Answer:

a. For 2010 =$325  For 2011 = $445

b. 136.92%

c.  38.89%

Explanation:

a. The computation of the price of each vegetable is shown below:

For year 2010:

= Cauliflower price + broccoli price + carrots price

= $200 + $75 + $50

= $325

For year 2011:

= Cauliflower price + broccoli price + carrots price

= $225 + $120 + $100

= $445

b. The computation of CPI is shown below:

= (2011 Price ÷ 2010 Price) × 100

= ($445 ÷ $325) × 100

= 136.92%

c. The inflation rate is shown below:

= (2011 per total vegetables price - 2010  per total vegetables price) ÷  2010  per total vegetables price

= ($5.00 - $3.60) ÷ $3.60

= 38.89%

Per vegetable price = (Price of each vegetable ÷ number of each vegetable)

For 2010:

Cauliflower = ($200 ÷ 100) = $2

Broccoli = ($75 ÷ 50) = $1.5

Carrots = ($50 ÷ 500) = $0.10

The total would be $3.60

For 2011:

Cauliflower = ($225 ÷ 75) = $3

Broccoli = ($120 ÷ 80) = $1.5

Carrots = ($100 ÷ 500) = $0.50

The total would be $5.00

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

B. The demand is more elastic than supply .

Explanation:

Demand & supply are buyers & sellers ability , willingness to buy & sell respectively .

Elasticity means responsiveness of demand & supply to prices.

'Tax burden' can be forwarded / shared only in case of Indirect taxes , whose burden & incidence lie on different people.

The burden falls on the party (consumers / suppliers) whose market element (demand / supply) is inelastic i.e less responsive to prices.

So , if sellers are bearing larger burden : It means demand is relatively elastic & supply is relatively inelastic.

  •     Cr Law suit liability 1,140,000

2. The likelihood of a payment occurring is probable, and the amount is estimated to be in the range of $0.94 to $1.14 million.

  • Dr Law suit loss 940,000
  •     Cr Law suit liability 940,000

3. The likelihood of a payment occurring is reasonably possible, and the estimated amount is $1.14 million.

  • no journal entry is required, only a disclosure in the footnotes of the financial statements.

A contingent liability (or loss) that is only possible, but not probable, does not need to be journalized and recorded. It only needs to be disclosed in the footnotes of the financial statements.

4. The likelihood of a payment occurring is remote, while the estimated potential amount is $1.14 million.

  • no journal entry is required

A contingent liability (or loss) that is remote, does not need to be journalized or recorded, nor included in the footnotes of the financial statements.

MV Corporation has debt with market value of $ 101 ​million, common equity with a book value of $ 100 ​million, and preferred st
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

Weight of debt = 0.2453 or 24.53%

Weight of preferred stock = 0.0486 or 4.86%

Weight of common equity = 0.7061 or 70.61%

Explanation:

The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure. The capital structure of a company can consist of one or more of the following components namely debt, preferred stock and common stock.

To calculate the WACC, we use the market value of each component.

  • The market value of debt is$101 million.
  • The market value of common equity is 290.7 million
  • The value of preferred stock is $20 million

Market value of common equity = 51 * 5.7 = 290.7 million

The weights to assigned to each components are,

Total weight of all components = 101 + 20 + 290.7 = 411.7 million

Weight of debt = 101 / 411.7  => 0.2453 or 24.53%

Weight of preferred stock = 20 / 411.7  => 0.0486 or 4.86%

Weight of common equity = 290.7 / 411.7  => 0.7061 or 70.61%
