Answer:

The correct answer is 0.0556 or 5.56%.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Current price = $75

Growth rate = 5%

Dividend paid = $0.40

Expected rate of return = 12%

So, we can calculate the cost of equity by using following method:

Cost of equity = [ Dividend (1+ growth rate ) ÷ current price] + growth rate

= [ 0.40 (1+ 0.05 ) ÷ 75] + 0.05

= [0 .42 ÷ 75 ] + .05

=  0.0556 or 5.56%

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

d.total factory overhead cost variance.

Explanation:

In manufacturing accounting, at the beginning of the period, manufacturing overheads (i.e. costs other than Direct Material and Direct Labor) has been applied to Work-in-process using a predetermined overhead rate. At the end of the period, if the manufacturing overhead account shows a debit balance, that signifies that overhead has been under-applied (i.e. the manufacturing overhead cost applied to work in process is <u>less </u>than the actual manufacturing overhead cost for the period), and contrariwise if the manufacturing overhead account shows a credit balance, it means the overhead is over-applied (i.e. the manufacturing overhead cost applied to work in process is <u>more </u>than the actual manufacturing overhead cost for the period). In any case this balance warrants an adjustment to close out the books, by transferring it to the cost of goods sold account.

Time interest earned 2016 2015

EBIT $7,600 $19,600

Midyear on July 31st, the Digby Corporation's balance sheet reported: Total Assets of $205.498 million Total Common Stock of $6.
sergey [27]

Answer:

The value of total liabilities is $155.031 million and option c is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The basic accounting equation states that the total value of assets is always equal to the sum of the total value of liabilities and the total value of equity.

Thus, we can say that,

Total Assets = Total Liabilities + Total Equity

The equity part can contain various components. In the given question it has two components namely Common Stock and retained earnings.

205.498 = Total Liabilities + (6.350 + 44.117)

205.498 = Total Liabilities + 50.467

205.498 -  50.467 = Total Liabilities

Total Liabilities = $155.031

Let’s say you are a defense attorney and are defending a client on a murder charge. The victim was found in a dark alley. A witn
Klio2033 [76]

As mentioned the alley was dark. So it is possible that there was someone else at the crime scene and the witness is mistaken to be that man. It is quite possible to see someone in the dark and mistaken them for someone else. As the alley was dark, eye witness testimony is not reliable.

The eyewitness doesn’t have any evidence whereas my client has an alibi and he was not present at the crime scene. Even if my client was standing near the boy it doesn’t prove that he killed someone.
