Answer:
e. If one stock has a lower dividend yield, then it must also have a higher dividend growth rate.
Explanation:
Rate of return can be defined as the percentage of interest or dividends earned on money that is invested.
In Financial accounting, a return refers to the amount of profit generated by an investor on an investment over a specific period of time.
Basically, the rate of return which is typically expressed as a percentage of the initial costs of an investment can either be a gain or a loss on an investment. Therefore, a positive rate of return on an investment over a specific period of time, simply means that an investor is making a profit (gains) while a negative rate of return on an investment over a specific period of time, indicates that the investor is running at a loss.
Two constant growth stocks are in equilibrium, have the same price, and have the same required rate of return. Thus, if one stock has a lower dividend yield, then it must also have a higher dividend growth rate and vice-versa.
Answer:
e. If one stock has a lower dividend yield, then it must also have a higher dividend growth rate.

Organizations exchange information internally and externally. External messages go to customers, vendors, the government, and other business partners. Internal messages travel upward to supervisors, downward to employees, and horizontally among workers. Understanding the different types of business messages and following the 3-x-3 writing process will help you write more effective professional messages.
Match the message content area with the correct types of messages.
a. Sales pitches, requests for favors
b. Replies, goodwill messages, direct claims
c. Bad news, refusals
1. persuasive
2. positive
3. negative
Answer:
1. persuasive: a. Sales pitches, requests for favors
2. positive: b. Replies, goodwill messages, direct claims
3. negative: c. Bad news, refusals
Explanation:
a) A persuasive speech is one whose goal is to convince someone of something, so it is correct to say that in an organizational message where there are sales speeches and requests for favors, there is a need for a persuasive speech, whose message seeks to convince the sender of the benefits of make a sale for example.
b) A positive speech is one whose intention is to motivate, give praise, offer positive feedback, etc. Therefore, in responses, messages of goodwill, direct claims, positive speech will help in better understanding of the sender and in the positive positioning of the company.
c) A negative discourse occurs when there is bad news to be shared, it is necessary that this message is written in a soft way, with damping words and indirectly, because this way the acceptability can be greater.
Place the following steps for developing a credit policy in the correct order of process: A: The company hopes that few customers will miss payments, so it decides to take no action to collect bad debts. B: The company decides that payments must be made within 45 days. C: The company decides that it's willing to lose sales in exchange for less bad debt risk. B, C, A C, A, B B, A, C C, B, A
Answer: C, B, A
Explanation:
First the company would decide that it would like less bad debt risk and would be willing to risk losing sales by instituting tougher restrictions on credit sales.
One such restriction would be that payments must be made within 45 days.
With this restriction, the firm will hope that less doubts are defaulted on so it will not take any action to collect bad debts.
g At the beginning of the month, the Painting Department of Skye Manufacturing had 39,000 units in inventory, 75% complete as to materials, and 20% complete as to conversion. During the month the department started 134,000 units and transferred 148,500 units to the next manufacturing department. At the end of the month, the department had 24,500 units in inventory, 40% complete as to materials and 15% complete as to conversion. If Skye Manufacturing uses the weighted average method of process costing, compute the equivalent units for materials and conversion respectively for the Painting Department. Group of answer choices 158,300 materials; 152,175 conversion. 152,175 materials; 158,300 conversion. 158,300 materials; 144,375 conversion. 129,050 materials; 152,175 conversion. 129,050 materials; 144,375 conversion.
Answer:
Skye Manufacturing
Painting Department
Equivalent units:
158,300 materials; 152,175 conversion
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Beginning WIP = 39,000 units; Degree of completion: 75% materials and 20% conversion.
Units started during the month = 134,000
Units completed and transferred out = 148,500
Ending units of WIP = 24,500
Equivalent units, using the weighted average method of process costing:
Units Materials Conversion
Units transferred out 148,500 148,500 (100%) 148,500 (100%)
Ending Work in Process 24,500 9,800 (40%) 3,675 (15%)
Total equivalent units 158,300 152,175
Calculate the arithmetic average returns for large-company stocks and T-bills over this period. (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. Calculate the standard deviation of the returns for large-company stocks and T-bills over this period. (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) c-1. Calculate the observed risk premium in each year for the large-company stocks versus the T-bills. What was the average risk premium over this period
Answer:
a. Arithmetic average returns for large company stocks:
= (0.0389 + 0.1414 + 0.1913 - 0.1455 - 0.3204 + 0.3737) / 6
= 4.66%
Arithmetic average returns for T-bills:
= (0.0581 + 0.0247 + 0.0370 + 0.0713 + 0.0518 + 0.0616) / 6
= 0.05075
= 5.08%
b. First find variance.
Variance of large company stock:
Variance is divided by n - 1
= {(0.0389 - 0.0466)² + (0.1414 - 0.0466)² + (0.1913 - 0.0466)² + (-0.1455 - 0.0466)² + (-0.3204 - 0.0466)² + (0.3737 - 0.0466)²} / 5
= 0.0617140
Standard deviation = √0.0617140
= 24.84%
Variance of T-bills
= {(0.0581 - 0.0508)² + (0.0247 - 0.0508)² + (0.0370 - 0.0508)² + (0.0713 - 0.0508)² + (0.0518 - 0.0508)² + (0.0616 - 0.0508)²} / 5
= 0.0002926
Standard deviation = √0.0002926
= 1.71%
c. Risk Premiums:
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3
= 3.89% - 5.81% = 14.14% - 2.47% = 19.13% - 3.70%
= -1.92% = 11.67% = 15.43%
Year 4 Year 5 Year 6
= -14.55% - 7.13% = -32.04% - 5.18% =37.37% - 6.16%
= -21.68% = -37.22% = 31.21%
Average risk premium:
= (-0.0192 + 0.1167 + 0.1543 - 0.2168 - 0.3722 + 0.3121) / 6
= -0.42%
On January 1, 2019, Lightfoot Corporation issues 10%, 5-year bonds with a face value of $275,000 when the effective interest rate is 9%. Interest is to be paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31. Prepare calculations to prove that the selling price of the bonds is $285,880.07. Click here to access the tables to use with this exercise. Round your answers to two decimal places, if necessary. Present value of principal$fill in the blank 1 Present value of interestfill in the blank 2 Selling price
Answer:
Face Value of Bonds = $275,000
Annual Coupon Rate = 10%
Semiannual Coupon Rate = 5%
Semiannual Coupon = 5% * $275,000 = $13,750
Time to Maturity = 5 years
Semiannual Period = 10
Annual Interest Rate = 9%
Semiannual Interest Rate = 4.5%
Present Value of Principal = $275,000 * PV of $1 (4.50%, 10)
Present Value of Principal = $275,000 * 0.643928
Present Value of Principal = $177,080.20
Present Value of Interest = $13,750 * PVA of $1 (4.50%, 10)
Present Value of Interest = $13,750 * 7.912718
Present Value of Interest = $108,799.87
Cross-Check
Selling Price = Present Value of Principal + Present Value of Interest = $177,080.20 + $108,799.87 = $285,880.07
elisa Corporation has two divisions: Division L and Division Q. Data from the most recent month appear below: Total Company Division L Division Q Sales $528,000 $142,000 $386,000 Variable expenses 319,460 72,420 247,040 Contribution margin 208,540 69,580 138,960 Traceable fixed expenses 109,920 29,400 80,520 Segment margin 98,620 $ 40,180 $ 58,440 Common fixed expenses 55,370 Net operating income $ 43,250 The break-even in sales dollars for Division Q is closest to:
Answer:
the break even point in sales dollars is $223,667
Explanation:
The computation of the break even point in sales dollars is shown below:
= Fixed cost ÷ contribution margin ratio
= $80,520 ÷ ($138,960 ÷ $386,000)
= $80,520 ÷ 36%
= $223,667
Hence, the break even point in sales dollars is $223,667
The Acme Company produces and sells widgets. They currently charge $48 per widget, and they sell 452 widgets per week. If the price is increased to $54.58 per widget, then 62 fewer widgets per week can be sold. Assuming that demand is linear, find the value for elasticity of demand at the current price. Round as necessary.
Answer:
1
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
percentage change in quantity demanded = (452 - 62 / 452) - 1 = -0.137
percentage change in price = (54.58 / 48) - 1 = 0.137
=-0.137 / 0.137 = -1
-1 in absolute terms = 1
makes a product with the following standards for direct labor and variable overhead: Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost Per Unit Direct labor 0.20 hours $ 26.00 per hour $ 5.20 Variable overhead 0.20 hours $ 6.20 per hour $ 1.24 In November the company's budgeted production was 6500 units, but the actual production was 6300 units. The company used 1550 direct labor-hours to produce this output. The actual variable overhead cost was $8990. The company applies variable overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. The variable overhead rate variance for November is:
Answer:
See
Explanation:
Given that;
Direct labor hours used to produce this output = 1,550
Actual variable overhead cost = $8,990
Variable overhead per hour = $6.2
The variable overhead rate variance for July is;
= Direct labor hours used to produce this out put × (Actual variable overhead rate per hour - Variable overhead per hour)
= 1,550 × ($8,990/1,550 - $6.2)
= 1,550 × ($5.8 - $6.2)
= 1,550 × (-$0.4)
= $620 favorable

Continent Construction Company is a building contractor specializing in small commercial buildings. The company has the opportunity to accept one of two jobs; it cannot accept both because they must be performed at the same time and Continent does not have the necessary labor force for both jobs. Indeed, it will be necessary to hire a new supervisor if either job is accepted. Furthermore, additional insurance will be required if either job is accepted. The revenue and costs associated with each job follow.
Cost Category Job A Job B
Contract price $800,000 $750,000
Unit—level materials 250,000 220,000
Unit—level labor 260,000 310,000
Unit—level overhead 40,000 30,000
Supervisor's salary 70,000 70,000
Rental equipment costs 26,000 29,000
Depreciation on tools (zero market value) 19,900 19,900
Allocated portion of companywide facility—sustaining costs 10,400 8,600
Insurance cost for job 18,200 18,200
Required
a. Assume that Continent has decided to accept one of the two jobs. Fill in the information relevant to selecting one job versus the other. Recommend which job to accept.
b. Assume that Job A is no longer available. Continent's choice is to accept or reject Job B alone. Fill in the information relevant to this decision. Recommend whether to accept or reject Job B.
Answer:
1. Job A is considered for recommendation
2. Accept B
Explanation:
1. We calculate contribution for A and B
For job A
$(800000-250000-260000-40000-26000)
= $224000
For job B
$(750000-220000-310000-30000-29000)
= $161000
We compare the costs of both jobs. A has more contribution compared to B so we consider A.
2. A is no longer available
We add supervisors salary as well as insurance as additional costs
$(750000-220000-310000-30000-29000-70000-18200)
= 72800
The contribution from b is positive so the decision is to accept it.

Rusty has been experiencing serious financial problems. His annual salary was $100,000, but a creditor garnished his salary for $20,000; so the employer paid the creditor (rather than Rusty) the $20,000. To prevent creditors from attaching his investments, Rusty gave his investments to his 21-year-old daughter, Rebecca. Rebecca received $5,000 in dividends and interest from the investments during the year. Rusty transferred some cash to a Swiss bank account that paid him $6,000 interest during the year. Rusty did not withdraw the interest from the Swiss bank account. Rusty also hid some of his assets in his wholly owned corporation that received $150,000 rent income but had $160,000 in related expenses, including a $20,000 salary paid to Rusty. Rusty reasons that his gross income should be computed as follows:
Salary received $80,000
Loss from rental property ($150,000-$160,000) (10,000)
Gross income $70,000
Compute rustys correct gross income for the year, and explain any differences between your calculation and rusty
Answer:
Rusty annual salary was $100,000.
Rusty will not be taxed on the interest and dividend amount of $5,000 as Rebecca is the owner of the assets that is producing this income.
Secondly, Rusty will also need to report the $6,000 interest income. This has to be reported even though it has not been withdrawn.
Thirdly, he received $20,000 as salary from his wholly owned corporation.
Salary from employer $100,000
Salary from wholly owned corporation $20,000
Dividends and interest from the investments $0
Interest from Swiss bank account $6,000
Rental loss incurred $0
Gross income $126,000
Prior to May 1, Fortune Company has never had any treasury stock transactions. A company repurchased 130 shares of its common stock on May 1 for $6,500. On July 1, it reissued 65 of these shares at $53 per share. On August 1, it reissued the remaining treasury shares at $48 per share. What is the balance in the Paid-in Capital, Treasury Stock account on August 2
Answer:
Fortune Company
There is a balance of ($65) in the Paid-in Capital, Treasury Stock account on August 2.
However, this balance will be transferred to the Additional Paid-in Capital account at year-end, since there are no outstanding shares for the Treasury Stock account.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
May 1 Repurchase of 130 shares (Treasury Stock) = $6,500

Three accuracy problems with the consumer price index (CPI) are Group of answer choices price confusion, substitution, and quality changes. substitution, quality changes, and the money illusion. substitution, quality changes, and the availability of new goods and services. the availability of new goods and services, substitution, and traditional bundle bias. the income effect, substitution effect, and money illusion.
Answer:
Option b (Substitution.....services) is the appropriate choice.
Explanation:
The above leads to calculating difficulties as well as the failure throughout the Index to identify better products and services contributing to less precise inflation outcomes.It does not take account of the replacement facilities, which arise when an increase throughout the price of one promising recommendation to a replacement including its good by another, which often increases the costs of one quality.The other options are not related to the given scenario. So the above is the correct choice.
A-Rod Manufacturing Company is trying to calculate its cost of capital for use in making a capital budgeting decision. Mr. Jeter, the vice-president of finance, has given you the following information and has asked you to compute the weighted average cost of capital.
The company currently has outstanding a bond with a 10.6 percent coupon rate and another bond with an 8.2 percent rate. The firm has been informed by its investment banker that bonds of equal risk and credit rating are now selling to yield 11.5 percent. The common stock has a price of $60 and an expected dividend (D1) of $1.80 per share. The historical growth pattern (g) for dividends is as follows:
1.35
1.49
1.64
1.80
The preferred stock is selling at $80 per share and pays a dividend of $7.60 per share. The corporate tax rate is 30 percent. The flotation cost is 2.5 percent of the selling price for preferred stock. The optimum capital structure for the firm is 25 percent debt, 10 percent preferred stock, and 65 percent common equity in the form of retained earnings.
(a) Compute the historical growth rate. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places and final answer to the nearest whole percent. Omit the "%" sign in your response.)
Growth rate %
(b) Compute the cost of capital for the individual components in the capital structure. (Round growth rate to nearest whole percent. Round your answers to 2 decimal places. Omit the "%" sign in your response.)
Cost of capital
Debt (Kd) %
Preferred stock (Kp)
Common equity (Ke)
(c) Calculate the weighted cost of each source of capital and the weighted average cost of capital. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answers to 2 decimal places. Omit the "%" sign in your response.)
Weighted cost
Debt (Kd) %
Preferred stock (Kp)
Common equity (Ke)
Weighted average cost of capital (Ka) %
Answer:
PV = 1.35
FV = 1.8
n = 3
a. Growth rate = Rate(N, -PV, FV)
Growth rate = Rate(3, -1.35, 1.8)
Growth rate = 0.10
Growth rate = 10%
B. Cost of debt Kd (After tax) = 11.5%*(1-0.30) = 8.05%
Cost of preference share Kp = Dividend/Price = 7.6 /[80*(1 - 0.025)] = 9.74%
Cost of equity Ke = D1/P0+g = 1.8/60 + 0.1 = 0.03+0.1 = 0.13 = 13%
c. Source Weight A COC(%)(B) Weight cost of capital(A*B)
Debt 25% 8.05% 2.01%
Preferred stock 10% 9.74% 0.97%
Common stock 65% 13.00% 8.45%
Weighted average cost of capital 11.44%

Baker Industriesâ net income is $23000, its interest expense is $6000, and its tax rate is 45%. Its notes payable equals $24000, long-term debt equals $80000, and common equity equals $250000. The firm finances with only debt and common equity, so it has no preferred stock.
Required:
What are the firmâs ROE and ROIC?
Answer:A) ROE=9.2%
B)ROIC =7.43%
Explanation:
Given that
Net income = $23,000 ,
Interest expense = $6000 ,
Tax rate = 45%
Notes payable = $24,000 ,
Longterm debt = $80,000 ,
Common equity = $250,000
A) ROE is calculated as Net income/ Common equity
= 23000/250,000 = 0.092= 9.2%
B.) ROIC = EBIT X (1- Tax rate ) / Invested capital
So we have that Net income before Tax = Net Income X 100/ 100-tax rate
23000x 100 /100-45
2300000/55
=$41,818.18
So that EBIT becomes = Net income before tax + Interest
= $41,818.18 + 6000 = $47,818.18
And
Invested capital = Notes payable + Longterm debt + Common equity
= 24,000+80,000+250,000
=$354,000
Therefore, ROIC = EBIT X (1- Tax rate ) / Invested capital
$47,818.18 X(1-0.45)/354,000
$47,818.18 x 0.55 / 354000
26,299.999/354,000
=0.07429
=7.429%
Rounding up becomes =7.43%
A company is forecasted to generate free cash flows of $25 million next year and $29 million the year after. After that, cash flows are projected to grow at a stable rate in perpetuity. The company's cost of capital is 12.0%. The company has $34 million in debt, $19 million of cash, and 23 million shares outstanding. Using an exit multiple for the company's free cash flows (EV/FCFF) of 17, what's your estimate of the company's stock price
Answer:
$18.41
Explanation:
Equity value = FCF next year / (1 + cost of capital) + FCF in year 2 / (1 + cost of capital)^2 + 1 / (1 + cost of capital)^2 * [ (FCF in year 2 * exit multiple)]
= $25 million/1.12 + $29 million/1.12^2 + 1 / 1.12^2*[($29 million*17)]
= $25 million/1.12 + $29 million/1.12^2 + $493 million/1.12^2
= $25 million / 1.12 + $522 million / 1.12^2
= $438.4566327 million
The stock price = ($438.4566327 million - Debt + Cash) / Number of shares outstanding
= ($438.4566327 million - $34 million + $19 million) / 23 million shares
= $423.4566327 million / 23 million shares
= 18.4111579435
= $18.41
You plan to retire in 28 years. You would like to maintain your current level of consumption which is $52,672 per year. You will need to have 30 years of consumption during your retirement. You can earn 5.03% per year (nominal terms) on your investments. In addition, you expect inflation to be 2.82% inflation per year, from now and through your retirement. How much do you have to invest each year, starting next year, for 13 years, in nominal terms to just cover your retirement needs?
Answer:
The amount to invest each year for 13 years is $5,617.37.
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)
Where;
PV = current level of consumption = $52,672
P = amount to invest each year = ?
r = annual nominal interest rate = 5.03%, or 0.0503
n = number of years = 13
Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for n, we have:
$52,672 = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.0503))^13) / 0.0503)
$52,672 = P * 9.37662983027493
P = $52,672 / 9.37662983027493
P = $5,617.37
Therefore, the amount to invest each year for 13 years is $5,617.37.
3. The day after Thanksgiving, known as Black Friday, is the biggest shopping day
of the year. One major retailer advertised a "Black Friday only" laptop for $150.
On Thanksgiving night, hundreds of people waited for the store to open to take
advantage of the laptop deal-only to learn that the store only had two units for
sale at the discounted price. Did the retailer breach its contract with the hundreds
of consumers who sought the deal? What obligation, if any, does the retailer have
to its consumers?
Answer:
No there is no breach of contract since the retailer should have mentioned that stock is limited.
Explanation:
The retailer should have mentioned with the advertisement that the stock is limited. If such is the case then there is no breach as it is up to the store how many units it has kept for sale. The store should be opened on Black Friday and those customers who grab the sale items first will be given the discounted products. It is not responsibility of the store to entertain every customer as the stock in the store is limited.
It is now January 1, 2018, and you are considering the purchase of an outstanding bond that was issued on January 1, 2016. It has a 9% annual coupon and had a 20-year original maturity. (It matures on December 31, 2035.) There is 5 years of call protection (until December 31, 2020), after which time it can be called at 109-that is, at 109% of par, or $1,090. Interest rates have declined since it was issued, and it is now selling at 114.12% of par, or $1,141.20. What is the yield to maturity
Answer:
YTM is 7.54%.
Explanation:
The yield to maturity can be calculated using the following RATE function in Excel:
YTM = RATE(nper,pmt,-pv,fv) .............(1)
Where;
YTM = yield to maturity = ?
nper = number of periods = number of years to maturity = original maturity number of years - number of years between January 1, 2016 and January 1, 2018 = 20 - 2 = 18
pmt = annual coupon payment = face value * annual coupon rate = 1000 * 9% = 90 (Note: This is an inflow to the bondholder and it is therefore a positive figure).
pv = present value = current bond price = -1141.20 (Note: This is an outflow to the buyer of the bond and it is therefore a negative figure).
fv = face value of the bond = 1000 (Note: This is an inflow to the bondholder and it is therefore a positive figure).
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
YTM = RATE(18,90,-1141.20,1000) ............ (2)
Inputting =RATE(18,90,-1141.20,1000) into excel (Note: as done in the attached excel file), the YTM is obtained as 7.54%.
Therefore, YTM is 7.54%.
When the equity method of accounting for investments is used by the investor, the amortization of additional depreciation due to differences between book values and fair values of investee assets on the date of acquisition: Group of answer choices Increases the investment account and reduces investment revenue. Increases the investment account and increases investment revenue. Reduces the investment account and increases investment revenue. Reduces the investment account and reduces investment revenue.
Answer:
d. Reduces the investment account and reduces investment revenue.
Explanation:
When the equity method of accounting for investments is used by the investor, the amortization of additional depreciation due to differences between book values and fair values of investee assets on the date of acquisition reduces the investment account and reduces investment revenue.
The amortization of additional depreciation reduces the investment account in the investee as well as reduces the income recognized from investee.
In the equity method, an investor amortizes, or expenses, the additional over book value paid for its portion of the investee's tangible non current assets. For non current assets, book value is purchase price minus accumulated depreciation. The investor amortizes the amount above book value it allocates to investee assets.
Patty and Bob were in a romantic relationship. While they were seeing each other, Patty and Bob acquired an electronics service center, Bob paying $60,000 and Patty running all facets of the center. The center becomes very profitable. Two years later, when the romantic relationship ended, Bob goes to court for a declaration that they had no partnership because they did not have a written partnership agreement and Patty contributed no cash, she was merely an employee. Did they have a partnership
Answer:
Most states accept oral agreements when forming partnerships. This would not be an exception. the fact that Patty didn't contribute any money doesn't mean that she cannot be considered a partner. Her contribution might be her labor. Unless the partnership previously recorded Patty as an employee, then she can claim being a partner. Since no written agreement was made, profits must be divided equally.
Explanation:
The decision regarding the partnership between Patty and Bob would be as follows:
Yes, they have been partners where one has employed capital while the other has employed his entrepreneurship.
What is Partnership?A Partnership is described as an acquaintance and association that exists between two or more individuals in order to run a business.
In the given situation, although there is no written agreement between them, Bob will have an equal share in the profit of the business.
The reason behind this is that one employed his capital while the other employed his skills and efforts(entrepreneurship).
Thus, they would be considered as partners as he was not hired as an employee in the company.

Company records disclosed that the firm completed 40,000 units during the month and had 10,000 units in process at month-end, 20% complete. Conversion costs associated with the beginning work-in-process inventory amounted to $231,000, and amounts that relate to the current month totaled $966,000. If conversion is incurred uniformly throughout manufacturing, Peach's equivalent-unit cost is:_________
A. $23.00
B. $23.94
C. $24.15
D. $28.50
E. some other amount
Answer:
D. $28.50
Explanation:
Peach Equivalent-unit cost = Total Cost / Units
Peach Equivalent-unit cost = ($966000 + $231000) / (40000 units + (10000 units*20% completion))
Peach Equivalent-unit cost = $1197000 / (40000 units + 2000 units)
Peach Equivalent-unit cost = $1197000 / 42000 units
Peach Equivalent-unit cost = $28.50
