Answer:

2021

Dr Research and development expense $3,600,000

Cr Cash $3,600,000

2022

Dr Research and development expense 1,500,000

Dr Software and development costs 594, 000

Cr Cash 2,094,000

B. $148,500

Explanation:

1. Preparation of the journals entry

2021

Dr Research and development expense $3,600,000

Cr Cash $3,600,000

(To record the expenses incurred on research and development)

2022

Dr Research and development expense 1,500,000

Dr Software and development costs 594, 000

Cr Cash 2,094,000

(1,500,000+594,000)

(To record the software development costs incurred)

2.Calculatation for the amortization for 2022

Using percentage of revenues method

Amortization= Current revenue/Total revenue* Software development costs

Amortization=$1,560,000/$7, 800,000*$594,000

Amortization=0.2*$594,000

Amortization=$118,800

Using straight line method

Amortization =1/Useful life* Software devel opment costs

Amortization=1/4*$594,000

Amortization=$148,500

Based on the above calculation Tmte expense amounts under straight-line method is higher . Which means that , the amortization is $148,500.

A firm has a profit margin of 5.1 percent, a total asset turnover of 1.84, and a return on equity of 16.2 percent. What is the d
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

Debt / Equity = 0.72649 : 1 or 72.649%

Explanation:

The ROE or return on equity can be calculated using the Du Pont equation. It breaks the ROE into three components. The formula for ROE under Du Pont is,

ROE = Net Income / Sales * Sales / Total Assets * Total Assets / Shareholder's equity

or

ROE = Net Income / Total equity

Assuming that sales is $100.

Net Income = 100 * 0.051 = 5.1

Total Assets = 100 / 1.84

Total Assets = 54.35

0.162 = 5.1 / Total equity

Total Equity = 5.1 / 0.162

Total Equity = 31.48

We know that Assets = Debt + Equity

So,

54.35 = Debt + 31.48

Debt = 54.35 - 31.48

Debt = 22.87

Debt / Equity = 22.87 / 31.48

Debt / Equity = 0.72649 : 1 or 72.649%

Cross Country Movers has just gone public. Under a firm commitment agreement, the firm received $19.84 for each of the 2.12 mill
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

= $11,670,200/ $41,329,800 x 100 = 28.24%

Explanation:

The question is to compute the flotation cost of the funds raised by Cross Country Movers after going public. Furthermore, it should be presented as a percentage.

The formula therefore, is = Total Direct Costs / Net Amount raised x 100

Step 1: Total Direct Costs

= Direct Costs (legal and others) + Indirect costs + (Initial Offering Price - the amount received for each share x total shares sold) + (Price rise in stock per share - the initial offering price per share x total shares sold)

= $626,000 + $105,000 + 9,667,200‬+ 1,272,000‬ = $11,670,200

Step 2: Net Amount Raised

= Amount recieved per share x total shares - Direct and indirect costs

= $19.84 x 2,120,000 shares - $626,000 + $105,000

= 42,060,800‬- 731,000‬ = $41,329,800

Step 3: Floatation Cost in Percentage

= $11,670,200/ $41,329,800 x 100 = 28.24%
