Answer:

B) channel funds directly from lenders to borrowers.

Explanation:

The complete financial system is a means by which money is transferred from savers to borrowers. The financial system is made up of banks, insurance companies, financial markets,  and other financial institutions that allow the exchange of money.

Financial markets are the only type of institution that allows the exchange of money from lenders to borrowers without third parties being involved.

R. J. Graziano Wholesale Corp. uses the LIFO method of inventory costing. In the current year, profit at R. J. Graziano is runni
Nata [24]

Answer:

a. What is the effect of this transaction on this year's and next year's income statement and income tax expense? Why?

The inventory account is a permanent asset account in the balance sheet, so it doesn't matter if the company purchases all that it can during the last days of December, it will not affect the income statement, nor their tax liability for the current year. A company only recognizes cost of goods sold when the goods are actually sold, not when they are purchased.

Since the company uses the LIFO (last in, first out) inventory method, all it will do is increase the value of ending inventory which changes into beginning inventory next year. You can reduce next year's income more by purchasing the goods next year.

b. If R. J. Graziano Wholesale had been using the FIFO method of inventory costing, would the president give the same directive?

If the company used the FIFO method, the result will be the same. Inventory is not COGS, whether you use FIFO, LIFO weighted average, specific identification, or any other acronym that you might come up with. At beginning of the year, inventory must be average to determine beginning inventory. it might help to increase COGS a little, therefore, decreasing net income, but the effects shouldn't be significant.

c. Should the plant accountant order the inventory purchase to lower income? What are the ethical implications of this order?

It is useless, and he should know it. The only implication is that this will help him realize his low IQ.

Two online magazine companies reported the following in their financial statements: BetterWorth Outdoor Fun 2018 2017 2018 2017
Rudik [331]

Answer:

BetterWorth and Outdoor Fun ROE and P/E Ratio Analysis:

1-a) Computation of 2018 ROE for each company.

ROE = Return on Equity.  It is a percentage of the net income over equity.  It is best to use the average equity, if given two balance sheets.  See explanation for further clarification.

Average Equity = Two balance sheets' equity divided by 2.

BetterWorth's Average Equity = (597,186 + 522,814) / 2 = 560,000

Outdoor Fun's Average Equity = (457,151 + 477,049) / 2 = 467,100

BetterWorth's 2018 ROE = 111,000 / 560,000 x 100 = 19.82%

Outdoor Fun's 2018 ROE = 92,420 / 467,100 x 100 = 19.79%

1-b) BetterWorth's appears to be generating greater returns on stockholders' equity in 2018.  It generated 19.82% as against Outdoor Fun's 19.79%, especially with the use of average equity.

2-a) Computation of 2018 P/E Ratio for each company:

P/E Ratio = Price/Earnings Ratio.  It is expressed as the market price per share divided by earnings per share.

BetterWorth's 2018 P/E Ratio = 54.90 : 3.4 = 16.15 : 1

Outdoor Fun's 2018 P/E Ratio = 33.05 : 2.30 = 14.37 : 1

2-b) Investors appear to value BetterWorth more than Outdoor Fun.  This is because investors are ready to pay 16.15 times more for each unit of the earnings of BetterWorth.  For Outdoor Fun, investors are only willing to pay 14.37 times more for each unit of its earnings.

Explanation:

A) ROE = Return on Equity.  It is expressed as a percentage of net income over average equity.  In the above calculations, we used the average equity.  The reason is this: average equity smoothens the mismatch between the income statement and the balance sheet.

But, what does ROE measure?  It measures a company's management effectiveness in using assets to make profits for shareholders.

Had we used the 2018 equity, Outdoor Fun would have appeared to have performed relatively better than BetterWorth over ROE.

B) P/E ratio relates a company's share price to its earnings.  The P/E ratio shows that the company's stock is overvalued or undervalued.  It depicts investors' confidence or lack of it in the company's ability to produce more or less earnings.  Without earnings expectation, investors cannot price a company's stock highly.  It is therefore a stock valuation tool widely used by financial analysts and investors.
