Presented below is information related to Shamrock Corp., which sells merchandise with terms 2/10, net 60. Shamrock Corp. record

Arada [10]

Answer:

Shamrock Corp.

Entry to write off the uncollectible balance of Warren Harding Co.:

Debit Allowance for Uncollectible accounts $13,500

Credit Accounts Receivable $13,500

To write off the uncollectible account.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Credit terms = 2/10, net 60. This means that 2% discount is allowed to each customer for making payment within 10 days and the longest credit is 60 days.

Sales to Warren Harding Co = $15,000

Amount debited to Accounts Receivable = 14,700 ($15,000 * 98%)

Amount paid by Warren (10%) = $1,500

Amount to be written off as uncollectible = $13,500

Discount of $300 will be reversed with a debit to the Accounts Receivable and a credit to Discount Allowed (since the Shamrock Corp. records its sales and receivables net.)

Cash of $1,500 will be debited and Accounts Receivable credited to record the 10% of $15,000 cash receipt from Warren Harding Co. The remaining amount, which is $13,500 will be written off with a debit to Allowance for Uncollectible accounts and a credit to Accounts Receivable.

Firm B Firm T Shares outstanding 4,800 1,800 Price per share $ 47 $ 20 Firm B has estimated that the value of the synergistic be

zmey [24]

Answer:

A. Share Offer Is Better

B. .4569

Explanation:

A. Based on the information given the shareholders of Firm T will be better off with the STOCK OFFER because cash offer is the amount of $22 per share.

B. Calculation to determine the exchange ratio of B shares to T shares

First step is to calculate the New shares created

New shares created = 1,800(1/2)

New shares created = 900 new shares

Second step is to calculate the value of the merged firm

Value of the merged firm= 4,800($47) + 1,800($20) + $9,100

Value of the merged firm= $270,700

Third step is to calculate the price per share of the merged firm

Price= $270,700/(4,800 + 900)

Price= $270,700/5,700

Price= $47.49

Fourth step is to calculate the Equity offer value

Equity offer value = (1/2)($47.49)

Equity offer value = $23.75 per share

Fifth step is to calculate the post merger share price

Value of the merged firm= $270,700

Shares in new firm = 4,800 + 1,800x

Hence:

Post merger share price:

P= $270,700/(4,800 + 1,800x)

Sixth step

For the target firm’s shareholders to be indifferent which means they have to receive the same wealth

Hence;

1,800(x)P= 1,800($22)

Let solve this equation for P

P= $22/x

Now Let Combine the two equations

$270,700/(4,800 + 1,800x) = $22/x

x= .4569

Seventh step is to calculate the NPV

NPV = 1,800($20) + $9,100 – 1,800($22)

NPV = $5,500

Eight step is to calculate the Share price

Share price = [4,800($47) + $5,500]/4,800

Share price = $48.15

Now let calculate the Exchange ratio

Exchange ratio = $22/$48.15

Exchange ratio = .4569

Therefore the exchange ratio of B shares to T shares that the shareholders in T would be indifferent between the two offers is .4569

Last year Bold and Best accounted for 56.5% of Baldwin's sales. Over the next few years, what should worry Baldwin's management

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

4 worries about Bold and Best (BB) are:

- Demand for BB may fall in the next few years, as customers are now less interested in purchasing BB or there is another substitute product for BB which is available in the market.

- Input costs/Production cost for BB may rise in the next few years, may be because of shortage of raw materials.

- The decline in BB sales may affect Baldwin's profitability as a whole because BB's revenue is currently the largest portion of the total revenue.

- Real purchasing power of customers fall because of a rise in expected inflation in the economy, which will lead to a fall in sales of BB.

Frank lives in an area that experiences frequent thunderstorms. What precautionary measures should he adopt?

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

There are different precautionary measures Frank can adopt. They are:

Explanation:

1. Frank should have outdoor furniture made of concrete instead of metal.

A strike of thunder on a metal surface will propel an electric shock.

2. Frank should pay good or regular attention to the weather forecasts.

He should have a handy device such as a small radio, which will keep him abreast of important happenings in the area.

3. Frank should take cover once a stroke of lightning appears in the sky.

The field of Physics lets us to know that light travels faster than sound and that the moment lightning appears in the sky, expect thunder roaring about 8 seconds after.

4. Frank should get used to or always wear covered shoes, to protect him from the electric charge that is created between a thunderstorm and a wet ground. Gloves could also do, for the hands.

5. Frank should structure his movements and road trips such that he accounts for some time that'll be used to wait for thunderstorms to pass; since it's unsafe to drive while the storms are roaring.

This will help him be on time to events and meetings.

6. Frank should avoid leaning on walls which have metal wires or bars across them, especially when lightning appears.

7. Frank should avoid anything wet, during a thunderstorm. This precaution should be taken even while indoors.

8. In the event that frank gets caught outdoors or in the open when a thunderstorm occurs, he should stoop and let only his feet have contact with the ground.
