Answer:

The cost basis for the land is equal under both options.

Explanation:

If Taylor pays Ella $150,000 in cash and assumes the mortgage of $100,000, the cost basis of the land will be $250,000 (= $150,000 + $100,000). If he decides to pay Ella the full amount of $250,000, that will also be the cost basis of the land.

The only real difference is that if Taylor decides to assume the mortgage, he will need a smaller initial cash flow ($150,000).

Lisa [10]

Answer:

D) Markets allocate goods effectively.

Explanation:

The two main principles of capitalism are that individuals are rational and act according to their best self interest, and markets will allocate goods and service more efficiently than governments.

In this case, the stores ran out of batteries and flashlights due to a sudden increase in the demand, but since the stores make a profit by selling batteries and flashlights, they immediately replenished their stocks and were able to satisfy all the customers' needs.

If the stores would have needed government permission for replenishing their inventories, they would have never done it so fast and so efficiently.

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Journal Entry

Explanation:

The Journal Entry is shown below:-

Cash Dr,                                 $36,006

Cash short and over Dr,        $4

Fama’s Llamas has a weighted average cost of capital of 10.9 percent. The company’s cost of equity is 12 percent, and its pretax
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

0.2

Explanation:

The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is calculated as below:

WACC = (D/A) x r_D x (1-t) + (E/A) x r_E , where:

A: Market value of company asset;

D: Market value of company debt;

E: Market value of company equity;

r_D: pre-tax cost of debt;

r_E: cost of equity;

t: tax rate

Rearrange above formula a bit, we get:

WACC = (D/A) x r_D x (1-t) + (1 - D/A) x r_E

Putting all the numbers together, we have:

10.9% = (D/A) x 8.9% x (1 - 38%) + (1 - D/A) x 12%

Solve the equation, we get D/A = 17% or D/E = 0.2

So, target debt−equity ratio is 0.2

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

EXTERNAL FINANCING NEEDED IS $383.736

Explanation:

For calculating the external financing , we first have to take out what the sales , cost , asset , liability will be when the sales of the company increases by 17%, so now we have to calculate all the values -

   SALES    = $11,100 X 1.17  ( multiplying by 17% because of increase in sale)

                  = $12,987  

   COST = $7900 X 1.17  (multiplying by 17%)

              = $9243

INCOME BEFORE TAX = SALES - COST

                                       = $12,987 - $9243

                                       = $3744

TAXES AT 24% ON TAXABLE INCOME OF $3744

             = .24 X $3744 =$ 898.56

Now subtracting this amount from taxable income

$3744 - $898.56 = $2,845.44

Next step would be of paying dividend payout ratio from it

40% of $2,845.44 = .40 x $2845.44

= $1138.176

RETAINED EARNINGS = Taxable income - Dividend payout

                                     = $2845.44 - $1138.176

                                     = $1707.264

NOW TOTAL ASSETS WOULD BE = $15,600(5400+10200) X 1.17

                                                         = $18,252

IT IS GIVEN IN THE QUESTION THAT COST, ASSET, LIABILITY(CURRENT) ARE ALL PROPORTIONAL TO SALES.

CURRENT LIABILITY = $3300 X 1.17

                                   = $3861

TOTAL COST = LONG TERM LIABILITY + CURRENT LIABILITY

                       =$4820 + $3861

                      = $8681

TOTAL EQUITY EQUAL = $7480 + $1707.264 (RETAINED EARNINGS)

                                        = $9187.264

EXTERNAL FINANCING = ASSET - LIABILITY - EQUITY

                         = $18,252 - $8681 - $9187.264

                         =    $383.736
