Answer:
The right answer is A. Liabilities increased by $1.0 million in 2018
Explanation:
During 2017 and 2018, we have the following information:
+ In 2017, there is $2 million wages earned but not yet paid, so, Wages payable at the end of 2017 should be amounted to $2 million.
+ In 2018, there is another $8 million wages earned. At the same period, there is $7 million wages paid which is distributed as followed: $2 million to clear all Wages payable in 2017 and the other $5 million to clear $5 million out of $8 million wages payable in 2018. So, the only wages liability outstanding at the end of 2018 is the amount of $3 million earned in 2018 but not yet paid ($8 million - $5 million).
=> Liabilities in 2018 increases $1.0 million in comparison with the year 2017 ( $3 million - $2 million).
Answer:
wP = 114.5 / 514.6 = 0.2225 or 22.25%
Explanation:
The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure. The capital structure of a firm can be made up of one or more of the following components namely debt, preferred stock and common equity. The WACC is normally calculated using the market value of these components. The formula for WACC is,
WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate) + wP * rP + wE * rE
Where,
- wD, wP and wE represents the weight of debt, preferred stock and common equity in the capital structure based on the market value
- rD, rP and rE are the cost of debt, preferred stock and common equity respectively.
To calculate the weight that should be assigned to the preferred stock in the calculation of WACC, we need to determine the market value of preferred stock and the market value of the capital structure.
Market Value - Debt = 10000 * 1000 * 1.01 = $10.1 million
Market Value - Preferred stock = 1 * 114.50 = $114.5 million
Market Value - Common equity = 26 * 15 = $390 million
Total MV of capital structure = 10.1 + 114.5 + 390 = $514.6
wP = 114.5 / 514.6 = 0.2225 or 22.25%
Answer:
c. Events
Explanation:
REA is the acronym for Resource, event, agent. It is a model employed by the Accounting Information System (AIS). REA comprises three (3) categories of elements.
- Resource ( inventory, cash)
- Event (sale, purchase)
- Agent (customer, employees)
REA a technique used for documentation, and it represents a portion of an entity-relationship diagram.
During the different evaluation of business cycles, the minimum cardinalities of the event are usually the same. It is not altered, i.e., they remain 0 despite each business cycle component when REA diagrams are fused.
Answer:
Option "C" is the correct answer to the following situation.
Explanation:
Bounded rationality is the concept that we make informed decisions but within the constraints of the information available to each other and our intellectual capacity.
Bounded rationality is the belief that the wisdom of people in decision-making is restricted by the knowledge they have, the logical capacities in their brains and the small number of hours they need to make a decision.
Therefore, option "C" is correct answer
Answer:
Stock Y is overvalued and Stock Z is undervalued.
Explanation:
The stock is fairly valued when the required rate of return on the stock is equal to its expected return. If the expected return on the stock is more than the required rate of return, the stock is undervalued and vice versa.
The required rate of return on the stock is calculated under the CAPM approach suing the following formula.
r = rRF + Beta * rpM
Where,
- rRf is the risk free rate
- rpM is the risk premium on market
r of Stock Y = 0.052 + 1.3 * 0.077 = 0.1521 or 15.21%
The required rate of return of Stock Y (15.21%) is more than its expected rate (14.9%) which means the stock is overvalued.
r of Stock Z = 0.052 + 0.95 * 0.077 = 0.12515 or 12.515%
The required rate of return of Stock Z (12.515%) is less than its expected rate (12.8%) which means the stock is undervalued.
