An eight-station rotary-indexing machine performs machining operations at seven workstations, and the eighth station is used for unloading and loading parts. The longest process time is 1.55 min and the loading/unloading time is less than this. It takes 9.0 sec to index the machine between workstations. Stations break down with a frequency of 0.005, which is considered equal for all eight stations. When breakdowns occur, it takes an average of 7.0 min to diagnose the problem and make repairs. The starting work part costs $3.50 per unit. Operating cost of the indexing machine is $96/hr, and tooling cost is $0.38 per piece. Determine (a) line efficiency, (b) average hourly production rate, and (c) completed part cost.

Calculate the cost of each capital component—in other words, the after-tax cost of debt, the cost of preferred stock (including flotation costs), and the cost of equity (ignoring flotation costs). use both the capm method and the dividend growth approach to find the cost of equity.calculate the cost of new stock using the dividend growth approach.what is the cost of new common stock based on the capm? (hint: find the difference between re and rs as determined by the dividend growth approach and then add that difference to the capm value for rs.)assuming that gao will not issue new equity and will continue to use the same target capital structure, what is the company’s wacc? e. suppose gao is evaluating three projects with the following characteristics.each project has a cost of $1 million. they will all be financed using the target mix of long-term debt, preferred stock, and common equity. the cost of the common equity for each project should be based on the beta estimated for the project. all equity will come from reinvested earnings.equity invested in project a would have a beta of 0.5 and an expected return of 9.0%.equity invested in project b would have a beta of 1.0 and an expected return of 10.0%.equity invested in project c would have a beta of 2.0 and an expected return of 11.0%.analyze the company’s situation, and explain why each project should be accepted or rejected g

Bdj co. wants to issue new 22-year bonds for some much-needed expansion projects. the company currently has 9.2 percent coupon bonds on the market that sell for $1,132, make semiannual payments, have a $1,000 par value, and mature in 22 years. what coupon rate should the company set on its new bonds if it wants them to sell at par?
