Answer:

B) 11.82 percent

Explanation:

WACC formula = wE*rE + wD*rd(1-tax)

wE = weight of equity

rE = cost of equity

wD = weight of debt

rd = pretax cost of debt

If D/E = 0.55 / 1 , then  D+E = 0.55 +1 = 1.55

therefore wD = 0.55 / 1.55 = 0.3548 or 35.48%

and wE = 1 / 1.55 = 0.6452 or 64.52%

Next, plug in the numbers to the above WACC formula;

WACC = (0.6452*0.154) + [0.3548* 0.078(1- 0.32) ]

= 0.0994 + 0.0188

= 0.1182 or 11.82%

Therefore, the company's WACC = 11.82%

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

  • The adjustment causes an increase in an asset account and an increase in a revenue account.
  • Accounts receivable is usually increased when accruing revenues.
  • They refer to revenues that are earned in a period, but have not been received and are unrecorded.
  • They refer to earnings which have been earned but not yet billed.

Explanation:

Accrued revenue refers to cash earned for selling a good or delivering a service yet the cash has not been received and the transaction was not recorded in the books as revenue. This means that the cash has been earned but it has not been billed to the customer it was earned from.

When the books are being adjusted for this, the accounts receivable - which is an asset account - will increase to show that cash is owed. Revenue will also increase as this was cash earned from delivering a good or service.

Mama L [17]

Answer: $109,080; $145,920

Explanation:

Based on the information that have been provided in the question, the following can be gotten:

The amount for income tax expenses will be:

= 36% of $303,000

= 36/100 × $303,000

= 0.36 × $303,000

= $109,080

The net income will be:

Reported income = $303,000

Less income tax = $109,080

Less loss on discounted operation = $48,000

Net income = $145,920

Loss on discounted operation:

= $75,000 × (1 - 36%)

= $75,000 × (1 - 0.36)

= $75,000 × 0.64

= $48,000
