Answer:
$1,700,000
Explanation:
The computation of the NET accounts receivable (the cash realizable value) at December 31, 2019 is shown below:
= Account receivable - allowance for doubtful debts
= $2,000,000 - $300,000
= $1,700,000
By deducting the allowance for doubtful debts from the account receivable we can get the net account receivable or the cash realizable value
Therefore we ignored the bad debt expense
To find the value of the inventory to the nearest cent:
Estimated costs are: $18,750
Storage costs: 12%
Interest costs: 12%
Transportation costs: 5%
Let's add the costs up: 12% + 12% + 5% = 29%
We are solving for the value of inventory so in this case we will make that X.
X = estimated costs/interest amounts
X = $18,750/29%
X = $18,750/0.29
X = $64,655.17
The value of the inventory is $64,655.17
To check your work you can take $64,655.17 and multiply it by 29%
= $18,750
Answer:
r = 0.235 or 23.5%
Explanation:
Using the CAPM, we can calculate the required/expected rate of return on a stock. This is the minimum return required by the investors to invest in a stock based on its systematic risk, the market's risk premium and the risk free rate.
The formula for required rate of return under CAPM is,
r = rRF + Beta * rpM
Where,
- rRF is the risk free rate
r = 0.06 + 2.5 * 0.07
r = 0.235 or 23.5%
Answer:
Mrs.Smith should continue to operate the business in the short run but shut down in the long run.
Explanation:
According to the shut down rule, at the profit-maximizing positive level of output, a business in a competitive market should continue to operate in the short-term if the price equals to or is greater than the average variable cost, but should shut down in the long term if the price is less than or equal to total cost. Here,
price = $8.10
avg variable cost = $8.00
avg total cost = $8.25
Mrs.Smith should continue to operate the business in the short run but shut down in the long run.
Answer:
Efficiency of the system = Actual output/ Effective capacity*100
Efficiency of the system = 850/950*100
Efficiency of the system = 0.894737*100
Efficiency of the system = 89.47%
Utilization of the system = Actual output/Design capacity*100
Utilization of the system = 850/1200*100
Utilization of the system = 0.708333*100
Utilization of the system = 70.83%
