Assume you work for a valuation firm, and you have been given the assignment of valuing a local law firm comprising three partne

rs and four associates. One partner plans to retire spoon, and the partners are trying to agree on the value of a one-third interest in the firm in order to buy out the departing partner's interest. The firm's revenue per partner is two times higher than that of the average firm of a similar size, but you soon discover that 80% of firm revenue is from one client.

Answer:

Valuation of a law firm

One question to raise:

Which of the partners brought in this one powerful client?  I hope it is not the retiring partner.

Explanation:

If the retiring partner had brought in the client and had been in charge of the client's business, the firm's valuation would be drastically influenced by these facts.  It is likely that the client might retire the service as the retiring partner retires.  This will jeopardize the revenue outlook of the firm, its future prospects, and its current value.  However, if the retiring partner is not linked to this powerful client, then it may be that the firm's value will not be at risk.  Again, over-dependence on one client for firm's revenue is does not augur well for the firm.  Moreover, the margin of over-dependence is too high for comfort.  There is serious need for a review of the relationship, not in terms of termination, but in terms of seeking for more big-ticket clients to relatively reduce the over-dependence.

which of the following is not typically involved in rescheduling activities of a troubled sovereign loan? group of answer choice
Margarita [4]

Shortening the repayment schedule is not typically involved in rescheduling activities of a troubled sovereign loan.

Governments of independent political entities can issue debt, typically in the form of securities, known as sovereign debt.

Unique risks associated with sovereign debt are not present in other forms of lending.

The creditworthiness of sovereign debtors and the securities they issue is frequently rated by a number of private agencies.

Economies and political systems that are stable are often seen as having better credit risks, enabling them to borrow on more favorable terms.

Governments incur sovereign debt through the issuance of bonds, notes, and other debt instruments as well as by the borrowing of funds from other nations and international institutions like the International Monetary Fund.

Foreign currencies as well as domestic ones may be used to pay off sovereign debt, which may be due to outsiders or to the nation's own population.

On April 1, 2013, Four Seasons Landscaping, LLC purchased new lawn mowers for $70,000 in cash (total cost). They have a useful l
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Please see the calculation explanation below and the depreciation expense chart for all methods is attached.

Explanation:

1. STRAIGHT-LINE DEPRECIATION METHOD:

<em>Depreciation Expense = (Total Cost - Residual Value) / Useful Life </em>

Depreciation Expense = ($70,000 - $10,000) / 3 years

Depreciation Expense = $60,000 / 3 years

Depreciation Expense = $20,000 per year

2. DOUBLE DECLINING BALANCE DEPRECIATION METHOD:

<em>Depreciation Expense Rate = (100% / Useful Life) x 2 </em>

Depreciation Expense Rate = (100% / 3) x 2

Depreciation Expense Rate = 66.67%

<em>2013: </em>

Depreciation Expense = $70,000 x 66.67% = $46,667

<em>2014: </em>

Depreciation Expense = ($70,000 - $46,667) x 66.67% = $15,556

Since the residual value is $10,000 and as per Double Declining Balance Method, the point at which Book Value is equal to the residual value, no depreciation is taken.

<em>Depreciation Expense = (Total Cost - Residual Value) - (Accumulated Depreciation) </em>

Depreciation Expense = ($70,000 - $10,000) - ($46,667)  

Depreciation Expense = $13,333

<em>2015: </em>

No Depreciation Expense for year 3, as Book value is already equal to residual value in year 2.

3. PER HOUR DEPRECIATION METHOD:

<em>2013:</em><em> </em>

<em>Depreciation Cost per hour = (Engine Hours in 2013 / Total Engine Hours) x (Total Cost - Residual Value) </em>

Depreciation Cost per hour = (500 / 1,200) x ($70,000 - $10,000)

Depreciation Cost per hour = $25,000

<em>2014: </em>

<em>Depreciation Cost per hour = (Engine Hours in 2014 / Total Engine Hours) x (Total Cost - Residual Value) </em>

Depreciation Cost per hour = (400 / 1,200) x ($70,000 - $10,000)

Depreciation Cost per hour = $20,000

<em>2015: </em>

<em>Depreciation Cost per hour = (Engine Hours in 2015 / Total Engine Hours) x (Total Cost - Residual Value) </em>

Depreciation Cost per hour = (300 / 1,200) x ($70,000 - $10,000)

Depreciation Cost per hour = $15,000

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Deferred Tax Liability= $564,000

Explanation:

The question is to determine the deferred tax liability to recognize by Sunland Co. at the end of the year 2017.

Step 1 :

We determine what the Income tax expense is for the year

Income tax expense= Pretax financial income x Income Tax rate

Income tax expense= $1,410,000 x 0.30 = $423,000

Step 2:

Although we recognized receivables as well as instalmental sales for reporting purposes under the accrual method. However, these will be subject to tax when we decide to recognize it in the future.

As such Deferred tax liability = Future Tax Liability

Deferred Tax liability for Sunland Co= Instalmental Sales x Income tax expense

= $1,880,000 x 0.3= $564,000

this is an example of semantic memory

<h3>What is semantic memory?</h3>

Semantic memory refers to general world knowledge collected by humans over the course of their lifetimes. This general knowledge is influenced by experience and culture.

You are using semantic memory when you know what an object is, the name of a color, or the name of the president. Semantic memory is critical for children and students since it allows you to recall the facts that you are learning and being evaluated on.

Semantic memory is conscious long-term memory for the world's meaning, understanding, and conceptual facts. Semantic memory is one of two types of explicit, conscious, long-term memory, which is memory that may be recovered into conscious awareness after a considerable delay (from several seconds to several minutes).
