Finger [1]

Answer:

Debt

Taylor Entertainment Center has 5 TVs on hand at the balance sheet date that cost $400 each. The net realiz- able value is $350
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Under the lower-of-cost-or- net realizable value basis of accounting for inventories, the value that Taylor should report for the TVs on the balance sheet is $350 × 5 = $1,750

Explanation:

The lower-of-cost-or- net realizable value basis of accounting for inventories values inventory at the lower of its cost or net realizable value. This basis of accounting gives a <em>faithful representation</em> to the users of the value of assets in inventory that firm holds. This is  also <em>prudent</em> in that profits are not overstated in the Income statement.

EastWind [94]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let's first determine the free cash flow of the firm

Particulars                            Years

                          1                         2                   3

EBIT                  540                   680                750

<u>Tax at 36%    (0.36*540)       (0.36*680)        (0.36*750)    </u>

Less:               345.6                  435.2            480

Net Capital -

Spending            150                   170                 190

<u>Change in NWC    70                    75                  80      </u>

Less:                    125.6              190.2                210

The terminal value at the end of T =(3  years) is:

= \dfrac{Free \ cash \ flow}{unlevered \ cost - expected \ growth  \ rate}

= \dfrac{250}{0.1643-0.04}

= \dfrac{250}{0.1243}

= 2011.26

Finally, the value of the firm can be computed as follows:

Years                  Free Cash Flow        PVIF           PV

1                          125.6                        0.6589        107.88

2                         190.2                        0.7377         140.31

3                          210                           0.6336       133.06

<u>Terminal Value  2011.26                    0.6336        1294.33     </u>

<u>Value of the firm   ⇒                                               $1655.58</u>

eastern hotel corp. pays a constant $7.80 dividend on its stock. the company will maintain this dividend for the next 13 years a
Lesechka [4]

The stock is now trading at $52.16 per share.

The current value of an annuity of n regular payments of P at r% with yearly payments is provided by:

PV = P × (1 -((1 + r) ^{-n}÷r))

Estes Park Corp. distributes a fixed rate of a dividend of P = $7.80 per share on its shares. The corporation will retain this dividend for the following n = 13 years before ceasing dividend payments permanently. If the necessary returns on this stock are not metis r = 11.2% = 0.112.

The actual share price is calculated as follows:

Current share price = $7.80 × (1 -((1 + 0.112) ^{-13}÷0.112))

$7.80 × ((1 - 0.251) ÷ 0.112)

$52.16

Therefore, the current share price is $52.16

Which of the following statements are true? Check all that apply. In this labor market, a minimum wage of $9.00 is binding. In t
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

<em>1.  In this labor market, a minimum wage of $9.00 is binding : </em><em>FALSE</em>

<em>2. In the absence of price controls, a shortage puts upward pressure on wages until they rise to the equilibrium : </em><em>TRUE</em>

<em>3. If the minimum wage is set at $12.50, the market will not reach equilibrium : </em><em>TRUE</em>

<em>4. Binding minimum wages cause frictional unemployment : </em><em>FALSE</em>

Explanation:

<em><u>Question has been attached here</u></em>

Unemployment is the term used to define those who are willing and are actively seeking work but cannot find any. A minimum wage is a price control, in the form of a price floor imposed by government legislation in order to protect laborers from low wages. Paying anything below the minimum wage is against the law.

<em>1. In this labor market, a minimum wage of $9.00 is binding : </em><em>FALSE</em>

A minimum wage is binding only if it is set above the equilibrium price. In this scenario, the equilibrium price is at $12. Hence, $9 is not binding since a shortage of labor would gradually raise the price to the equilibrium.

<em>2. In the absence of price controls, a shortage puts upward pressure on wages until they rise to the equilibrium : </em><em>TRUE</em>

When there is a shortage in the market, it means that the quantity supplied is higher than the quantity demanded. With any particular commodity such as bread or rice, a shortage creates a rise in price. Just as that, a shortage of workers creates an upward pressure on the price (wage). Since there are no price ceilings, market will reach equilibrium.

<em>3. If the minimum wage is set at $12.50, the market will not reach equilibrium : </em><em>TRUE</em>

As shown in the diagram, the market equilibrium is $12. If the minimum wage was $12.50, there would be a surplus of labor (quantity supplied is higher than quantity demanded). Naturally, this may cause a downward pressure on wages until it reaches $12. However, when a minimum wage is imposed at $12.50, it cannot fall below that level. Thus, the market will not reach the equilibrium.

<em>4. Binding minimum wages cause frictional unemployment : </em><em>FALSE</em>

Frictional unemployment is a type of unemployment that occurs when workers are temporarily unemployed while switching between jobs. It is normal and occurs even in the healthiest of economies. A binding minimum wage is more likely to cause structural unemployment. This occurs when there is a mismatch between the skills of the labor force and the skills expected to be possessed by employers to do a particular job. Hence, even if jobs are available, the laborers are not suited to do them and thus are unemployed.
