Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

Since the expenses are related to the formation of the business, we first capitalize these expenses and record them in our balance sheet as,

Debit Intangible Assets (Formation) by $48,500

Credit Cash/Bank by $48,500

This records an asset for the year of operation.

We amortize or depreciate these type of capitalized costs over a defined period of time. Assuming that we write off the entire cost by the end of first year we will record amortization as,

Debit Amortization expense/Income statement by $48,500

Credit Intangible Assets (Formation) by $48,500

Hope that helps.

Answer:

Annual depreciation= $12,970

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Kansas Enterprises purchased equipment for $72,500 on January 1, 2021. The equipment is expected to have a five-year service life, with a residual value of $7,650 at the end of five years.

To calculate the depreciation expense under the straight-line method, we need to use the following formula:

Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)

Annual depreciation= (72,500 - 7,650)/5

Annual depreciation= $12,970

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Present value = $35.00326585 rounded off to $35.00

Explanation:

Using the dividend discount model, we calculate the price of the stock today. It values the stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. To calculate the present value of the stock, we will use the following formula,

Present value = D1 / (1+r)  +  D2 / (1+r)^2  +  ...  +  Dn / (1+r)^n  +

[(Dn * (1+g)  /  (r - g))  /  (1+r)^n]

Where,

  • r is the required rate of return
  • g is the constant growth rate in dividends
  • n is the number of years

Present value = 5 / (1+0.155)  +  6.25 / (1+0.155)^2  + 4.75 / (1+0.155)^3  +  

3 / (1+0.155)^4  +  [(3 * (1+0.07)  /  (0.155 - 0.07))  /   (1+0.155)^4]

Present value = $35.00326585 rounded off to $35.00

olganol [36]

Answer: normal /upward sloping

Explanation:

The yield curve is a curve that shows the relationship that exist between interest rate and time to maturity. According to the expectation theory, it is stated that the yield curve will be upward sloping when there's increase in inflationary expectations.

The slope of the yield curve helps in giving a clue to know the direction of future interest rates. It should be noted that an upward sloping curve means that there is an expectation of higher interest rates in the future.

Therefore, when investors expect inflation to increase over the next 20 years and the maturity risk premium to increase over the next 5 years, the general yield curve will be upward sloping.
