Answer:
a. Depreciation expense is not explicitly included, but depreciation's effects are reflected in the estimated tax payments.
Explanation:
The cash budget is the budget that represents the receipts and payment of transactions held in cash
It includes the interest and dividend payment as it shows the outflow of cash if payment is made in cash
Moreover, it also affects the DSO and includes cash inflows with related to the long term sources such as issuance of bonds
But as we know that the depreciation is a non cash expense so it not much included but its effects are projected in the payment of tax
Answer: The cost of the equipment is $66,500.
Explanation: Under IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment, the cost of an asset comprises:
- purchase price plus import duties and taxes
- any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in a manner intended by management
- the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located
In the question, $60,000 was the purchase price, the transportation cost of $1,000 was necessary to bring the asset to the location intended by management, $3,000 was the sales tax and the installation cost of $2,500 was also necessary for the asset to function as intended by management. So all these costs would be capitalized as the cost of the equipment as $66,500.
Answer:
These questions are incomplete since the article relating to Hologen company is not attached. However, I would answer them this way.
Explanation:
1) A floating rate bond has a shorter duration; almost zero and it has lower sensitivity to interest rates compared to a fixed rate bond.This means that the former has a lower interest rate risk. Investors tend to demand floating rate bonds when they expect future interest rates to rise because their prices would be close to their par values as their interest rates would also increase. On the other hand, fixed bond's interest rates are inversely related to their prices.
2)
For an issuing company, borrowing money floating rates terms could be riskier for cashflow management purposes . Every time interest rates increases, it means that the company would pay higher interests to lenders which could hurt its profitability. The fluctuations could also negatively affect future financial planning unlike issuing fixed rate bonds whose coupon payments are constant hence decreasing the volatility of earnings.
