Answer:

6.4%

Explanation:

For computing the minimum yield on investment, first we have to find out the combined ratio which is shown below:

= Projected loss percentage + expense ratio + dividend percentage

= 77.5% + 23.9% + 5%

= 106.4%

So, the minimum yield on investment required is

= 106.4% - 100%

= 6.4%

The 100% is the percentage value

We simply applied the above formula

During 2021, Sysco Corp. had 950,000 shares of common stock and 100,000 shares of 7% preferred stock outstanding. The preferred
solong [7]

Answer:

c. $6.03

Explanation:

<u>Earnings available to common shareholders</u>

Net Income                                                             $6,000,000

Less: Preference dividend                                     <u>$200,000   </u>

Net Income available to common shareholders  <u>$5,800,000</u>

<u />

Number of Common shares = 950,000

Equivalent common shares for convertible 5% Bonds = 10,450. [Number of bonds = 2,100,000/1,000 = 2,100 shares. Equivalent common shares = 2,100 * 5 = 10,500 shares]

Weighted average number of common shares outstanding = 950,000 + 10,500 = 960,500

Earnings per share = Earnings available to common shareholders / Weighted average number of common shares outstanding

Earnings per share = $5,800,000 / 960,500

Earnings per share = 6.038521603331598

Earnings per share = $6.04

Incremental income when re-worked= $4.3 × 19,000 = $81,700

Incremental income as scrap=$66,500

Incremental income when re-worked= $81,700

Scarbrough Corp. factored $600,000 of accounts receivable to Duff Corp. on October 1, year 2. Control was surrendered by Scarbro
Virty [35]

Answer:

Scarbrough will receive and record cash of $538,685

The journal entry to record this transaction would be:

                             Debit        Credit  

Cash                 $2,900,300  

Interest Expense $89,700  

Notes Payable                 $2,990,000

Debit Cash for $2900300, debit Interest Expense for $89700, and credit Notes Payable for $2990000

Explanation:

In order to calculate the amount Scarbrough will receive and record cash we would have to make the following calculation:

Scarbrough will receive and record cash=Receivables-Amount of the hold back-Withheld as fee income-Less: Withheld as interest expense

Receivables= $600,000  

Amount of the hold back=$600,000 x 5%=$30,000  

Withheld as fee income=$600,000 x 3%=$18,000  

Withheld as interest expense=$600,000 × 15% × 54/365=$13,315  

Therefore, Scarbrough will receive and record cash=$600,000- $30,000-$18,000-$13,315=$538,685

Scarbrough will receive and record cash of $538,685

According to the given data to journal entry to record this transaction would be the following:

 

                              Debit        Credit  

Cash                 $2,900,300  

Interest Expense $89,700  

Notes Payable                 $2,990,000

Interest Expense=$2,990,000 x 3%=$89,700

Setler [38]

Answer:

Cost of goods sold as per average cost method = $92,458.5

Explanation:

As for the information provided as follows:

Opening Inventory             265 units     @         $153 each      = $40,545

Purchase                             465 units     @         $173 each      = $80,445

Purchase                             165  units     @         $213 each      = $35,145

Total data                            895 units                                        = $156,135

Average cost per unit = $156,135/895 = $174.45

In average cost method simple average is performed, whereas in weighted average weights are assigned.

Sale is of 530 units

Cost of goods sold as per average cost method = $174.45 \times 530 = $92,458.5
