Answer:

The correct answer is 8.23%.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the computation can be done as:

WACC of debt = Respective costs of debt× Respective weight of debt

= (0.4 × 5)

= 2

WACC of preferred = Respective costs of preferred × Respective weight of preferred

= (0.15 × 7)

= 1.05

WACC of common equity = Respective costs of common equity × Respective weight of retained earning

= (0.45 × 11.5)

= 5.175

So, Total WACC = WACC of debt + WACC of preferred + WACC of common equity

= 2 + 1.05 + 5.175

= 8.225 or 8.23 (approx.)

The Digby's workforce complement will grow by 20% (rounded to the nearest person) next year. Ignoring downsizing from automating
Lerok [7]

Complete Question:

Baldwin's workforce complement (number of employees) will grow by 10% next year. Baldwin spends the same amount extra above the $1,000 recruiting base, which is $694 per employee. Complement/work force was 434 and New Hires were 67 for last year. What will they spend this year on recruiting this year?

Answer: $84,700

<u>Explanation:</u>

Total employees = 434 + 67 = 501

As mentioned in the question that Baldwin's workforce will increase by 10%.

Hence, existing employees x 110% = 501 x 110% = 551 (Ignore the decimal as employees cannot be in decimal) Increase of 50 employees

Baldwin will spend $694 + $1,000 = $1,694

Therefore, for 50 employees he would spend $1,694

Baldwin would spend a total of (50 x $1,694) = $ 84,700

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what amount of joint processing cost is allocated to Product A Using sales value at split-off,

First step is to calculate the Total for Product A and C

Product A 1,800* $7.00= $12,600

Product C 2,600* $10.00= $26,000

Total $38,600

($12,600+$26,000)

Now let calculate amount of joint processing cost is allocated to Product A

Joint processing cost is allocated to Product A = $2,938

Therefore Using sales value at split-off, what amount of joint processing cost is allocated to Product A is $2,938
