Answer: to historical performance or budget
Explanation:
A profit center in a business is a division that is able to make revenues independently and contribute to the revenue of the entire business. In evaluating the performance of a profit center manager, it is best to compare the performance to a budget or their historical performance.
This is because profit centers engage in different businesses and so their revenue making style will be unique. Some profit centers will make more than others because of the goods they produce or the way they produce it. It is therefore best to compare a profit center to an internal measure such as the budget and historical performance.
If the profit center exceeds either of these then they are performing well.
Answer:
Common Stock 5,000
Additional paid-in Common stock 70,000
Preferred Stock 15,000
Additional paid-in Preferred stock 22,500
Explanation:
For the common and preferred stock accounts, we multiply the shares outstanding by the face value.
The additional paid-in will be the difference between the par value and the market price of the share at issuance.
<u>Common stock</u>
5,000 issued shares x $ 1 par value = 5,000
<u>Additional paid-in</u>
15 - 1 = 14 additional paid-in per share
5,000 shares x 14 = 70,000
<u>Preferred stock</u>
1,500 issued shares x $ 10 par value = 15,000
<u>Additional paid-on</u>
25 - 10 = 15 additional per share
1,500 x 15 = 22,500
Answer:
The wholesale cost for the pianos that Darnell pays the manufacturer - explicit cost
The salary Darnell could earn if he worked as an accountant - implicit cost
The wages and utility bills that Darnell pays - explicit cost
The rental income Darnell could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom.-implicit cost
Explanation:
Explicit cost includes the amount expended in running the business.
They include rent , salary and cost of raw materials
Explicit cost is used in determining accounting profit
Implicit cost or opportunity cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives
Implicit cost is used in determining economic profit
If Darnell didn't use his showroom, he could have rented it out. Renting it out is his next best option that was forgone. Thus, it is an implicit cost
If Darnell didn't start his business, he could have been working as an accountant. The amount he could have earned as an accountant is his implicit cost
Answer:Yield to maturity is 9.59%; After tax cost of debt =7.672%
Explanation:
A) Yield to maturity ={ C + (FV-PV)/t} / {(FV +PV)/2}
Where C – Interest payment = $90
FV – Face value of the security
= $1000
PV – Present value/curent market value = $960
t – years it takes the security to reach maturity= 10 years
imputing the values and calculating,
yield to maturity ={ C + (FV-PV)/t} / {(FV +PV)/2}
= $90 + (1000-960)/10} / 1000 + 960 /2
$90 + 4= $94 /980= 0.0959
therefore Yield to maturity is 9.59%
B) After tax cost of debt = Yield To Maturity x (1 - tax rate)
=9.59% x (1-20%)= 9.59% x (1-0.2 )= 9.59% x 0.8 =
9.59 % x 80%=7.672%
