Answer:

COGS overstated for 5,000

Explanation:

<em>The COGS will be overstated  for the same ammount,</em> that is because of the inventory identity.

$$Beginning Inventory + Purchase = Ending Inventory + COGS

If ending Inventory has a problem, it will be transferred to COGS as well to equalize the formula

If ending Inventory is understated it means their alue is less than it's real value,

$$Beginning Inventory + Purchase \neq Ending Inventory (Real Inventory - Understimation) + COGS

so to balance the formula COGS need to be overstated.

$$Beginning Inventory + Purchase = Ending Inventory (Real Inventory - Understimation) + COGS(Real COGS + EI error)

If a store adds 50 chairs to its current inventory, the total number of chairs will be the same as three-halves the current inve
max2010maxim [7]
To answer this item, we let x be the current number of chairs. After adding 50 chairs to the current inventory, the total number of chairs would then be equal to x + 50. The equation that would allow us to determine the value of x is written below.

     x + 50 = (3/2)(x)

Simplifying the equation,
   x + 50 = 3x/2
  x - 3x/2 = -50
   -x/2 = -50

Dividing both sides of the equation by -1/2, the value of x is equal to 100. 

To increase the inventory by 40%, the equation would be,
    y = x(1.4) = 1.4(100) = 140

<em>ANSWER: 140 chairs</em>

The risk-free rate of return is 4%, the required rate of return on the market is 10%, and High-Flyer stock has a beta coefficien
Bess [88]

Answer:

the share should sell at $46

Explanation:

We use the CAPM method to know the required return of the capital

Ke= r_f + \beta (r_m-r_f)

risk free 0.04

market rate 0.1

beta(non diversifiable risk) 2

Ke= 0.04 + 2 (0.06)

Ke 0.16000 = 16%

Now we calculate with the dividends grow model the intrinsic value of the share:

\frac{divends}{return-growth} = Intrinsic \: Value

\frac{4.60}{0.16-0.06} = Intrinsic \: Value

$4.6/0.1 = $46

Which of the following changes in the loanable funds market will decrease the equilibrium real interest rate?
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

The answer is Option C

Explanation:

Any event that would either decrease the demand for loanable funds or increase the supply of loanable funds will decrease the equilibrium interest rates. Supply of loanable funds is affect by the amount of national savings. National savings in turn, is the sum of private savings, public saving and net capital inflow.

In option C, capital inflows are increasing. This means that there would be an excess supply of money in the economy which can be converted into loanable funds. This would, therefore, push the supply curve to the right thereby reducing the real interest rate equilibrium.

The nature of the tax system means that there is usually a trade-off between ___ and ___.
IgorC [24]

Answer:

<u>equity and efficiency</u>

Explanation:

Under the tax system there is no tax on losses. And also the losses can be carried forward and set off to profits in future.

When profits are earned the taxes are paid. After that the remaining profit is either distributed to equity or retained for future purposes.

The more efficiently the company works, higher will be the profit and higher will be the taxes.

As profit is for equity, and from that share the amount is given to tax authorities, which is some part of income, share of equity to tax.

Though it does not provide for right in company, but it is legal to pay the tax.

That is the price you pay for increasing or decreasing efficiency, in the form of income available for equity.

g Kaye's Kitchenware has a market/book ratio equal to 1. Its stock price is $12 per share and it has 5.2 million shares outstand
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

48.00%

Explanation:

For computing the debt to capital ratio, first we have to determine the equity value and debt value which is shown below:

Equity value = Number of outstanding shares × stock price per share

                    = 5.2 million shares × $12

                    = $62.4 million

We know,

Total capital = Debt + equity

$120 million = Debt + $62.4 million

So, the debt would be

= $120 million - $62.4 million

= $57.6 million

Now the debt to capital ratio would be

= $57.6 million ÷ $120 million

= 48.00%
