3 0

<span>Entrepreneurs are considered to be both spark plugs and catalysts of the free enterprise economy because of a number of reasons. Everybody benefits and profits when an entrepreneur becomes successful. When an entrepreneur opens his or her search for profits, the effects would be a chain of events where new products, greater competition, more production, higher quality, and lower prices for consumers can be observed. An entrepreneur is said to be a spark plug in the free-market for there is that vision of providing a product or a service that people are willing to pay for, combined with the ability to produce that product or service at a cost below the market sales price which propels him/her to take action. Capitalism will not work if it were not for the entrepreneurs who take the risks and start the businesses that produce the goods and services we all enjoy.</span>

Since there is not enough space here, I prepared an excel spreadsheet with the T-accounts.

In order to prepare a trial balance sheet, I must first prepare an Income Statement:

Service revenue $6,680

Wages expense ($2,940)

Rent expense ($650)

<u>Utilities expense ($650)</u>

Net income: $2,440

Retained earnings = $2,440 (net income) - $2,800 (dividends) = ($360)

The Jackson-Timberlake Wardrobe Co. just paid a dividend of $2.15 per share on its stock. The dividends are expected to grow at

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

$34.4

$37.20

c) $59.57

Explanation:

Given:

Dividend paid = $2.15

Growth rate = 4% = 0.04

Required return = 10.5% = 0.105

Now,

a) Present value = $\frac{\textup{Dividend paid}\times\textup{(1 +growth rate)}^n}{\textup{(Required return-Growth rate)}}$

for the current price n = 1

thus,

Current price = $\frac{\textup{Dividend paid}\times\textup{(1+growth rate)}^n}{\textup{(Required return-Growth rate)}}$

= $\frac{\textup{2.15}\times\textup{(1 +0.04)}^1}{\textup{(0.105-0.04)}}$

= $34.4

b) Price in 3 years

i.e n = 3

= $\frac{\textup{Dividend paid}\times\textup{(1 +growth rate)}^n}{\textup{(Required return-Growth rate)}}$

= $\frac{\textup{2.15}\times\textup{(1 +0.04)}^3}{\textup{(0.105-0.04)}}$

$37.20

c) Price in 15 years

i.e n = 15

= $\frac{\textup{Dividend paid}\times\textup{(1 +growth rate)}^n}{\textup{(Required return-Growth rate)}}$

= $\frac{\textup{2.15}\times\textup{(1 +0.04)}^{15}}{\textup{(0.105-0.04)}}$

= $59.57

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

hello your question has a missing journal entry table attached below is the entry journal table completely filled

Explanation:

Amount of bonds acquired = 40% of original bond

i) Bonds payable = 40% * 1,300,000

= $520000

purchase price of bonds = $520000 * 96% ( FACE VALUE )

= $499200

hence the annual amortization

(bonds payable - purchase price of bonds ) / 10 years - 2 years

(520000 - 499200 ) / 8 = $20800/8 = $2600

ii) premium on bonds payable

$20800 - $2600 = $18200

cash amount = $520000 * 8% = $41600

intra entity expense and income table is attached below

from the table

iii) intra-entity interest expense = $39000 and the

iv) intra-entity interest income = $44200

v) investment in bonds

purchase price of bonds + annual amortization

= $499200 + $2600 = $501800

the book value on bonds as at 1st January 2011

=$1300000 * 105% = $1365000

Premium on bonds as at January 1st 2011

= $1365000 - $1300000 = $65000

amortization of premium as at January 1st 2011

=( ($65000) / 10 years ) * 2 years

= $13000

hence the controlling interest in bonds payable = $540800

vi) gains on retirement bonds

= $540800 - $499200 = $41600

attached below is the journal entry on 31st December 2013

Explanation:

In the present year, Shally will not having any amount of bad debt deduction because she has a gain or income of $5,000. As, last year she has account receivable of $60,000 but this year she settled the account by receiving the $65,000 amount. So, she has received more amount than the basis in the receivable. Therefore, she will not have any bad debt deduction this year.
