Feauto Manufacturing Corporation has a traditional costing system in which it applies manufacturing overhead to its products using a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours (DLHs). The company has two products, I63E and E76I, about which it has provided the following data: I63E E76I Direct materials per unit $ 19.90 $ 54.40 Direct labor per unit $ 12.00 $ 31.50 Direct labor-hours per unit 0.80 2.10 Annual production (units) 30,000 10,000 The company's estimated total manufacturing overhead for the year is $2,063,250 and the company's estimated total direct labor-hours for the year is 45,000. The company is considering using a form of activity-based costing to determine its unit product costs for external reports. Data for this proposed activity-based costing system appear below: Activities and Activity Measures Estimated Overhead Cost Assembling products (direct labor-hours) $ 720,000 Preparing batches (batches) 263,250 Product support (product variations) 1,080,000 Total $ 2,063,250 Expected Activity I63E E76I Total Direct labor-hours 24,000 21,000 45,000 Batches 1,080 675 1,755 Product variations 2,115 1,485 3,600 The manufacturing overhead that would be applied to a unit of product E76I under the activity-based costing system is closest to:

Afirm's before-tax cost of debt, rd, is the interest rate that the firm must pay on debt. because interest is tax deductible, the relevant cost of debt used to calculate a firm's wacc is the cost of debt, rd (1 – t). the cost of debt is used in calculating the wacc because we are interested in maximizing the value of the firm's stock, and the stock price depends on cash flows. it is important to emphasize that the cost of debt is the interest rate on debt, not debt because our primary concern with the cost of capital is its use in capital budgeting decisions. the rate at which the firm has borrowed in the past is because we need to know the cost of capital. for these reasons, the on outstanding debt (which reflects current market conditions) is a better measure of the cost of debt than the . the on the company's -term debt is generally used to calculate the cost of debt because more often than not, the capital is being raised to fund -term projects. quantitative problem: 5 years ago, barton industries issued 25-year noncallable, semiannual bonds with a $1,600 face value and a 8% coupon, semiannual payment ($64 payment every 6 months). the bonds currently sell for $845.87. if the firm's marginal tax rate is 40%, what is the firm's after-tax cost of debt? round your answer to 2 decimal places. do not round intermediate calcu

Amanufacturer has paid an engineering firm $200,000 to design a new plant, and it will cost another $2 million to build the plant. in the meantime, however, the manufacturer has learned of a foreign company that offers to build an equivalent plant for $2,100,000. what should the manufacturer do?

Although appealing to more refined tastes, art as a collectible has not always performed so profitably. during 2003, an auction house sold a sculpture at auction for a price of $10,211,500. unfortunately for the previous owner, he had purchased it in 2000 at a price of $12,177,500. what was his annual rate of return on this sculpture? (a negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as
