Answer:

Convertible bonds

Explanation:

Solution :

Expected sales = current sales x (1 + projected sale next year increase)

                         = 5,700 x (1 + 15%)

                         = $ 6555

Expected cost = current cost x (1 + projected sale next year increase)

                       = 4200 x (1 + 15%)

                       = $ 4830

Taxable income = 1500 x ( 1 + 15%)

                           = $ 1725

Taxes (34%)  = 510 x (1+15%)

                     = $ 586.5

Net income = sales - cost - taxes

                   = 6555 - 4830 - 586.5

                   = $ 1138.5

Calculation of total asset :

Current asset = 3,900 x 1.15

                      = $ 4485

Fixed asset   = 8100 x 1.15

                      = $ 9315

Total asset = 4485 + 9315

                  = $ 13800

Calculation of total liabilities

Current liabilities = 2200 x 1.15

                            = $ 2530

Long term debt = $ 3,750

Equity = $ 6050 + (1138.5 x 0.50 )

          = $ 7189

Total liabilities  = $ 2530 + $ 3,750 + $ 7189

                          = $ 13, 469

Therefore the external financial needed is = $ 13800 - $ 13, 469

                                                                       = $ 331

Readme [11.4K]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

But before that the depreciation expense per year is

Depreciation per year = (Cost - Residual value) ÷ Useful life

= ($38,080 - $2,800) ÷ 6 years

= $5,880

1.Net book value as on disposal date is

= $38,080 - ($5,880  × 3)

= $20,440

2.

We know that

Gain on sales = (Sales - Book value)

Gain = $(20,400 - 20,400) = 0

a. Loss = $13,000 - $20,440 = -$7,440

b. Loss = $10,000 - $20,440 = -$10,440

To solve: take the total costs of $1.2 million and divide it by the number of bikes sold, $1,200
Average total cost = 1,200,000/1,200
Average total cost = $1,000

3. Balancing utility and price Suppose Tim has to choose between purchasing high-definition televisions and juice. Which of the
Rom4ik [11]

Answer: Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

The following rule should be use to choose the optimal quantities of two goods:

\frac{MU\ of\ Juice}{Price\ of\ Juice} =\frac{MU\ of\ HDTVs}{Price\ of\ HDTVs}

Marginal utility refers to the utility that a consumer can get from the additional unit of a commodity.

\frac{MU\ of\ Juice}{MU\ of\ HDTVs} =\frac{Price\ of\ Juice}{Price\ of\ HDTVs}

From the above equation, we can predict that marginal utility from the last TV is greater than the marginal utility obtained from the last gallon of juice. We know that Juice is less expensive as compared to the price of TV.
