Answer: 2016= $13,000; 2017= $25,000

Explanation:

for 2016

Income to be recognised in 2016 for 12 months term=  Total proceeds x  period of service provided (july -december )/ Total contract term

Income to be recognised in 2016= 14,000 x 6months /12months

= 14,000 x 1/2= $7,000

Income to be recognised in 2016  for 24 months term= Total proceeds x  period of service provided (july -december )/ Total contract term

Income to be recognised in 2016= 24,000 x 6months /24months

= 24,000 x 1/4= $6,000

income to be recognized in taxable income in 2016= $7,000 + $6,000= $13,000

for 2017

Income to be recognised in 2017 for 12 months contract term=  Total proceeds x   remaining period of service provided from jan. to june 2017 / Total contract term

Income to be recognised in 2017= 14,000 x 6months /12months

= 14,000 x 1/2= $7,000

Income to be recognised in 2017 for 24 months contract term=  Total proceeds x   remaining period of service provided  fromjuly 2016 -dec 2017/ Total contract term

Income to be recognised in 2016= 24,000 x (24-6) 18months /24months

= 24,000 x 3/4= $18,000

income to be recognized in taxable income in 2017= $7,000 + $18,000= $25,000

Having in mind the pandemic, should a company reduce its leverage in order to add value to its shareholders? and why?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

No, taking into account the pandemic, companies should not reduce their leverage, as this would make it very difficult for small and medium investors to invest in a context of lack of income and shortage of available circulating money.

Therefore, leverage implies the possibility for investors to access the necessary funds to be able to invest their money, without the need to dispose of their savings or the money they use for essential activities.
