lidiya [134]

Answer:

A sunk cost is the correct answer to this question.

Explanation:

Sunk cost:- Sunk costs are those expenses that have been accumulated in the past and are thus in some way unrelated to judgment-making.

In the question referred to above, the company has already made $14 to produce. This cost will be inconsequential even if the company makes the units as it is or procedures them further.

As a result, $14 is a sunk expense.

Other options are incorrect because they are not related to the given scenario.

Bartlett Company's target capital structure is 40% debt, 15% preferred, and 45% common equity. The after-tax cost of debt is 6.0
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

WACC is 9.26%

Explanation:

WACC is the average cost of capital of the firm based on the weightage of the debt and weightage of the equity multiplied to their respective costs.

According to WACC formula

WACC = ( Cost of common share x Weightage of common share ) + ( Cost of Preferred share x Weightage of Preferred share ) + ( Cost of debt x Weightage of debt )

Cost of debt is already given as after tax cost of debt.

WACC = ( 12.75% x 45% ) + ( 7.5% x 15% ) + ( 6% x 40% )

WACC = 5.7375% + 1.125% + 2.4% = 9.2625 % = 9.26%
