Answer:

The exchange rate implies in exchange rate of $1.75 but current market exchange rate is $1.80 which means that the dollar is undervalued and pound is over valued in the market.

We will buy Dollar in the market and use these dollars to buy gold and then sell this gold in Euros

E.G Buy a $1000 from the market for £555(10,000*1/1.8)

After that we can by 28.5(1000/35) ounces of gold from that and sell the gold for £571(20*28.5). This way we make a profit of £16 (571-555) without taking any risk.

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Buffalo Inc.

a. Journal Entry:

No journal entry required except a memorandum to record the split.  

b. Journal Entry:

Debit Stock Dividend (Retained Earnings) $84 million

Credit Stock Dividend Distributable $84 million

To record the declaration of a 100% stock dividend.

When issued:

Debit Stock Dividend Distributable $84 million

Credit Common Stock $84 million

To record the issuance of stock dividends.

2. Both methods increase the outstanding number of shares by 100%.  However, with a stock split of 2-for-1, there is no journal entry except a memorandum record to state the split.

Secondly, with a stock split or 2-for-1, the market price is also halved.  This does not happen with a stock dividend.  The market forces will determine and correct the market price to an acceptable level.  A stock dividend requires some accounting entries to be made.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Current market price of common stock per share = $113

Par value per share = $10

Book value per share = $68

Shares issued and outstanding = 8.40 million

a. The board votes a 2-for-l stock split:

Shares outstanding = 16.80 million shares

Market price = $56.50

Journal Entry:

No journal entry required except a memorandum to record the split.  The value of common stock remains the same.

b. The board votes a 100% stock dividend:

Shares outstanding will increase to 16.80 million shares

Market price = $113 and level off based on demand and supply.

Journal Entry:

Stock Dividend (Retained Earnings) $84 million

Common Stock $84 million

Newham Corporation produces and sells two products. In the most recent month, Product R10L had sales of $23,000 and variable exp
Talja [164]

Answer:

$865.75

Explanation:

The computation of break even point is given below:-

Total sales

= $23,000 + $36,000

= $59,000

Total variable cost

= $10,000 + $17,660

= $27,660

So, contribution margin = Total sales = Total variable cost

= $59,000 - $27,660

= $31,340

Profit volume ratio = (Contribution margin per unit) ÷ (Total sales) × 100

= $31,340 ÷ $59,000 × 100

= 53.11%

Since, the break even point = Fixed cost ÷ profit margin ratio

= $45,980 ÷ 53.11%

= $865.75

Xelga [282]

Answer:

a. $10,311

b. $0

c. $9,546.95

Explanation:

a. Deferred tax asset account:

= Deferred tax asset 2019 + Deferred tax asset 2020

Deferred tax asset 2019 = Bad debt for book purposes * tax rate

= 196,400 * 21%

= $41,244

Deferred tax asset 2020 = Bad debt for tax purposes * tax rate

= 147,300 * 21%

= -$30,933

Deferred tax account balance = 41,244 + (- 30,933)

= $10,311

b. Deferred tax liability account = $0

From the given details there are no tax liabilities.

c. Cost to Mini;

= Deferred tax asset * Present value factor

= 10,311 * 0.9259

= $9,546.95

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

$44,440.96

Explanation:

We must find the future value of the initial $7,900 deposit and the annuity (17 deposits of $1,200 each)

  • future value of the initial deposit = present value x (1 + interest rate)ⁿ = $7,900 x 1.04¹⁸ = $16,003.95
  • future value of the annuity = Payment x ([1 + interest rate]ⁿ - 1) / interest rate = $1,200 x (1.04¹⁷ - 1) / 0.04 = $28,437.01

total amount on Angela's savings account = $16,003.95 + $28,437.01 = $44,440.96
