Answer:

The WACC is 10.93%

Explanation:

The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure. The capital stricture may be formed of the following components namely debt, preferred stock and common stock. The WACC assigns the weights to each of these components based on the finance provided by each of the above components as a proportion of total capital structure or total assets.

The WACC is calculated by taking the market value of each component. The formula for WACC is as follows,

WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate)  +  wP * rP  +  wE * rE

Where,

  • w represents the weight of each component
  • r represents the cost of each component
  • D, P and E represents debt, preferred stock and Common stock respectively.
  • We take after tax cost of debt. So we multiply rD with (1-tax rate)

Debt = 377000 * 106.5%  = $401505

Preferred stock = 6850 * 90.50  =  $619925

Common stock = 27500 * 70  = $1925000

Total assets = 401505 + 619925 + 1925000  = $2946430

WACC = 401505/2946430 * 7.81% * (1-0.35)  +  619925/2946430 * 6.9%  +

1925000/2946430 * 13.45%

WACC = 0.1093 or 10.93%

Actual direct labor hours is 2,380

And, the standard direct labor hours equal to

= 5,200 units × 0.5

= 2,600 hours

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= (2,380 hours - 2,600 hours) × $7
