Answer: The correct answer is "d. All of these".

Explanation: All are characteristics of a multinational corporation. Since a multinational company is one that is not only established in its country of origin, but also established in other countries to carry out its commercial activities both for sale and purchase and production in the countries where they have been established.

a. Top management is expected to take a global perspective. - With a global perspective we mean that the top management must develop its strategies taking into account socioeconomic factors not only of the country where they belong but of the world, since in a multinational company it could affect externalities that occur in any part of the world.

b.The corporation is controlled by a single management authority. - Despite being a multinational company, there must be only one administrative authority that allows a clearer vision of the future of the company and establishes the objectives of long, medium and short term.

C. It is managed as an integrated worldwide business system. - Being a company located in many countries to be managed in an efficient way that maximizes benefits should be managed as an integrated worldwide business system that allows obtaining relevant data for decision making.

To solve this question we need to remember that

Total \, Productivity = \frac{Total\,Ouput}{Total \, Man \, Hours}

(a) 10 persons produce 160 valves in 8 hours, this implies a productivity of 2=160/(8x10)

(b) 2.25= 180/(8x10)

(c) Percentage change is given by (2.25-2)/2=.125

Gremlin Industries will pay a dividend of $ 1.55 per share this year. It is expected that this dividend will grow by 7​% per yea
sasho [114]

Answer: 14%

Explanation:

We can calculate this using the Gordon Growth Model which looks like this,

P = D1 / r - g

P is the current stock price

D1 is the next dividend

r is the rate of return or the cost of capital

g is the growth rate.

We have all those figures except the cost of capital so making r the subject of the formula we can solve for it. Doing that will make the formula,

r = D/ P + g

r = 1.55 / 22.10 + 0.07

r = 0.1401

r = 14%

14% is the equity cost of capital.

Allegheny Company ended Year 1 with balances in Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts of $68,000 and $3450, re
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

  • What amount will Allegheny report as bad debts Expense on its Year 2 income statement?

Dr Bad Debt Expense $ 8,250

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 8,250

Explanation:

  • Balances in Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts of:

Dr Accounts receivable $ 68,000

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 3,450

 

  • Allegheny write off $6300 of Uncollectible Accounts.  

Dr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 6,300

Cr Accounts receivable $ 6,300

 

  • Allegheny estimates that the ending Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance should be $5,400  

Dr Bad Debt Expense $ 8,250

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 8,250

Because the company already has a DEBIT balance ($2,850) in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts  

it's necessary to register an entry that COMPENSATE ($8,250) the existing value and reflect the value estimated as bad debts ($5,400 = $8,250-$2,850).  

If the company applies the allowance method, it means that the account Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts must show as balance the % of estimated value.

Bad accounts are those credits granted by the company and there is no possibility of being charged.

"When customers buy products on credits but the company cannot collect the debt, then it's necessary to cancel the unpaid invoice as uncollectible."

One way is to directly cancel bad debts at the time it was decided that the credit is bad, the total amount reported as bad debt expenses negatively affect the income statement and the accounts receivable are reduced by the same amount, less assets .

The other way is to determine a percentage of the total amount of accounts receivable as bad debts, there are many ways to analyze accounts receivable and calculate the value of bad debts.

When the company has the percentage of uncollectible accounts, the required journal entry is Bad Expenses (debit) with Reserve for Bad Accounts (credit)

At the time of cancellation, since the expenses were recognized before, we only use the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts (Debit)  with accounts receivable (credit), with this we are recognizing the bad credit of the company.

Assume that you are the portfolio manager of the SF Fund, a $3 million hedge fund that contains the following stocks. The requir
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

11.11%

Explanation:

<em><u>The full question with table is attached.</u></em>

<em><u /></em>

We need the rate of return formula using Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). The formula is:

R=R_f+\beta(R_m-R_f)

Where

R is rate of return (what we need)

R_f is risk-free return rate (5% = 0.05)

R_m is the market rate of return (11% = 0.11)

To get \beta, we take the weighted average of the portfolio.

Weight of Stock A = 1,075,000/3,000,000 = 0.3583

Weight of Stock B = 675,000/3,000,000 = 0.225

Weight of Stock C = 750,000/3,000,000 = 0.25

Weight of Stock D = 500,000/3,000,000 = 0.1667

Portfolio Beta = (0.3583*1.2) + (0.225*0.50) + (0.25*1.40) + (0.1667*0.75) = 1.02  

Now, we calculate rate of return using CAPM formula:

R=R_f+\beta(R_m-R_f)\\R=0.05+1.02(0.11-0.05)\\R=0.1112

That is 11.12%, or from answer choice, it is <u>11.11%</u>
