The return on common stockholders’ equity is computed by dividing a) net income less preferred dividends by ending common stockholders’ equity. b) net income less preferred dividends by average common stockholders’ equity. c) net income by ending common stockholders’ equity. d) net income by average common stockholders’ equity.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

b) net income less preferred dividends by average common stockholders’ equity

Explanation:

Common stock dividends in a company is paid to stockholders after preferred dividends have been removed.

Preference shares are issued to investors with an agreement that they will recieve dividends before other shareholders.

So when calculating return on common stockholder's equity we will first deduct dividend paid to preference share holders.

The income coming to common share holders is now divided by average common stockholders equity to get the return on common stock equity.

Return on equity is usually used as a measure of how efficiently management uses company's assets to generate profits.

Now use the constant growth model to estimate the cost of equity. c. Which of the two estimates is more reasonable?

Answers

Answer:

a. 13.60 %

b. 10.00 %

c. CAPM accounts for investment risk and can be applied by any company irregardless of dividend size or growth rate.

Explanation:

Cost of Equity is the return required by holders of Common Stock

1. CAPM

Cost of Equity = Expected Return on Risk Free Security + Company`s Beta × Market Risk Premium

                       = 0.04 + 1.20 × 0.08

                       = 13.60 %

2. Constant growth model

Cost of Equity = Current Dividend Yield + Expected Growth

                        = 2 % + 8 %

                        = 10.00 %

On January 1, a company issues bonds dated January 1 with a par value of $320,000. The bonds mature in 5 years. The contract rate is 7%, and interest is paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31. The market rate is 6% and the bonds are sold for $333,650. The journal entry to record the first interest payment using the effective interest method of amortization is: (Rounded to the nearest dollar.)

Answers

Answer: Debit interest expense $10,010, debit premium on bonds payable $1,190, credit cash $11,200.

Explanation:

Given the following :

Par value = $320,000

Bonds payable = $333,650

Market rate = 6% compounded semianually

Contract rate = 7%

Cash credited :

Par value * contract rate = $320,000 * 0.07 * 0.5 = $11,200

Interest Expense :

Bonds payable * market rate * 0.5

$333,650 * 0.06 * 0.5 = $10,009.5 (debit)

= $10,010 ( nearest dollar)

Discount Premium on bonds :

Cash - interest expense

$11200 - $10010 = $1,190

Answers

Answer:  D. $10,000 deductible ordinary loss and $3,000 non-deductible loss

Explanation:

Should a person surrender a variable annuity early, their cost basis will be  the amount they invested to get the annuity and the redemption amount will be considered as sales proceeds. If the sales proceeds are less than the cost basis, this is a loss and will be treated as a deductible ordinary loss.

The surrender fee will not however be treated as an deductible loss meaning that in this case $3,000 would be a non-deductible loss and $10,000 would be a deductible ordinary loss.

If a typical U.S. company correctly estimates its WACC at a given point in time and then uses that same cost of capital to evaluate all projects for the next 10 years, then the firm will most likely

Answers

Available Options Are:

A. Become riskier over time, but its intrinsic value will be maximized.

B. Become less risky over time, and this will maximize its intrinsic value.

C. Accept too many low-risk projects and too few high-risk projects.

D. Become more risky and also have an increasing WACC. Its intrinsic value will not be maximized.

E. Continue as before, because there is no reason to expect its risk position or value to change over time as a result of its use of a single cost of capital.

Answer:

Option D. Become more risky and also have an increasing WACC. Its intrinsic value will not be maximized.

Explanation:

The reason is that different projects require different level of funding. If we are not increasing Debt and Equity at the same proportion for funding all the projects then we are actually increasing our WACC which means that the acceptability of the projects will not be appropriate here. The risk profile of all individual projects also matter because we use Ke cost of equity to calculate the WACC, which is calculated using the CAPM formula. And Beta Asset is the risk of the individual project industry which is used in the CAPM formula. All this increases the WACC which shows that the risk profile of the company has grown upwards.

Furthermore, if the WACC is higher then the intrinsic value of the projects can not be maximized and that's the reason why most firms try to have optimal level of capital structure (Percentage of equity and debt that gives lowest WACC).

Hence the option D is correct.

Data for Shelby Company for the current year is as follows: Sales Revenue $10,000 Cost of Goods Sold: Beginning Merchandise Inventory $3,000 Net Cost of Purchases 7,000 Cost of Goods Available for Sale 10,000 Less: Ending Merchandise Inventory 2,000 Cost of Goods Sold 8,000 Gross Profit $2,000 Assume that the ending Merchandise Inventory was accidentally overstated by $500. What are the correct amounts for Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit?

Answers

Answer:

$8,500 and $1,500

Explanation:

The computation of the corrected amount for the cost of goods sold and the gross profit is shown below:

Since the ending inventory is overstated by $500 that means it is extra added so we deduct this amount from the ending inventory i.e

= $2,000 - $500

= $1,500

Now the cost of goods sold is

= Sales revenue - ending inventory

= $10,000 - $1,500

= $8,500

And, as we know that

Gross profit = Sales revenue - the cost of goods sold

= $10,000 - $8,500

= $1,500

Answer:

Punishment.

Explanation:

In this scenario, Blake racked up three safety violations in one month and was taken off the construction crew and put in the office, meaning he was no longer eligible for overtime. He pled with his boss, saying he needed the money for rent. Citing that Blake's financial situation was not a concern of the company, he was put in the office until he could demonstrate that safety was a priority. This illustrates punishment.

Punishment can be defined as an act of imposing a penalty or consequences on an individual or group of people for flouting rules, guidelines or instructions and any other wrongdoing.

Generally, punishments are used as a moral tool to discourage wrongdoing or unacceptable behaviors being exhibited by people and to serve as a deterrent to others.

Given that he had violated three safety precautions in just one month, the managers action of removing him from the construction site illustrates punishment.

This is an example of positive punishment in the workplace. Punishment is a way of disapproving of certain work behaviors that are unacceptable.

Safety in the workplace is a matter of grave concern. From this punishment that he is made to receive, he would be more safety conscious when he is allowed to join the crew.

The manager's action was very necessary to avoid negative workplace incidents.
