Answer:
<em>c. The reasoning of both Alfons and Mary suffers from the omitted variable problem</em>
Explanation:
The issue of omitted variables occurs as a result of mis-specification of a linear regression model, which could be either because the impact of the omitted variable on both the dependent variable is unclear, or the evidence was not accessible.
This causes you to omit the variable from your regression, resulting in over-estimation (upward bias) or underestimation (downward) of the influence of one of the other predictor variables.
Answer:
4.96%
Explanation:
In order to determine the component after-tax cost of debt first we need to compute the before tax cost of debt by applying the RATE formula which is to be shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Present value = $1,155
Future value or Face value = $1,000
PMT = 1,000 × 8.25% ÷ 2 = $41.25
NPER = 40 years × 2 = 80 years
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after applying the above formula
1. The pretax cost of debt is 3.54% × 2 = 7.08%
2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be
= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)
= 7.08% × ( 1 - 0.30)
= 4.96%
Answer:
-$4,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of cash flow from investing activities is shown below:
= Paid a $4,000 cash to purchase land
Since the land is purchase for cash so the amount is to be shown in the investing activities in a negative value as the purchase is the outflow of cash
So the same is relevant
Answer:
The Amount of pension expense is $195,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of pension expenses reported is shown below:
Service cost $150,000
Interest on projected benefit obligation 63,000
Amortization of prior service $54,000
Less: Expected return on plan assets -$72,000
The Amount of pension expense is $195,000
We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come
And, the same is to be considered
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the above details, post closing ending balance of retained earnings would be calculated by
= Debit balance in the retained earning + credit in the retained earnings - Credit balance in the retained earnings
= $308,800 + $99,000 - $347,400
= $60,400
