Answer:

a. $12.08 per share

Explanation:

For computing the next year stock we have to do the following calculations  

Current Earning per share  = Net Income ÷ Number of Common Shares Outstanding

= $9,750,000 ÷ 5,500,000 shares  

= $1.77

Current Price Earning ratio = Current stock price ÷  Current EPS

= $14.74 ÷ $1.77

= 8.33

Now Next year earning per share = $9,750,000 ×  1.25 ÷ 8,400,000 shares = $1.45

So, the next year stock price = $1.45 x 8.33

= $12.08 per share

Suppose Raphael and Susan are playing a game in which both must simultaneously choose the action Left or Right. The payoff matri
erica [24]

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

The Dominant Strategy in a game is the strategy that a player will choose that will provide them with the highest payoff regardless of what the other player does.

In the above, the dominant strategy will be for RAPHAEL to choose LEFT.

By choosing left Raphael makes a payoff of 4 if Susan picks Left as well and a Payoff of 6 if Sudan picks Right. This is better than him picking Right and he will get a Payoff of 3 if Susan chooses Right as well.

The Nash Equilibrium is the strategy where both are making the best that they can given the strategy of the other player and deviating from it will give them less pay out.

The dominant strategy therefore is for RAPHAEL to choose LEFT and for SUSAN to choose RIGHT.

This is because Raphael will pick Left as it maximises their payoff and Susan will then pick a strategy that gives her the highest payoff based on Raphael's decision which is to go RIGHT.

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Profit is Maximize when MR = MC

since MR=40 - 0.5Q

and  MC= 4

Therefore:

40-0.5Q = 4

-0.5Q = 4 - 40

-0.5Q= -36

divide through by -0.5

Q = 72

since Q = 72

from Q = 160 - 4p

72 = 160 - 4P

-4p = 72 - 160

-4P = -88

divide through by -4

P = 22

All sales are made on credit. Based on past experience, the company estimates 1% of credit sales to be uncollectible. What adjus
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Debit : Bad Debts account : $2000 (appearing in the income statement)

Credit : Provision for doubtful debts account : $2000 (appearing in the balance sheet)

Explanation:

This is an example of provision for doubtful debts. Provision for doubtful debts is an estimated amount of bad debts from accounts receivables that has been issues but not yet collected. This is done under the accrual accounting concept where an expense is identified as soon as invoices have been issued rather than waiting long periods to find out which invoice is irrecoverable. It is typically an estimate based on past experience.

In this question, the sales value has not been provided, hence an assumption is made:

Sales : $200,000

If provision for doubtful debts is 1% of sales and all sales is on credit, then the provision for doubtful debts amount is = 1% x $200,000 = $2000

Provision for doubtful debts is an accounts receivable contra account and thus has a credit balance and is recorded in the balance sheet, listed directly under accounts receivables.

The entry is recorded as:

Debit : Bad Debts account : $2000 (appearing in the income statement)

Credit : Provision for doubtful debts account : $2000 (appearing in the balance sheet)

Sophie [7]
For both accepting and rejecting, thank the employer for the wonderful opportunity that was given. When accepting state that you are happy with the employment terms, and the salary that was given. When rejecting tell the employer thank you, but simply state how there may have been better opportunities, or how the job was not the right fit for you. Both should be done either by email or phone.
