The following selected amounts are available for Waterway Company: Retained Earnings (beginning balance) $1,050 Net loss 150 Cas
never [62]

Answer:

Ending retained earnings balance is 700.

Explanation:

In order to find the ending retained earnings we will have to start from the beginning retained earnings. The beginning retained earnings are 1050. Because the company has a net loss of 150 we will subtract 150 from 1050. And we are left with 900. After this we will subtract the 100 cash dividends as these are also paid from the retained earnings that the company has so we are left with 800. Also the company pays a stock dividend worth 100 so we will also subtract that and are left with 700. So the ending retained earnings balance is 700.

Daniels Transport has operating income of $68,200, interest expense of $210, dividends paid of $320, depreciation of $12,400, ot
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Operating income = $68,200

Interest expense = $210

Dividends paid = $320

Depreciation = $12,400

Other income = $2,100

common stock = $48,500 with a par value of $1 per share

Retained earnings = $29,700

Income before taxes:

= Operating income - Interest expense + Other income

= $68,200 - $210 + $2,100

= $70,090

Net income:

= Income before taxes - Taxes at 21%

= $70,090 - ($70,090 × 21%)

= $70,090 - $14,719

= $55,371

Shares of common stock outstanding:

= Common stock ÷ Par value per share

= $48,500 ÷ $1

= 48,500 shares

Earnings per share:

= (Net income - Preferred dividend) ÷ Shares of common stock outstanding = ($55,371 - 0) ÷ 48,500

= $1.14 per share

Therefore, the earnings per share if the tax rate is 21 percent is $1.14.

A 15-year, annual coupon bond is priced at $984.56. The bond has a $1,000 face value and a yield to maturity of 6.5 percent. Wha
Bess [88]

Answer:

6.35%

Explanation:

you can use the yield to maturity formula to determine the coupon:

YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value) / n]} / [(face value + market value) / 2]

0.065 = {coupon + [(1,000 - 984.56) / 15]} / [(1,000 + 984.56) / 2]

0.065 = {coupon + 1.029} / 992.28

64.4982 = coupon + 1.029

coupon = 63.47

coupon rate = 63.47 / 1,000 = 0.06347 = 6.35%
