per unit.
The total cost for a pair is = 2 × 15 = 30.
<pthe profit="" for="" each="" pair="95">$65
Markup(%) = $65 / 30 × 100 = 216.67%
