The correct statement among the given is 'cost of equity is always equal to or greater than the cost of debt' .

Option-c

<u>Explanation: </u>

Debt on assets which are less likely to lose is secured more uncertainty leads to lower returns, hence lower costs. The risk of loss to equity holders also remains greater and not even assured against any collateral. In comparison to higher risk equity holders foresee higher returns.

This is why debt costs are higher. Such high risk will lead to higher equity costs than debt costs. To investors, equity costs would be returned on equity investment, and debt costs would be made as part of debt investment.

The income statement for Stretch-Tape Corporation reports net sales of $540,000 and net income of $65,700. Average total assets
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

7.3%; 12.17%; 0.6 times; 15.95%

Explanation:

Return on assets:

= Net Income ÷ Average total assets

= ($65,700 ÷ $900,000) × 100

= 7.3%

Profit Margin:

= Net Income ÷ Net Sales

= ($65,700 ÷ $540,000) × 100

= 12.17%

Asset Turnover:

= Net Sales ÷ Average Total Assets

= $540,000 ÷ $900,000

= 0.6 times

Return on Equity:

= Net Income before dividend ÷ Equity

= [($65,700 + $30,000) ÷ $600,000] × 100  

= ($95,700 ÷ $600,000] × 100  

= 15.95%

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

Interest paid in cash in 2018 = $0

Interest recognized on the Income statement = $1,800

Liabilities recognized = $90,000

Amount paid for Principal and interest = $93,600

Interest reported on 2019 Income statement = 1800

Explanation:

Interest paid in cash in 2018 is zero because interest and principal were paid in cash on the maturity date.

Interest recognized in 2018 = 90000*0.08*3/12 = $1800

liabilities are recognized at original amount because the interest is not capitalized and no payment made thus far.

Amount paid on maturity date is 93,600 ( 90000 principal, 3600 interest)

interest reported is for three months jan - march

Primo Industries collected $105,000 from customers in 2019. Of the amount collected, $25,000 was for services performed in 2018.
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

a. $33,000.

b. $36,000.

Explanation:

Net income is calculated as sales minus cost of goods sold, selling, general and administrative expenses, operating expenses, depreciation, interest, taxes, and other expenses. It is also called net earnings.

Now, Cash accounting recognizes revenue and expenses only when money changes hands, but accrual accounting recognizes revenue when it's earned, and expenses when they're billed (but not paid).

a. 2014 Cash-basis net income:

Primo Industries collected $105,000 from customers in 2019

Primo Industries also paid $72,000 for expenses in 2019

=105,000-72,000

=$33,000

b. 2014 accrual-basis net income.

=(105,000-25000+40000)-(72000-30000+42000)

=120000-84000

=$36,000
