Answer:

Add $45 to the book balance.

Explanation:

This is a transposition error which is an example of error of original entry. A transposition error occurs when the figures are posted in the wrong order, while an error original entry occurs when a wrong amount is entered into the right account. This kind of error usually causes discrepancy between the bank balance and the book balance.

To correct this error in the question, we first find the difference between the right amount and the wrong amount as follows:

Difference = Right amount – Wrong amount = $272 - $227 = $45

Therefore, the difference of $45 will be added to the book balance to bring it into an agreement with the bank treatment as follows:

Bank correct treatment = $272

New book treatment = Wrong amount + Difference = $227 + $45 = $272  

It can now be seen that both posting are now in agreement after the correction.

Assume a firm has a beta of 1.2. All else held constant, the cost of equity for this firm will increase if the: beta decreases.
eduard

Answer:

Risk-free rate decreases

Explanation:

The CAPM formula for calculating cost of equity requires one to know the value of 3 pieces of information only:

1. the market rate of return,

2. the beta value

3. the risk-free rate.

Ra = Rrf + [Ba∗(Rm−Rrf)]

where:

Ra=Cost of Equity

Rrf = Risk-Free Rate

Ba = Beta

Rm=Market Rate of Return

​From the formula

Ra = Rrf + [1.2∗(Rm−Rrf)]

Ra = Rrf + 1.2Rm - 1.2Rrf

From Ra = 1.2Rm -0.2Rrf

From the expression above, it can be seen that the lower the value of Rrf (Risk-Free rate), the higher the value of Ra.

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Fair price of the insurance policy is $62,500.

Explanation:

We have given that an investment that will pay you and your heirs $5000

So the annual cash flow = $5,000

It is given that you can earn 8 % annually on your money

Required rate of return = 8%

We have to find the fair price for the investment

Price of this annuity =\frac{5000}{0.08}=$62500

Fair price for the investment is $62,500.

A company sells goods for $150,000 that cost $54,000 to manufacture. Which statement is true?
sasho [114]

Answer:

Option B is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The sale of finished goods worth $54000 for an amount of $150000 will require us to recognize a revenue of $150000 and a reduction in inventory of finished goods worth $54000.

Option a is incorrect as the gross profit is not recognized on balance sheet. The gross profit is an income statement item.

Option c is incorrect as the sale of finished goods will cause a reduction in the finished goods inventory for the amount of goods sold.

Option d is incorrect as the sale will be recognized in sales revenue on the profit and loss statement and not on the balance sheet as revenue is a profit and loss statement account.

Thus, option b is the correct answer as the sale of finished goods will be represented by a reduction in finished goods inventory by the cost of the goods sold which is $54000.
