Leokris [45]

Answer:

"Planning" is a very important process in order for a business to know how it is going to allocate and manage its resources to achieve its goals in a more organized way.

Tactical plans also include "when" or the time in which goals are going to be achieved. Most of the time, goals are set from less than a year to one year. In Puma's case, it's goal is by the end of the year.

Tactical plans also state the strategies that the company will use in order to achieve its goal. In order for Puma to increase its sales, it will be introducing new products, sell soccer equipment and combine different subsidiaries. These strategies will help Puma accomplish its mission.

So, this explains the answer.

A machine costing $180,000 was purchased May 1. The machine should be obsolete after four years and, therefore, no longer useful

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

Straight line depreciation expense

Year 1 = $27,500

Year 2, 3 ,4 = $41,250

Double declining method

Year 1: $60,000

Year 2: $60,000

Year 3: $30,000

Year 4: $15,000

Explanation:

Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

( $180,000 - $15,000) / 4 = $41,250

Depreciation expense every year would be 41250 expect in year 1 when the machine was used for only 8 months.

To determine the deprecation expense in the 1st year, determine the monthly deprecation expense.

41250 / 12 = 3,437.50

Depreciation for 1 st year = 3,437.50 x 8 = $27,500

Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset

Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life)

2 / 4 = 0.5

Depreciation expense in year one = 0.5 x $180,000 = $90,000

The same procedure for determining depreciation expense in year 1 under straight line depreciation would also be used here.

90,000 / 12 = $7,500

$7,500 x 8 = $60,000

Book value at the beginning of year 2 = $180,000 - $60,000 = $120,000

Depreciation expense in year 2 = 0.5 x $120,000 = $60,000

Book value at the beginning of year 3 = $120,000 - $60,000 = $60,000

Depreciation expense in year 3 = 0.5 x $60,000 = $30,000

Book value at the beginning of year 4 =$60,000 - $30,000 = $30,000

Depreciation expense in year 4 = 0.5 x $30,000 = $15,000

I hope my answer helps you

Viserion, Inc., is trying to determine its cost of debt. The firm has a debt issue outstanding with 25 years to maturity that is

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Pretax = 5.61%

After tax = 4.26%

Explanation:

The cost of debt will be the Yield to maturity of the bonds.

91 = present values of the 25 year annuity + present value of the maturity

There is no formula for exact YTM

we can either use excel or calculate by approximation:

In this case we will calcualte the YTM by aprroximation

$YTM = 2\times (\frac{C + \frac{F-P}{n }}{\frac{F+P}{2}})$

C= 25 cuopon payment 1,000 x 5% / 2 becayse paymenr are semiannually

F= 1000 the face value is 1,000

P= 910 the present value or market value is 91% of the face value

n= 50 25 year at 2 payment per year

$YTM = 2 \times (\frac{25 + \frac{1000-910}{50 }}{\frac{1000+910}{2}})$

dividend 26.8

divisor 955

YTM 5.6125654%

This will be the pretax cost of debt

then we calculate the after tax cost of debt

pre-tax cost of debt ( 1 - t ) = after-tax

5.61% ( 1 - .24 ) = 4,2636

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

The correct option is (b)

Explanation:

Managerial accounting is for internal purpose for the managers for decision making. It is not mandatory as per GAAP, unlike financial accounting. Transactions are recorded as per the understanding of managers and not as per specific standards,

Managerial accounting focuses on data being relevant and not necessarily objective. Since, it caters to internal users, it is customized as per their requirement. Financial accounting, on the other hand needs to be highly objective as it caters to a wider audience who need transparent and reliable financial information.

Therefore, managerial accounting focuses on data relevance over data objectivity.

Bill has always taken his dry cleaning to Tom's Dry Cleaning, Inc. One morning while Bill is in a hurry, he walks in the door of

blondinia [14]

Answer: C. an implied contract.

Explanation:

An Implied Contract is one that arises as a result of the way one or both of the parties involved in the contract acts towards the other.

Unlike an Express Contract, it need not be written down but it does have the same legal weight and strength of a written contract.

The basic principle of this contract is that people should always be treated fairly in business transactions so the need to always pen it down is not necessary.

By walking in and leaving his clothes at the laundry, Bill got into an Implied Contract as it would be unfair for Tom to just clean his clothes with no payment.
