Answer: B. $2,500
Explanation:
The American opportunity tax credit (AOTC) is a tax credit benefit for parents and Guardians to paying tuition on Qualified students.
A maximum of $2,500 in credit can be acquired per eligible student and to qualify for this maximum, a married couple filing together must have a Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) of less than $160,000.
With a modified AGI of $90,000, Jeffery and Cassie are below the threshold and qualify for the full figure.
Answer: D. Debit to Accounts Receivable of $1,620 and a debit to Cash of $1,080.
Explanation:
Route 66 Gift Shop records sales and sales tax separately so we would have to account for both of them in the amount recorded in the Journal Entry.
For the Accounts Receivables therefore the figure we would record is,
= 1,500 + 1500(0.08)
= $1,620
For the Cash Sales would be
= 1,000 + 1000(0.08)
= $1,080
Therefore option D is correct.
Answer:
The effect of this error on 2003 ending working capital is that it overstated the ending 2003 working capital.
The error does not have effect on the 2004 ending retained earnings balance.
Explanation:
Let the amount of the commission expense be xxxx.
At the end of 2003, the journal entries should have been as follows:
Debit Commission expense for xxxx
Credie Commission payable for xxxx
Also, we have:
Working capital = Current assets – Current liabilities ………… (1)
From equation (1), current liabilities are understated because commission payable which was not recorded is an item under current liabilities. Since the current liabilities are understated, that indicates that the working capital in equation is overstated. Therefore, the effect of this error on 2003 ending working capital is that it overstated the ending 2003 working capital.
When the 2003 commission expense in the entries above was paid in 2004, it would have been recognized as an expense. This made the error to counterbalance. This implies that the 2004 ending retained earnings balance is still correct despite that there are errors in the earnings of the two years. Therefore, the error does not have effect on the 2004 ending retained earnings balance.

Answer:
Cost of equity = 19.1
%
Explanation:
Cost of equity = required rate of return + flotation cost
The Capital assets pricing model would be used to determined the required rate of return
<em>The capital asset pricing model (CAPM): relates the price of a share to the market risk or systematic risk. The systematic risk is that which affects all the all the economic agents, e.g inflation, interest rate e.t.c </em>
Using the CAPM , the required rate of return is given as follows:
E(r)= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)
E(r) - required return
β- Beta
Rm- Return on market
Rf- Risk-free rate
DATA
E(r) =? , Rf- 3%, Rm-14% , β- 1.1, flotation cost - 4%
E(r) = 3% + 1.1× (14% - 3%) = 15.1
%
Cost of equity = required rate of return + flotation cost
= 15.1
% + 4% = 19.1
%
Cost of equity = 19.1
%
