Selected information from Peridot Corporation's accounting records and financial statements for 2021 is as follows ($ in million
guapka [62]

Answer:

$43 million

Explanation:

The cash flow statement categories the company's transactions in a financial period into 3 groups; these are operating, investing and financing.

The net profit/loss, depreciation, changes in current assets (other than cash) and liabilities are considered as operating activities including income taxes.  

The sale of assets, interest received, purchase of investments are examples of investing activities while the issuance of stocks, debt principal deduction (loan settlement), issuance of debt securities etc are examples of financing activities.

An increase in assets other than cash is an outflow while an increase in liabilities is an inflow. Depreciation and other non-cash expenses deducted in the income statements are added back while the non-cash income such gain on asset are deducted from net income.

Peridot's Net cash outflows from investing activities (in millions)

= -$38 + $96 + $71 - $86

= $43

The gain from the disposal of land will be deducted from the net income under the cash flows from operating activities while the requisition of own shares is a financing activity.

Wang Co. manufactures and sells a single product that sells for $640 per unit; variable costs are $352 per unit. Annual fixed co
yarga [219]

Answer:

The correct answer is 45%.

Explanation:

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

Selling price = $640

Variable cost = $352

Annual fixed cost = $985,500

Current sales volume = $4,390,000

So, we can calculate the contribution margin ratio by using following formula:

Contribution margin ratio = (Contribution margin per unit ÷ selling price per unit ) × 100

Where, Contribution Margin = Selling price - Variable cost

= $640 - $352 = $288

So, by putting the value in the formula, we get

Contribution margin ratio = ( $288 ÷ $640 ) × 100

= 0.45 × 100

= 45%

Olin [163]

Answer:

Type A is 7%, type b is 11%

Explanation:

We have these two firm's as type a and type b

For type A

Interest would be = risk Free rate of 2% + risk free rate of 5% = 7%

For type B

= Risk free rate of 5% + risk free rate of 6% = 11%

I would use the average of this two 9% as interest but this is not going to work for type A because this interest rate is too high. People won't want to pay this much.
