Answer:
The correct answer is:
5.0 percent deflation between the first and second years, and 3.0 percent deflation between the second and third years. (a)
Explanation:
to calculate the percentage deflation, we will simply calculate the percentage change in price between the years stated. This is calculated as follows:
% change = 
Note that the negative sign shows a deflation.
if you use the same method for years two and three, you should get -3%, using P₁ as 142.5 and p₂ as 138.2. Hence option 'a' is correct.
Answer:
ROE would have changed by 8.52%
Explanation:
First we calculate the current ROE using Dupont Equation which gives ROE as,
ROE = Net Income/Sales * Sales/Total Assets * Total Assets/Equity
or
ROE = Net Profit Margin * Total Assets Turnover * Equity Multiplier
- Current ROE = 10600/295000 * 1.4 * 1.75 = 0.0880 or 8.8%
The condition says that the net income could have increased to 20850 but other factors will remain constant. Thus, to calculate new ROE, we will calculate the new Net Profit margin but the total assets turnover and the equity multiplier will remain constant as sales assets and capital structure is not changing.
- New ROE = 20850/295000 * 1.4 * 1.75 = 0.17316 or 17.32%
- The ROE would have changed by 17.32 - 8.80 = 8.52%
Answer:
(a). For every additional square foot of area of a house, the price is predicted to increase by $61
(b) The asking price is $145410 and the residual is a negative $4100
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
a) From regression equation Slope = 0.061
So slope = (0.061 × 1,000) ÷ 1 sq. ft.
= $61 per sq. ft.
For every additional square foot area price is increased by $61
b) If size of the house is = 1600 square foot then
Price = 47.81 + 1600*0.061
=$145,410
The asked price is $4,100 less than estimated price and residual is not positive
Hence,
Asking price = $145,410
Residual price = a negative $4,100
Answer:
The number of shares of stock issued in the stock dividend is 5,312.20 shares.
Explanation:
This can be determined as follows:
Number of shares before stock dividend = Number of shares reported on January 1, 2019 - Number of shares purchased for its treasury on March 24, 2019 + Number of treasury shares were sold on August 19, 2019 = 268,000 - 3,000 + 610 = 265,610
Number of dividend shares = Number of shares before stock dividend * Rate of stock dividend issued = 265,610 * 2% = 5,312.20
Therefore, the number of shares of stock issued in the stock dividend is 5,312.20 shares.
Answer:
The auditor is entitled to collect the audit fee and is not liable for $90 000.
Explanation:
Ace & King did their job in a competent way, the fact that the company's controller was doing something illegal is not their responsibility. External auditors work with the information that is given to them and their job is limited to analyzing them and making their conclusions about them.
In this case, the controller was the person responsible for giving the information to the auditing company, so he had the chance to direct their conclusions. An external auditor is not responsible for what happens inside a firm, and if someone steals money or assets, he/she is responsible for it.
