Option b. 7.78% is the correct answer. The cost of equity from retained earnings is 7.78% as per the CAPM approach

The relationship between systematic risk, or the general dangers of investing, and expected return for assets, particularly stocks, is described by the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM).

A linear relationship between the required return on investment and risk is established by this financial model.

Retained earnings refer to the total earnings that a company has generated from its operations minus the dividends distributed among shareholders. The retained earnings are earnings reinvested in the business.

The calculation is shown below.

Cost of equity = Risk-free rate + (beta * Market risk premium)

Cost of equity = 4.10% + (0.70 * 5.25%)

Cost of equity = 4.10% + 3.675%

Cost of equity = 7.77% or 7.78%

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer: $82,500

Explanation:

Saleh's salary for fiscal year ending September 30 = $330,000

Salary that should be paid between October 1 - December 31, if the corporation is to continue to use it's fiscal year without negative tax effect.

To avoid negative tax effect, the Saleh's salary should be atleast equal to the amount being given for the fiscal year which ended in September 30.

October 1 - December 31 = 3 months

Saleh's monthly salary = total slary during fiscal year ÷ 12

$330,000 ÷ 12 = $27,500

October 1 - December 31 = $27500 * 3 = $82,500

mixas84 [53]

Answer: $1,852,320

Explanation:

First find out the proportion owned by Matsui.

= 74,800 shares / 220,000

= 34%

The investment at the end of the year is:

= Cost of investment + Shares of net income - Share of dividend

Share of income:

= Percentage ownership * Net income

= 34% * 240,000

= $81,600

Share of dividend:

= 34% * 72,000

= $24,480

Investment at end of year:

= 1,795,200 + 81,600 - 24,480

= $1,852,320

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

(a) What was the total of accounts written off during the first 11 months?

bad debts written for the first 11 months = allowance for bad debt accounts January 1 balance + bad debt expense - allowance for bad debt accounts November 30 balance = $13,085 + $21,937 - $9,919 = $25,103

(b) As the result of a comprehensive analysis, it is determined that the December 31, 2010, balance of the Allowance for Bad Debts account should be $9,450. Show the adjustment required in the journal entry format.Allowance for bad debt Debit $Bad debt expenses Credit $

to determine the amount of bad debt expense that must be adjusted, we must subtract the estimated balance in December 31 from the balance in November 30 = $9,919 - $9,450 = $469. Since the November 30 amount is larger, it means that we over estimated our bad debt expense and it must be reduced:

Dr Allowance for doubtful accounts 469
