Pisa, Inc.’s incremental borrowing rate is 8% Pisa, Inc. uses the straight-line method to amortize similar assets. What is the amount of amortization expense recorded by Pisa, Inc. in the first year of the asset’s life?
Complete Question:
Pisa, Inc. leased equipment from Tower Company under a four-year lease requiring equal annual payments of $344,152, with the first payment due at lease inception. The lease does not transfer ownership, nor is there a bargain purchase option. The equipment has a 4-year useful life and no salvage value. Pisa, Inc.’s incremental borrowing rate is 10% and the rate implicit in the lease (which is known by Pisa, Inc.) is 8%. Pisa, Inc. uses the straight-line method to amortize similar assets. What is the amount of amortization expense recorded by Pisa, Inc. in the first year of the asset’s life?
PV Annuity Due PV Ordinary Annuity
8%, 4 periods 3.57710 3.31213
10%, 4 periods 3.48685 3.16986
a. $0 because the asset is amortized by Tower Company.
b. $284,968
c. $307,767
d. $300,000
Answer:
$307,767
Explanation:
We have to calculate the annuity value to estimate the value of the right to use and this is given as under:
Right to Use Value = Equal Annual Payments * (PV of Annuity due at 8%)
Here
Equivalent Annual Payment is $344,152
PV of Annuity due at 8% is 3.57710
By putting values, we have:
Right to Use Value = $344,152 * 3.57710 = $1,231,066
Now we will find amount of amortization expense recorded for first year:
Per year Amortization = $1,231,066 / 4 Years = $307,767

The shares are added rather than deducted. C. The shares are treated as being acquired at the end of the year. D. The shares are treated as being acquired at the beginning of the year. g
Answer: The shares are deducted rather than added
Explanation:
The adjustment to the weighted-average shares for retired shares is the same as for issuing new shares when the shares are added rather than deducted, the shares are treated as being acquired at the end of the year and the shares are treated as being acquired at the beginning of the year.
Therefore, the adjustment to the weighted-average shares for retired shares is the same as for issuing new shares except when the shares are deducted rather than added.
The market value of Charcoal Corporation's common stock is $20 million, and the market value of its risk-free debt is $5 million. The beta of the company's common stock is 1.25, and the market risk premium is 8%. If the Treasury bill rate is 5%, what is the company's cost of capital
Answer:
The company's cost of capital will be "13%".
Explanation:
The given values are:
Risk free rate
= 5
Beta
= 1.25
Market risk premium
= 8
Now,
⇒ [tex]cost \ of \ common \ stock=Risk \ free \ rate+Beta\times Market \ risk \ premium[/tex]
On substituting the estimated values, we get
⇒ [tex]=5+(1.25\times 8)[/tex]
⇒ [tex]=15 \ percent[/tex]
The total value will be:
= [tex]20 +5[/tex]
= $[tex]25 \ million[/tex]
As we know,
⇒ [tex]WACC=Respective \ costs\times Respective \ weights[/tex]
⇒ [tex]=(\frac{20}{25}\times15)+(\frac{5}{25}\times 5)[/tex]
⇒ [tex]=12+1[/tex]
⇒ [tex]=13 \ percent[/tex]
Note: % = percent

Hudson Corp. operates several factories that manufacture medical equipment. The factories have a historical cost of $200 million. Near the end of the company’s fiscal year, a change in business climate related to a competitor’s innovative products indicated to Hudson’s management that the $170 million carrying amount of the assets of one of Hudson’s factories may not be recoverable. Management identified cash flows from this factory and estimated that the undiscounted future cash flows over the remaining useful life of the factory would be $150 million. The fair value of the factory’s assets is reliably estimated to be $135 million. The change in business climate requires investigation of possible impairment. Which of the following amounts is the impairment loss?
A) $15 million.
B) $20 million.
C) $35 million.
D) $65 million.
Answer:
C) $35 million.
Explanation:
The computation of the impairment loss is shown below:
= Carrying amount of the assets - fair value of the factory assets
= $170 million - $135 million
= $35 million
Since the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset so the impairment loss is recorded and hence the same is to be considered.
Hence, the correct option is c.

"A customer in the 28% tax bracket has $4,000 of capital gains and $12,000 of capital losses. How much unused loss is carried forward to the next tax year?"
Answer:
$5,000
Explanation:
Given that:
A customer in the 28% tax bracket has $4,000 of capital gains and $12,000 of capital losses. How much unused loss is carried forward to the next tax year?
Capital gain = $4000
Capital loss = $12,000
Net loss = ( capital loss - capital gain)
Net loss = ($12,000 - $4,000)
Net loss = $8,000
Maximum net loss deductible from taxes In a year is $3000
Net loss - deductible
$8,000 - $3,000 = $5,000
Unused loss carried into the next year = $5,000

The market for plywood is characterized by the following demand and supply equations: QD = 800 – 10P and QS = 50P – 1,000, where P is the price per sheet of plywood and Q measures the quantity of plywood. What is the size of the deadweight loss if the government imposes a price ceiling of $25 per she
Answer:
$3,750
Explanation:
at $25 per sheet of plywood:
total demand = 800 - (10 x 25) = 800 - 250 = 550
total supply = (50 x 25) - 1,000 = 1,250 - 1,000 = 250
the equilibrium price is:
800 - 10P₁ = 50P₁ - 1,000
1,800 = 60P₁
P₁ = 1,800 / 60 = 30
the equilibrium quantity (Q₁) is:
Q₁ = 800 - (10 x 30) = 800 - 300 = 500
at 250 units, the price should be:
250 = 800 - 10P₂
10P₂ = 550
P₂ = $55
total deadweight loss = 0.5 x (P₂ - P₁) x (Q₂ - Q₁) = 0.5 x ($55 - $25) x (250 - 500) = 0.5 x $30 x -250 = -$3,750

A) Express warranty
B) Implied warranty of fitness
C) Implied warranty of merchantability
D) Section 402A
Answer:
Correct Answer:
B) Implied warranty of fitness
Explanation:
A products liability claim normally involves injury or damage caused by a defective product. Proving the claim usually involves one or more of three basic theories of liability: negligence, breach of contract/warranty, and strict liability.
Since there was a bridge of warranty by the truck dealership despite Palmer demanding the best truck, he would be able to sue the dealership under implied warranty of fitness.
