dybincka [34]

Answer:

Therefore uncollectibel account expense = 0.22 x 94,000 = $20,680

Explanation:

Uncollectible accounts are determined by the percent-of-sales method to be 22% of credit sales. How much is uncollectible-account expense for 2014?

Uncollectible Accounst will simply be 22% multiplied by the credit sales figure for the year.

Accounts Receivable.....26,000

Allowance for collectible account...1,500

Credit sales for 2014 ...$94,000

Cash Sales for 2014.....28,000

Collection from customers on account...100,000

Therefore uncollectibel account expense = 0.22 x 94,000 = $20,680

"The company will pay a dividend of $15 per share 10 years from today and will increase the dividend by 5 percent per year there

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Current Share price= $114.21

Explanation:

The Dividend Valuation Model is a technique adopted to detremine the value of an asset. According to this model, the value of an asset is the sum of the present values of the future cash flows that would arise from the asset discounted at the required rate of return (discount rate)

The model is premised on the concept of the time value of money. The idea that $1 today is not the same as $1 tomorrow. The $1 of today is worth more than that of tomorrow; because of the opportunity to earn interest. So to determine the worth of a future cash flow, we compute its worth today- its present value.

The Present Value of a future cash flow is the amount that needs to be invested today at a particular rate of return to equal the same cash flow in the future. Present value means the value in year 0 or now

The process of calculating the present value of a future sum is called discounting. So to calculate the current stock price in this question, we shall discount the future dividends using the required rate of return and then add them together.

So if an asset (e.g a stock) promises some cash flows in the future, those cash flows need to be brought to their present values and then be added to arrive at the value of the asset

In this question, the cash flows are the dividends as given and the rate of return (discount rate) is 15%

So we apply this model as follows:

Step 1 : PV of div from year 1 to 10 = 15× ((1-1.15)^(-10))/0.15) = 75.282

Step 2:PV (in year 10)of div from year 11 onward=(15×1.05)/(0.15-0.05)= 157.5

Step 3:PV(in year 0) of div from year 11 onward = 157.5 × (1.15)^ (-10) = 38.93

Current Share price= $75.282 + $38.93 = $114.21

<em>Note:</em><em> step 3 is important because the the cash flows from year 11 onward were discounted to arrive at their values in year 10. Since we are interested in the current price i.e year 0 value, it is important that we re-discount again to bring them to their PV in year 0.</em>

In 5-10 sentences, answer the Question; What is a Market Economy?

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

A market economy is an economic system in which the decisions regarding investment, production and distribution are guided by the price signals created by the forces of supply and demand. The major characteristic of a market economy is the existence of factor markets that play a dominant role in the allocation of capital and the factors of production.Market economies range from minimally regulated free-market and laissez-faire systems where state activity is restricted to providing public goods and services and safeguarding private ownership, to interventionist forms where the government plays an active role in correcting market failures and promoting social welfare. State-directed or dirigist economies are those where the state plays a directive role in guiding the overall development of the market through industrial policies or indicative planning—which guides yet does not substitute the market for economic planning—a form sometimes referred to as a mixed economy.

Copper Corporation owns stock in Bronze Corporation and has net operating income of $900,000 for the year. Bronze Corporation pa

kow [346]

Answer:

C) $120,000

Explanation:

Since Copper corporation owns 65% of Bronze Corporation, its dividends received deduction (DRD) is 80% of the dividends received.

stake at another corporation is less than 20%, DRD = 70%
stake at another corporation is between 20% to 80%, DRD = 80% (Copper's case)
stake at another corporation is higher than 80%, DRD = 100%

Therefore, if Copper received $150,000 in dividends from Bronze, it can deduct 80% of that amount = 80% x $150,000 = $120,000

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Usually, we use the "Income Summary" account to close the Income Statement accounts such as revenues and expenses.

First, close the revenue account by debiting it:

(DR) Service Revenue $450,000

(CR) Income Summary $450,000

Then, close the expenses accounts by crediting them:

(DR) Income Summary $407,000

(CR) Salaries Expense $350,000

(CR) Rent Expense $17,500

(CR) Depreciation Expense $35,000

(CR) Interest Expense $4,500

Finally, close the Income Summary account to Retained Earnings.

The balance of the Income Summary is a credit balance of $43,000

(credit of $450,000 less debit of $407,000)

So, to close the account we have to debit it.

(DR) Income Summary $43,000

(CR) Retained Earnings $43,000
