Answer:

after-tax cost of debt 5.2725%

Explanation:

We will solve for the market rate of the bonds which is the one that makes the maturity and coupon payment equal to its current market price:

We sovle it using a financial calcualtor or excel goal seek tool

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 110.000 (1,000 x 11%)

time 10 years

<em>rate 0.070304812</em>

$110 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0703048118151927)^{-10} }{0.0703048118151927} = PV\\$

PV $771.5066

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity 1,000

time 10 years

<em> rate 0.070304812</em>

$\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.0703048118151927)^{10} } = PV$

PV 506.90

PV c $771.5066

PV m $506.9034

Total $1,278.4100

Now that we find that market rate is 7.03%

we calcautle the after tax cost of debt:

7.03 x (1 - 25%) = 5.2725%

Daniel [21]

Answer:

$70,875

Explanation:

By definition, a flexible budget is when a budget has been adjusted or flexed to accommodate the changes in the level of activity.

If the company wanted to create a flexible budget for 9,000 units, then the value that would be recorded for variable costs will be:

Indirect materials, $22,000/8000*9000 = 24,750;

Indirect labor, $25,000/8000*9000 = 28,125 ;

Utilities, $12,000/8000*9000 = 13,500;

Supervision, $4,000/8000*9000=4,500

Total of variable costs = ........................70,875

Kitty [74]

Answer:

cash provided by operating activities 84,000

Explanation:

net income 75,000

Adjustment (A)

gain on land (500)

depreciation 1,500

Adjusted net income 76,000

Change in working capital

↑account receivable (3,000) (B)

↓long term AR 10,000 (C)

↑Account payable 1,000 (D)

Net changes 8,000

cash provided by operating activities 84,000

<u>Notes:</u>

(A)

The net income may have non-monetary term, we need to remove those to get and adjusted net income on a cash basis

the gain on land is not a monetary term. We will record the proceeds in cash for the sale under investment activities, not operating as the business is not selling land every year.

depreciation is an accounting metric, is not an actual expense, it doesn't involve cash.

(B)

the increasein the Ar means more sales were not collected therefore, less cash collected.

(C)

the decrease in the long term AR represent the collection, so it increases the cash

(D)

the increase in account payable represent the delay of payment, so company has more cash available.

When making any type of business you have to register it. I'm making an online store. When I register my website domain does tha

Elden [556K]

Answer:

The answer to this question is given below in the explanation section.

Explanation:

In this question, it is asked about two things. Registering and business and registering a website.

First, we explore registering a business, and then we will explore registering a website.

Registering a business:

In any economy or any country, if you are making any type of business and it is legally approved by that government, then it is your moral duty to register the business because government collect taxes from registered business and give benefit in return to those whose business is registered.

To register a business, it requires you to register your business with company registration institution. The business that has registration considered authentic and legally proved business and everyone can trust these businesses while dealing. Government gives incentives and benefits to registered business and solve their issues if they have any, for example, to do import and export, the government facilitate you in this regard.

Registering a business website:

Registering a business website is like to make your online existence that everyone globally approaches you. Registering a business and registering a website, both are different things. Registering a business website, or getting a domain for your site, does not count as registering it. The procedures for registering a business in any country is different than registering or getting a domain name for your website. for example, if I am in Pakistan, and I want to register my website, it might chances that I will register it on Microsoft cloud or google cloud. This registration does not contribute and give benefit to Pakistan in the collection of tax. And the government does not give me incentive as likes others who have registered their business with registration body.
