The use of intermediaries is the primary difference between the two.

Explanation:

Direct distribution channel is one in which the consumer is directly connected to the manufacturer and there is no use of a distribution system that is separate from them and there are no intermediaries.

The contact between the two is direct.

To the contrary in an indirect distribution channel there is no direct connection between the manufacturer and the person who is actually buying the product and the business is being mediated by the middlemen.

You are an accounting student at a university and also a talented guitar player. During summer vacation, you are hired full time

Travka [436]

Considering the scenario described above, at the store, I am an employee. This is because I'm hired full-time.

Also, because an office manager is supervising me, that shows I am an employee.

Also, given that I work within normal business hours at the store, that is a characteristic of an employee. Again, payment of wages is associated with employee relations.

On the other hand, I work as an independent contractor at the pub because I decide the music to play and get paid per gig.

Also, given that I don't work at normal hours and get paid at a lump sum, this is an independent contractor working feature.

Hence, in this case, it is concluded that I worked as an independent contractor at the pub and an employee at the store.

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

December 31 Interest expense $3900 Dr

Interest Payable $3900 Cr

Explanation:

The interest and principal is both payable at maturity thus we need to accrue the interest payment and create a liability against the amount of interest due. The adjustment is made 6 months from the issue of the note thus the interest for 6 months is due. The entry would be to record 6 month's interest that relates to this year. The interest expense will be,

120000 * 0.065 * 6/12 = $3900

As the payment is not made until maturity we will credit interest payable by this amount.

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

a. The required rate of return on Okefenokee stock is 16%.

b. WACC = 10.56%.

c. Estimate the discount rate for an expansion of the company's present business.

It should be the same as the WACC = 10.56%

d. The required rate of return on Okefenokee's new venture is Ke = 18 %.

Explanation:

Here the given is,

E = $6 million, D = $4 million, Beta = 1.2,

Rmp = the expected risk premium on the market =10%.

Rf = The Treasury bill rate = 4%

a. The required rate of return on Okefenokee stock,

$Ke = Rf + Beta \times Rmp = 4 + 1.2 \times 10 = 16%$ %.

b. Tax rate, T = 40%

The proportion of debt = $Wd = D / (D + E) = 4 / (6 + 4) = 0.4$

Proportion of equity, We = 1 - Wd = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6

Cost of debt, Kd = Risk-free rate as debt is free of default = 4%

$WACC = Wd \times Kd \times (1 - T) + We\times Ke\\\\ = 0.4 \times4\times (1 - 40) + 0.6 \times 16\\\\ = 10.56%$

WACC = 10.56%.

c. Estimate the discount rate for an expansion of the company's present business.

It should be the same as the WACC = 10.56%

d. Suppose the company wants to diversify into the manufacture of rose-colored glasses. The beta of optical manufacturers with no debt outstanding is 1.4. What is the required rate of return on Okefenokee's new venture? (You should assume that the risky project will not enable the firm to issue an additional debt)

$Ke = Rf + Beta \times Rmp\\\\Ke = 4 + 1.4 \times 10 = 18%$

Ke = 18 %.
