Answer:

d. It will have a credit balance of $100,000.

Explanation:

In the income statement, the total revenues and the total expenses are recorded.  

If the total revenues are more than the total expenditure then the company earns net income

And, If the total revenues are less than the total expenditure then the company have a net loss

This net income or net loss would reflect in the statement of the retained earning account.

So, the balance of income summary equals to

= Sales - expenses

= $540,000 - $440,000

= $100,000

The dividend should be deducted from the retained earning account. Hence, it will not be consider here

If c corporations retain their after-tax earnings, when will their individual shareholders be taxed on the retained earnings?
stepan [7]

When will shareholders of C businesses that retain their post-tax profits be subject to individual income tax on those retained profits. When shareholders sell their shares for a profit, they must pay taxes.

C corporations will pay tax at a corporate rate of 21% as of the 2020 tax year (down from 35 percent in 2017). Then, dividends are taxed at the owner's personal marginal tax rate, which is up to 37%. (depending on the tax bracket).

Distributions of money or other assets to shareholders will lower the corporation's earnings and profits (E&P), but they won't affect its taxable income. Taxes are paid by the corporation on its taxable income and by the shareholders on any dividends they receive.

The firm's tax rate is 34 percent. The firm's pre-tax cost of debt is 8 percent; the firm's debt-to-equity ratio is 3; the risk-
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

WACC = 0.08085  or  8.085% rounded off to 8.09%

Option c is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure that can contain one or more of the following components, namely debt, preferred stock and common equity. The formula to calculate the WACC is as follows,

WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate)  +  wP * rP  +  wE * rE

Where,

  • w represents the weight of each component
  • D, P and E represents debt, preferred stock and common equity respectively
  • r represents the cost of each component

We first need to calculate the weight of each stock. We know the basic accounting equation is,

Assets = Debt + Equity

We know the debt to equity ratio is 3. Then total assets will be,

Assets = 3 + 1

Assets = 4

Using the CAPM equation, we can calculate the cost of equity.

r = risk free rate  +  Beta  *  Market risk premium

r = 0.03  +  1.5  *  0.09

r = 0.165  or  16.5%

WACC = 3/4  *  0.08  *  (1 - 0.34)  +  1/4  *  0.165

WACC = 0.08085  or  8.085% rounded off to 8.09%

Randy’s Pizza delivers pizzas to dormitories and apartments near a major state university. The company's annual fixed costs are
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

a. 8,200 pizzas

b. 17,400 pizzas

c. $17,100

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. For break even point

= (Fixed expenses ) ÷ (Contribution margin per unit)  

where,  

Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable expense per unit

= $9 - $5

= $4

So, the break even point is

= $32,800 ÷ $4

= 8,200 pizzas

b. For target profit

The break even point is

= (Fixed expenses + target profit) ÷ (Contribution margin per unit)  

= ($32,800 + $36,800) ÷ $4

= 17,400 pizzas

c. And, the margin of safety in dollars is

= (Total sales - break even sales) × selling price per unit

= (10,100 pizzas - 8,200 pizzas) × $9

= $17,100

You want to buy a new sports coupe for $75,500, and the finance office at the dealership has quoted you a 7.9 percent APR loan f
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

$1,295.03

Explanation:

To find the answer, we will use the present value of an annuity formula:

PV = A ( 1 - (1 + i)^-n) / i

Where:

  • PV = Present Value of the investment (in this case, the value of the loan)
  • A = Value of the Annuity (which will be our incognita)
  • i = interest rate
  • n = number of compounding periods

Now, we convert the 7.9 APR to a monthly rate. The result is a 0.6% monthly rate.

Finally, we plug the amounts into the formula, and solve:

75,500 = A (1 - (1 + 0.006)^-72) / 0.006

75,500 = A (58.3)

75,500 / 58.3 = A

1,295.03 = A

Thus, the monthly payments of the car loan will be $1,295.03 each month.
