The Ascent, a mountain bicycle manufacturer, has been in the bicycle industry for a year now. The CEO wishes to better the compa

ny. He starts by looking at the sales records of the year that they have been in business and notices that the company's sales have been declining at a steady pace for the past six months and that at present they are selling only half as many bicycles as they want to. In an attempt to increase sales, he either wants to bring down the prices of his bicycles or expand the company by opening a new branch in another area. The CEO shares his views with the sales manager and finance managers. Together they decide that reducing the prices would definitely increase sales, although the profits would come down. They also determine that opening a new branch would only increase expenses. They conclude that they will reduce the prices of the bicycles. The plan is implemented and the CEO keeps a record of the sales every month to make sure the change is effective.Which of the following steps in formal planning process is the CEO performing when he debates between opening a new branch and reducing the prices?
a. engaging in situational analysis
b. monitoring and controlling
c. implementing the plan
d. selecting the goals and plans

Answer: e. generating alternative goals and plans.

Explanation:

The step in formal planning process is the CEO performing when he debates between opening a new branch and reducing the prices is referred to as generating alternative goals and plans.

Here, the CEO wants to increase the sales of the company and in an attempt to do that he's considering different alternatives in order to know and decide which one will be best for the company to undertake. This means he is generating alternative goals and plans.

Options A-D are wrong as the CEO isn't monitoring, controlling or implementing any plan. Option E is the right answer.

Myers Corporation's stock currently trades at $40 a share. Investors estimate that the year-end dividend will be $2.00 a share a
Fofino [41]

Answer: 10.2%

Explanation:

The formula to solve this question will be: Re =D1/P0(1 - float) + g

where,

D1 = $2.00

P0 = $40

Float = 4% = 4/100 = 0.04

g = 5% = 5/100 = 0.05

We will then solve Myers' cost of new external equity by slotting the values into the formula written. This will now be:

Re =D1/P0(1 - float) + g

= 2/40(1 - 0.04) + 0.05

= 2/(40 × 0.96) + 0.05

= 2/38.4 + 0.05

= 0.052 + 0.05

= 0.1020

= 10.2%

Myers' cost of new external equity will be 10.2%

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

Once you make the proper adjustments, the income statement should no longer show a $95,560 profit, instead it should show $55,080

Explanation:

1. Rent of $42,000 was paid on July 1, 2019, for 12 months.

December 31, 2019, adjusting entry on prepaid rent

Dr Rent expense 21,000

    Cr Prepaid rent 21,000

So rent expense must increase by $21,000

2. Purchases of supplies during the year totaled $18,000. An inventory of supplies taken at year-end showed supplies on hand of $2,720.

December 31, 2019, adjusting entry on supplies inventory

Dr Supplies expense 15,280

    Cr Supplies 15,280

So supplies expense must increase by $15,280

3. The building was purchased three years ago and has an estimated life of 30 years (total accumulated depreciation for 3 years = $21,000)

December 31, 2019, adjusting entry on building depreciation

Dr Depreciation expense 4,200

    Cr Accumulated depreciation - building 4,200

So depreciation expense must increase by $4,200

Adjusted income statement should be:

budgeted profit $95,560

- rent expense ($21,000)

- supplies expense ($15,280)

- depreciation expense ($4,200)

net income after adjustments = $55,080
