Answer: Option (b) is correct.
Explanation:
Economics:
Probability of placing it with a major publisher(pm) = 0.5 for selling(sm) = 40,000 copies
Probability of placing it with a smaller publisher(ps) = 0.8 for selling(ss) = 30,000 copies
Therefore,
Expected value (Economics) = pm × sm + pm(ps × ss)
= 0.5 × 40,000 + 0.5(0.8 × 30,000)
= 32,000 copies
Answer:
a. Groupo sells goods to MTN for $1,000,000, payment due at delivery.
- transaction price = $1,000,000
- revenue recognized once the goods are delivered
No journal entry is required until goods are delivered and accepted.
b. Groupo sells goods on account to Grifols for $800,000, payment due in 30 days.
- transaction price = $800,000
- revenue recognized immediately since goods were already delivered
The journal entry:
Dr Accounts receivable 800,000
Cr Sales revenue 800,000
c. Groupo sells goods to Magnus for $500,000, payment due in two installments, the first installment payable in 18 months and the second payment due 6 months later. The present value of the future payments is $464,000.
- transaction price = $480,000
- revenue recognized immediately since goods were already delivered
The journal entry:
Dr Notes receivable 500,000
Cr Sales revenue 480,000
Cr Discount on notes receivable 20,000
Answer:
The best estimate of the company’s cost of equity is 12%
Explanation:
Estimate of the company’s cost of equity = (Required Return as per Capital Asset Pricing Model + Cost of Equity) / 2
Required Return as per Capital Asset Pricing Model = Risk Free rate + Market Risk Premium * Beta
= 4.9 % + ( 6% * 1.2)
= 0.049 + 0.06 * 1.2
= 0.049 + 0.072
= 0.1210
= 12.10%
Cost of Equity = (Expected Dividend/Price) + Growth Rate
= [( $ 1.30 * 1.08) / $ 36] + 8%
= 0.039 + 0.08
= 0.1190
= 11.90%
The best estimate of the company’s cost of equity = (12.10 % + 11.90 % )/ 2
= 24% / 2
= 12%
Hence, the best estimate of the company’s cost of equity is 12%
