The financial reporting carrying amount of Johns-Hopper Company's only depreciable asset exceeded its tax basis by $750,000 at D
Sati [7]

Answer: Liability of $300,000

Explanation:

In the question above, what we have is a deferred tax liability, which could be explained as the amount accrued in taxes at a present time but payable in the future. The tax rate will not be based in the present tax rate. Thus is why we will not be using the 30% tax tate of 2018 in calculating the tax amount.

Tax rate = 40%

Exceeded tax basis = $750,000

0.4 × 750,000 = $300,000

Therefore, Johns-Hopper should report the deferred tax effect of this difference in its December 31, 2018, balance sheet as Liability of $300,000

slava [35]

Answer:

Losses for the producers of Waterworld, if they finished the movie would be <u>$50 million</u>. If they did not finish the movie, losses would be <u>$130 million.</u>

This is because, the difference between all their expenses in making the movie and the revenue generated is actually <em>$50 million</em>. This happens to be their losses while on the other-hand, if they didn't finish making the movie, it would be <em>$130 million </em>(aside the cost spent in finishing the movie after rebuilding the set)

City Foods, is a firm that is experiencing rapid growth. The firm just paid a dividend of $2.00 yesterday. They expect to see th
slega [8]

Answer:

The maximum that should be paid for the stock today is $45 per share.

Explanation:

To calculate the current share price or the maximum that should be paid for the stock today, we will use the dividend discount model approach.

The dividend discount model (DDM) estimates the value of a share/stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. We will use the two stage growth model of DDM here as the growth in dividends of the stock is divided into two stages.

The formula for current price under two stage growth model is,

P0 = D0 * (1+g1) / (1+r)  +  D0 * (1+g1)^2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + D0 * (1+g1)^n / (1+r)^n  +

[( D0 * (1+g1)^n * (1+g2)) / (r - g2)] / (1+r)^n

Where,

g1 is initial growth rate

g2 is the constant growth rate

r is the required rate of return

So, the price of the stock today will be,

P0 = 2 * (1+0.20) / (1+0.12)  +  2 * (1+0.20)^2 / (1+0.12)^2  +    

[( 2 * (1+0.20)^2 * (1+0.06)) / (0.12 - 0.06)] / (1+0.12)^2

P0 = $45
