A company has annual sales of $160 million, a net profit margin of 4%, and total assets of $90 million. It carries $10 million i
sasho [114]

Answer:

18.29%

Explanation:

Return on Equity is the net profit available for equity/ Total equity value.

Total equity = Total assets - Total debt

= $90 million - $55 million = $35 million

Earnings for equity = Annual sales \times net profit margin 4%

= $160 million \times 4% = 6.4 million

Therefore, return on equity = \frac{Net\ profit\ for\ equity}{Total\ value\ of\ equity}

= \frac{6.4\ million}{35\ million} \times 100 = 18.2857

Therefore, ROE = 18.29%

Managers should act in shareholders' interests because shareholders have ___________ priority in receiving their claims.A. TopB.
Cloud [144]

Answer:

Regarding to Claim to income, the correct answer would be C-Bottom

Explanation:

Shareholders can be preferred or common and they have differents claims to income.  Generally, preferred stock will be given preference in assets to common assets in case of company liquidation, nonetheless both will fall behind bondholders if asset distribution happen. If bankruptcy happen, common stock investors will receive any remaining funds after bondholders,  then creditors and preferred stockholders are paid. That's why these investors often receive nothing after a bankruptcy. Preferred stock also has the first right to receive dividends. In general, common stock shareholders will not receive dividends until it is paid out to preferred shareholders, and that happen because they are at the bottom of the pyramid.

Tasya [4]

Answer:

1) If bonds are issued as 100 entry will be

                                   Debit                                         Credit

Cash                            600,000

Bonds payable                                                              600,000

2) If bonds are issued at 95

                                     Debit                                        Credit

Cash                              570,000

Discount                          30,000

Bonds payable                                                               600,000

3) If bonds are issued at 105

Cash                               630,000

Bonds payable                                                                 600,000

Premium                                                                             30,000

4)

                                        Debit                                           Credit

Interest payable                42,000

Cash                                                                                    42,000

Explanation:

1) If the bonds are issued at 100 then the company will receive the same amount of cash as the face value so they will receive 600,000 cash and will owe the bond buyers 600,000 so they will debit 600,000 cash and credit 600,000 bonds payable.

2) If bonds are issued at 95 then the company will receive cash 95% of 600,000 which is 570,000 so they will debit 570,000 cash, 30,000 will debited as discount and 600,000 bonds payable.

3) If bonds are issued at 105 then the company will receive cash 105% of 600,000 which is 630,000 so they will debit 630,000 cash and will credit 600,000 bonds payable and 30,000 as premium.

4) The bonds are issued on January 1 and there is a journal entry of interest payment at July 1 so we assume that the bond has semi annual payments.

14% of 600,000 is 84,000 and we will divide it by 2 to find the semi annual payment which will be 42,000, so we will debit interest payable by 42,000 and credit cash by 42,000.
