Quick ratio = 1.30 (Option C)
<u>Explanation:</u>
Quick ratio or acid test ratio is calculated as follows:
(Cash plus marketable securities plus accounts receivable ) divide by total current liabilities
In our question, we have been given with the data:
Cash = 45 million
Marketable securities = 33 million, accounts receivable = 66 million, total current laibailities = 111 million
So, let us now put the given values in the above stated formula:
Quick ratio = ( 45 plus 33 plus 66) divide by 111
After calculating we get, 1.30
Therefore, the quick ratio is 1.30
Answer:
14.27%
Explanation:
Unlevered value = [Expected earnings before interest and taxes × (1- tax rate)]/Unlevered cost of capital
Unlevered value = [$87,200 x (1- 0.35)]/0.12 = $472,333.33
Levered value = Unlevered value + (Tax rate × Debt market value)
Levered value = $472,333.33 + (0.35 x $227,000) = $551,783.33
Value of equity = Levered value - Debt market value
Value of equity = $551,783.33 - $227,000 = $324,783.33
Cost of equity = Unlevered cost of capital + [(unlevered cost of capital - coupon rate) × (Debt market value/Value of equity) × (1 - Tax rate)]
Cost of equity = 0.12 + [(0.12 - 0.07) × ($227,000/$324,783.33) × (1 - 0.35)] = 0.1427, or 14.27%
Therefore, the firm's cost of equity is 14.27%
Answer:
C) increases first at an increasing rate, then at a decreasing rate.
Explanation:
When marketing expenditure is increased, this will lead naturally to an increase in market demand. This increase in market demand is an increasing one. For example successive increase in demand can be 2, 4, 8, 15.
At a point when diminishing utility sets in the customers are maximising utility and need less of the product. Demand will increase at a decreasing rate. For example 30, 40, 46, 50, 52.
Answer and Explanation:
The Journal entries are shown below:-
Interest expense Dr, $316,800
Premium on bonds payable Dr, $19,200 ($96,000 ÷ 5)
To Interest payable $336,000 ($4,800,000 × 7%)
(Being interest expense and bond premium amortization is recorded)
Here we debited the interest expenses and premium on bonds as it increased the expenses and we credited the interest payable as it also increased the liabilities
