Answer:

There is CEO duality

Explanation:

What is a CEO duality

CEO duality refers to the situation when the CEO also holds the position of the chairman of the board.

The board of directors is basically designed to keep an eye on managers such as the CEO on the behalf of the shareholders. They design compensation contracts and hire and fire CEOs. The benefit of having a dual CEO in the firm is because he or she  could work closely with the board to create value.

Christina in this sense is tryinb to bring more value to the firm and in ghe capacity of just the CEO her hands are tied. She probably wants more authority or power to do much more.

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Marks Company

Computation of Financial Ratios:

(a) Current ratio at 12/31/18 =  Current Assets/Current Liabilities = $1,1350,000/$339,000 = 3.35

(b) Acid test ratio at 12/31/18 = (Current Assets - Inventory)/Current Liabilities =  $760,000/$339,000 = 2.24

(c) Accounts receivable turnover in 2018 = Net Credit Sales/Average Accounts Receivable = $2,420,000/$328,000 = 7.37 times

(d) Inventory turnover in 2018 = Sales/Average Inventory = $2,420,000/$357,000 = 6.77 times or every 54 days.

(e) Profit margin on sales in 2018:

i) Gross Profit Margin = Gross Profit/Sales x 100 = $778,000/$2,420,000 x 100 = 32%

ii) Net Profit Margin  = Net Income/Sales x 100 = $278,000/$2,420,000 x 100 = 11.49%

(f) Earnings per share in 2018 = Earnings or Net Income divided by outstanding number of shares = $278,000/152,100 = $1.82

(g) Return on common stockholders’ equity in 2018 = Net Income divided by Common Equity = $278,000/$1,961,000 x 100 = 14.18%

(h) Price earnings ratio at 12/31/18 = Market price per share divided by earnings per share = $80/$1.82 = $43.95

(i) Debt to assets at 12/31/18 = Total Debts/Total Assets = $744,000/$2,705,000 x 100 =  27%

(j) Book value per share at 12/31/18 = Shareholders' Equity divided by number of outstanding shares = $1,961,00/152,100 = $12.89

Explanation:

a) Current Ratio = Current Assets/Current Liabilities

Current Assets for 2018:

Cash $404,000

Accounts Receivable $356,000

Inventories $375,000

Total = $1,135,000

Current Liabilities for 2018:

Accounts Payable $339,000

Dividends Payable $0

Total = $339,000

This liquidity ratio measures the entity's ability to pay off its current obligations with its liquid assets.  Current assets are assets that can easily be turned to cash within the calendar year.

b) Acid Test Ratio is also a liquidity ratio that evaluates an entity's ability to pay off its current obligations with current assets when inventory is excluded.  Inventory is not regarded as very liquid, especially given the longer time it may take to turn it over to cash.

c) Accounts Receivable Turnover measures the effectiveness of the company to collect its receivables resulting from the credit sales.  It shows how sales on credit are managed by evaluating the credit policy, collection process, and customers' creditworthiness.  In quantitative terms, it measures how many times receivables are converted to cash in a period.

d) Inventory Turnover measures the number of times average inventory was turned over to sales within a period.  The average inventory is the beginning and ending inventories divided by 2.  It is very useful in inventory decisions, especially pricing, production or purchase, etc.

e) Profit margin on sales is the gross profit or net income expressed as a percentage of sales.  The Gross profit margin measures the ability of management to create profit from its sales revenue when compared with the costs of sales.  The net profit margin measures the ability of the management to create value for the stockholders after deducting all expenses for running the business.

f) Earnings per share:  This is a profitability ratio that compares the net income to the number of outstanding shares.

g) Return on common stockholders’ equity: This ratio measures the company's ability to generate returns for common stockholders.  It is measured as net income for common equity divided by the common stockholders' equity.

h) Price earnings ratio: This ratio expresses the dollar amount which an investor can invest in a company in order to earn a dollar income.  It is used to value investment in a company.

i) Debts to Assets: This is a financial leverage ratio that tells the percentage of assets or a company's resources that is financed by creditors.

j) Book value per share: This is a market value measure that shows the value of net assets (equity) divided by the outstanding shares.  It is not the same as the market value per share, which reflects investors sentiments.  The book value per share compares the book value of equity with the number of shares.  It is used by investors to gauge if a stock is undervalued or not.

During Year 5, Tedd Co. became involved in a tax dispute with the IRS. At December 31, Year 5, Tedd's tax advisor believed that
kkurt [141]

Answer:

$400,000

Explanation:

Since at December 31, Year 5, Tedd's tax advisor believed that an unfavorable outcome was <u>probable</u>. And a <u>reasonable estimate </u>of additional taxes was $400,000 but could be as much as $600,000.

Although after the Year 5 financial statements were issued, Tedd received and accepted an IRS settlement offer of $450,000.

Tedd should have included an amount of $400,000 as accrued liability in its December 31, Year 5 balance sheet

The reason is that according to the International Financial Reporting Standards, a PROVISION must be made as long as the conditions below were obtainable at year end.

- Existing Condition (which in this case is the tax dispute with the IRS)

- Probable Cash Outflow (which Tedd's Tax adviser confirmed)

- Reliable Estimate of Outflow ( which the scenario stated ''A reasonable estimate of additional taxes was $400,000'')

Hence, such 'reasonable estimate is the appropriate amount for inclusion in the financial statements.

At year-end (December 31), Chan Company estimates its bad debts as 0.70% of its annual credit sales of $862,000. Chan records it
KiRa [710]

Answer: Please see the required journals below:

December 31:

Debit Bad debt expense                                $6,034

Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts       $6,034

February 1:

Debit Allowance for doubtful accounts              $431

Credit Accounts receivables                               $431

June 5:

Debit Cash                                                            $431

Credit Bad debt recovery (income statement)   $431

Explanation: The company estimates its bad debt expense as percentage of sales. In this case 0.7% of its annual sales of $862,000 was deemed as uncollectible, that is, 0.7% x $862,000 = $6,034. The required journals to recognize this bad debt expense is provided above. However, since there was an existing provision, which resides in the allowance account, a write-off would definitely hit that account in order to extinguish the accounts receivable portion. Upon recovery of the write-off, we cannot reinstate the receivable since it was already extinguished but we need to recognize the recovery as a gain.
