The management of Ethan plc is trying to decide on a cost of capital to apply to the evaluation of investment projects. The company has an issued share capital of 500,000 ordinary K1 shares, with a current market value cum-div of K1.17 per share. It has also issued K200,000 of 10% debentures, which are redeemable at par in five years’ time and have a current market value of K105.30 cum-interest, and K100,000 of K1 irredeemable 6% preference shares, currently priced at K0.40 per share ex-div. The preference dividend has just been paid, and the ordinary dividend and debenture interest are due to be paid in the near future.
Management considers the current capital structure of the company to be similar to their plans for its long-term capital structure.
The ordinary share dividend will be K60,000 this year, and the Directors have published their view that earnings and dividends will increase by 5% a year into the indefinite future. The company pays tax at 25% per year in the same year as profits.
Required:
a) Calculate the WACC.
b) Discuss the importance of the cost of capital in project appraisal and highlight the impact
that a wrong discount rate would have on decision making.

Smoky Mountain Corporation makes two types of hiking boots—the Xtreme and the Pathfinder. Data concerning these two product lines appear below:

Xtreme Pathfinder
Selling price per unit $ 120.00 $ 87.00
Direct materials per unit $ 63.30 $ 52.00
Direct labor per unit $ 17.00 $ 10.00
Direct labor-hours per unit 1.7 DLHs 1.0 DLHs
Estimated annual production and sales 22,000 units 76,000 units

The company has a traditional costing system in which manufacturing overhead is applied to units based on direct labor-hours. Data concerning manufacturing overhead and direct labor-hours for the upcoming year appear below:

Estimated total manufacturing overhead $ 1,927,800
Estimated total direct labor-hours 113,400 DLHs

Required:

1. Compute the product margins for the Xtreme and the Pathfinder products under the company’s traditional costing system.

2. The company is considering replacing its traditional costing system with an activity-based costing system that would assign its manufacturing overhead to the following four activity cost pools (the Other cost pool includes organization-sustaining costs and idle capacity costs):

Estimated
Overhead Cost
Expected Activity
Activities and Activity Measures Xtreme Pathfinder Total
Supporting direct labor (direct labor-hours) $ 703,080 37,400 76,000 113,400
Batch setups (setups) 480,000 220 180 400
Product sustaining (number of products) 700,000 1 1 2
Other 44,720 NA NA NA
Total manufacturing overhead cost $ 1,927,800

Compute the product margins for the Xtreme and the Pathfinder products under the activity-based costing system.

3. Prepare a quantitative comparison of the traditional and activity-based cost assignments.

repare a quantitative comparison of the traditional and activity-based cost assignments. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places and "Percentage" answers to 1 decimal place.)
