zaharov [31]

Answer:

The Federal Reserve took an expansionary approach during the crisis. This was done by expanding the money supply and boosting liquidity.

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Journal entry to record depletion expense

Depreciation expense $280,000 (debit)

Accumulated depreciation $280,000 (credit)

Explanation:

The coal mine is an economic resource controlled (ownership of risks and benefits) by Last year, Mountain Top, Inc as a result of past event (purchase transaction) from which economic benefits are expected to flow into the business (cash from sale of minerals).Therefore the coal mine is an asset!

The asset is being depleted as it is being used. This is called depreciation.

Depreciation expense in this case is calculated as :

Depreciable Account × Current harvest as a percentage of total estimated tons available

(900000-100000)× 70000/200000 = $280,000

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

C. Neither Mary nor Sharon can claim breach of contract.

Explanation:

Mary buys a lottery ticket and promises to buy her friend Sharon a new pair of shoes if she checks the lottery results while Mary is away.

Sharon agrees to do so, provided she has the time for it.

If Sharon fails to check the results and Mary wins the lottery,  then it would be true of the contract between Mary and Sharon that Neither Mary nor Sharon can claim breach of contract.

The reason is Mary's promise is based on the condition that Sharon checks the result, Sharon's promise is based on the condition that 'if she has the time for it.'

The condition was not met by Sharon hence she cannot claim a breach of contract because she did not check the results, similarly, Mary cannot sue Sharon because sharon made it clear that she will only check If she has the time.

Suppose your company needs $16 million to build a new assembly line. Your target debt−equity ratio is .7. The flotation cost for
kumpel [21]

Answer:

7.76%

Explanation:

The computation of the weighted average flotation cost is shown below:

= Weightage of equity × flotation cost for new equity +  Weightage of debt × flotation cost for debt

Since the debt-equity ratio is 0.7 which means the debt value is 7 and the equity value is 10 so the total firm would be 1.70

So, Weighted of debt = (0.7 ÷ 1.70) =0.411

And, the weighted of common stock = (Common stock ÷ total firm)

                                                              = (1) ÷ (1.70)

                                                              = 0.588    

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= (0.588 × 9%) + (0.411 × 6%)

= 0.05292% + 0.02466%

= 7.76%
