Yanka [14]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

It is always something like B. People born from 1946 - 1955 (those are just numbers), form the majority of the population. They have paid into the pool and they expect to draw out benefits. They have been doing so for at least 8 years.

Health failure is beginning to catch up to this age group and most have not saved for their retirement. Even home ownership is no guarantee that they have the resources to combat what health problems they are having. They need to draw on entitlements. Sooner or later, there won't be any.

Sweet Company’s outstanding stock consists of 1,000 shares of cumulative 5% preferred stock with a $100 par value and 10,000 sha
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer: In year three the preferred stockholders would receive $7,000 and the common stockholders would receive $25,000.

Explanation: Preferred stockholders are always paid before common stockholders. Since this stock in cumulative it means that when there is not enough income in one year to pay the preferred stock then the company needs to pay them when they have the money in the future.

In this case the preferred stock is 5% of $100 par value and is cumulative. This means that every year the company needs to pay 5% times $100 par value on each stock, and there is 1,000 shares, so the total is $5,000 in preferred stock dividends.

In year one and two they did not declare enough dividends to pay this full amount. In year one they declared $2,000 and year two they declared $6,000. At the end of year two they should have received $10,000, but only received $8,000. In year three they need to pay the preferred stockholders the $2,000 that are in arrears, plus the $5,000 for year three, for a total of $7,000. Since there was $32,000 in dividends declared and $7,000 is going to the preferred stockholders, it means that there is $25,000 left for the common stockholders. $25,000/10,000 shares equals $2.50 dividend per share.

Winter's Toyland has a debt-equity ratio of .57. The pretax cost of debt is 8.2 percent and the required return on assets is 14.
True [87]

Answer:

<em>WACC 10.995</em>

Explanation:

We solve using the Weighted average cost of capital assuming a tax rate of 0% as we have to ignore taxes. Hence, we get:

WACC = K_e(\frac{E}{E+D}) + K_d(1-t)(\frac{D}{E+D})

Ke 0.14700

Equity weight 0.43

Kd 0.082

Debt Weight 0.57

t 0

WACC = 0.147(0.43) + 0.082(1-0)(0.57)

WACC 10.99500%

Jamison Company developed the following reconciling information in preparing its June bank reconciliation: Cash balance per bank
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

c. $15,065

Explanation:

In bank reconciliation the book balance is adjusted using some adjustments made by the the bank and still pending by the business. We make an adjusted balance of cash book balance and bank statement balance to reconcile the amounts.

Cash balance per book 6/30    $13,000

+ Note receivable                      $4,000

- Bank charges                          $35

- NSF check                               <u>$1,900  </u>

Adjusted Cash book balance   <u>$15,065</u>

Note receivable is received in the bank but not been recorded by the business. It will be added to the balance because it will increase the balance.

Bank charges are deducted by the bank but not been recorded by the business it will be deducted.

NSF check have already added by the balance but its not been cleared. So it needs to be deducted form the Book balance.
