Answer:

A

Explanation:

The investment A was more risky, but in general they were both pretty much a risk.

With both having a produced annual rates of return in under 10%

Reason for A being the riskier is that his annual rate of return in average was 8%, while B's annual rate was 9%

Difference may seem small, but for bigger investments 1% can be a deal breaker.

Answer:

As a disclosure only. No liability is reported

Explanation:

According to the International Accounting Standard IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, contingent liability can only be recorded if the likelihood of recording of the loss is reasonably probable and in this case the chances of occurence of the liability is reasonably possible which must not be recorded. The only effect would be disclosing the litigation matter and not including the liability amount that will arise if it goes wrong.

Tuscany Company estimated the following costs at the beginning of a particular year: Overhead $5,340,000 Direct labor cost $890,
solmaris [256]

Answer: $300,000

Explanation:

As overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor cost, the overhead rate for the period is:

= Overhead / Direct labor cost * 100%

= 5,340,000 / 890,000 * 100%

= 600%

If direct labor cost is $50,000 then overhead applied will be:

= Direct labor cost * Overhead rate

= 50,000 * 600%

= $300,000

Crystal Lodging recorded $330,000 in revenues, $247,500 in expenses, and $45,000 of dividends for the year. The company began th
Luda [366]

Answer:

Change in Assets is $127,500

Explanation:

The accounting equation for a corporation is:

Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity

⇒ Liabilities = Assets - Stockholders' Equity

= $285,000 - $130,500

= $154,500

At the end of years,

  • Liabilities amount = Liabilities in the beginning + Change in liabilities = $154,500+ $90,000 = $244,500
  • Stockholder's equity amount = Stockholder's equity + Change in stockholder's equity = $130,500 + $37,500 = $168,000

The assets at the end of year = $168,000 + $244,500 = $412,500

Change in Assets = $412,500 - $285,000 = $127,500

Shorter answer:

Change in Assets = Change in Liabilities + Change in Stockholders' Equity

= $90,000 + $37,500 = $127,500

Is the cost of equity calculated from the CAPM model, pre -tax or post-tax?
Natasha_Volkova [10]
The existence of pre-tax cost of debt and post-tax cost of debt is due to the acknoledgement of the tax benefit from issuing debt.There is no tax benefit from paying divdends,so it makes no sense talking about pre-tax,post-tax cost of equity for a firm.When you think about cash flow to equity you can only assume that the taxes owed by the company have already been paid.Now, the taxation over the income of the shareholder is a whole different issue that does not take place in this discussion,since it is not taken in consideration either in cost of equity or cost of debt.

X-treme Vitamin Company is considering two investments, both of which cost $10,000. The cash flows are as follows:Year Project A
liq [111]

Answer:

A) Project A = 0.83 year

B) NPV of Project B = $14,609.66

C) Answer B

Explanation:

Requirement A

We know,

Payback period = Last year with negative cumulative cash flows + (Absolute value of last year's cumulative cash flow ÷ Cash flow of the following year's negative cumulative cash flow)

Or, Payback period = A + ( B ÷ C)

                             Project A                                       Project B

Year   Cash Flow   Cumulative Cash Flow    Cash Flow  Cumulative Cash Flow

0 (A)   -$10,000      -$10,000 (B)                     -$10,000        -$10,000 (B)

1           $12,000 (C)      2,000                           $10,000(C)                 0

2              8,000         10,000                               6,000             6,000

3              6,000         16,000                              16,000           22,000

Payback period for project A = 0 + ($10,000 ÷ 12,000) = 0 + 0.833 = 0.83 year

Payback period for project B = 0 + ($10,000 ÷ 10,000) = 0 + 1 = 1 year

X-treme Vitamin Company should choose project A because it can return the investment earlier than project B.

Requirement B

We can use excel to find the Net Present Value for both the projects with a cost of capital of 10%.

The following image shows the NPV for project A and B.

From the calculation of NPV, X-treme Vitamin Company should choose project B as that project yields more present cash flows.

Requirement C

A firm should generally have more confidence in answer b because money can produce more logical sense than a year. Yes, it is easy to understand how many years a company will need to get back its cash flow. Still, the present value of cash flows provides a more specific evaluation of how to utilize the initial investment.
