Answer:
32.44 days
Explanation:
The computation of the average collection period is shown below:
But before that we have to determine the account receivable turnover ratio
So, the account receivable turnover ratio is
= (net sales) ÷ (average of account receivables)
= $25,875 ÷ ($2,400 + $2,200) ÷ 2
= $25,875 ÷ $2,300
= 11.25 times
Now the average collection period is
= Total no of days in a year ÷ account receivable turnover ratio
= 365 ÷ 11.25
= 32.44 days
We assume that the no of days that should be considered is 365 days
Answer:
Total increase in pretax earnings on Summer’s December 31, 2019, income statement is $20,253
Explanation:
Fair value of asset sold on lease = Present value of lease payments = $50,000 * Cumulative PV factor at 6% for 8 periods of annuity due
= $50,000 * 6.20979
= $310,490
Interest income for 2019 = ($310490 - $50,000) * 6% = $15,629
Total increase in pretax earnings on Summer’s December 31, 2019, income statement = $310490 - $300,000 + $15,629 - 5866 = $20,253
This kind of reasoning is said to be DEDUCTIVE REASONING.
Deductive reasoning is the process of reasoning based on multiple premises that are generally believed to be true. Deductive reasoning usually moves from the general to the specific. For instance, in the question given above, Jason reasoned that if other products are sold at discounted prices, then the items that are newly available will also be sold at discounted prices.
Answer:
11%
Explanation:
To address this exercise, we need to recall the formula for dividend discounted model (DDM). The DDM is stated as below:
Stock intrinsic value = Next year dividend/(Required rate of return - Long term growth)
Rearrange a bit this formula, we have:
Next year dividend/Stock intrinsic value = Required rate of return - Long term growth, or
Dividend yield = Required rate of return - Long term growth
Putting all the number together, we have:
6.4% = Required rate of return - 4.6% or Required rate of return = 11%
Answer:
b. A truck held for resale by an automobile dealership
Explanation:
Property plant and equipment are physical or tangible assets used by an organization in the ordinary course of business. They include Land and building used in ordinary business operations, plant and machinery used in production, Land improvements, such as parking lots and fences etc. Such assets are usually depreciated as they are used and in accordance with the organization's policy. However, assets held for sale are not used by the organization in the ordinary course of business rather, the company holds them till such assets are sold. No depreciation is computed on the assets held for sale. Hence, from the options given, a truck held for resale by an automobile dealership is the only item held for sale and does not qualify for recognition as property plant and equipment. The right answer is b.
