Answer:  Trained incapacity

DJFats Company determined that the 2019 ending inventory had been overstated by $11,200 AND that the 2019 beginning inventory wa
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

a. $103,400

Explanation:

As we know that

Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory

And,  

Gross profit = Sales revenue - cost of goods sold

Since in the question it is given that

The ending inventory and beginning inventory had been overstated by $11,200 and $6,600 respectively

Since overstatement in the initial inventory raises the cost of the goods sold and decreases by that amount the gross profit & net income

And, overstatement in ending inventory reduced cost of goods sold and raised gross profit & net income by that amount.

So for overstated ending inventory the amount should be deducted and for overstated beginning inventory the condition would be reverse

So, the correct amount is

= incorrect pretax net income + overstatement in beginning inventory - overstatement in ending inventory

= $108,000 + $6,600 - $11,200

= $103,400

Two incinerators are being considered by a waste management company. Design A has an initial cost of $2,500,000, has annual oper
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

<u>Desing A:   </u>23,024,370‬

<u>Desing B:   </u>22,520,274.6

It should purchase desing B as the capitalized cost is lower.

Explanation:

We consider annuity for the overhauls and then, perpetuity to consider this incinerators will last indefinitely.

maintenance cost: 800,000 / 0.05 = 16,000,000

<u>Overhaul: </u>

The company will need to fund 1,250,000 every 5 years. We need to determinate the annuity to obtain this future value:

FV \div \frac{(1+r)^{time} -1}{rate} = C\\

PV 1,250,000

time 5

rate 0.05

1250000 \div \frac{(1+0.05)^{5} -1}{0.05} = C\\

C  $  $ 226,218.498

<u>Then at perpetuity:</u>

$ 226,218.498  / 0.05 = 4,524,370

<u>Desing A capitalized cost:</u>

2,500,000 + 16,000,000 + 4,524,370 = 23,024,370‬

We do the same for Desing B:

investment: 5,750,000

maintenance: 600,000 / 0.05 = 12,000,000

overhaul:

3000000 \div \frac{1-(1+0.05)^{-10} }{0.05} = C\\

C  $ 238,513.725

238,513.73/0.05 =  4,770,274.6

Capitalized cost: 5,750,000 + 12,000,000 + 4,770,274.6 = 22,520,274.6‬

1. Why do firms choose to make large increases in their dividends or start a stock repurchase program?2. Why do firms choose to
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer with Explanation:

Requirement 1:

The companies whose products are in growth phase or the company is cash cow which has a well diversified products does not have to invest in adding a new product line because their earnings are already stable enough or that they don't have to invest much because sufficient profits are left after extracting for investments. Increase in dividends has two meanings that either the management is confident enough that they think that the company will be able to earn more in the future and they will achieve better position in future which is a good news in the stock exchange and for investors as well and investor invest more in the company's ordinary stock.

Company start Stock repurchase program which is to buyback its previously issued ordinary shares which is because the management thinks that the stock is undervalued and thus they repurchase their ordinary shares so that the stock will go up in near future and this will benefit the company and the existing shareholders as well. This also helps in increasing earnings per share, return on equity, etc because the equity is reduced by share repurchase program.

Stock repurchase program is also run by the organization because they don't find any attractive opportunities. This means that the company does not have any large investment opportunities which means growth in revenue and profit can not be expected in the future years. Thus when the company starts repurchasing of stock the investor starts selling their stocks.

Requirement 2:

If the company thinks that they can increase the worth of shareholders beyond their shareholder's expectation then they don't pay dividend and invest in projects to increase the sales growth, profits and market share significantly in the coming future.

Some long term shareholders think this is a great news whereas short term investors who are looking for dividends will sell the stock which means that the stock value may fall in near future but in long run the company stock value increase when the investment will start showing its results.
