Zolol [24]

Answer:

$152.4 million

Explanation:

The computation of the projected net income is shown below:

As we know that

Net income = (EBIT - interest) × (1 - tax rate)

where,

EBIT = Sales - operating cost

= $700 × 120% - ($700 × 120% × 65%)

= $840 - ($840 × 65%)

= $840 - $546

= $294

The interest expense and tax rate is $40 and 40%

So, the projected net income is

= ($294 - $40) × (1 - 40%)

= $152.4 million

We simply applied the above formula so that the projected net income could be come

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

$1,800,000

Explanation:

Given short term notes payable = $3,000,000

Total amount used to liquidate short term notes = $2,200,000

Balance = $3,000,000 - $2,200,000 = $800,000

The additional $1,200,000 which is borrowed from Country Bank will not increase the short term notes payable because it's a long term credit

The additional $1,000,000 cash used will now be added to the balance amount

Amount to be reported as current liabilities = $1,000,000 + $800,000

= $1,800,000

Therefore the amount of the short-term notes payable that should be reported as current liabilities on the December 31, 2019 balance sheet which is issued on March 5, 2020 is $1,800,000
