Answer:

Advantages of a Joint Stock Company

One of the biggest drawing factors of a joint stock company is the limited liability of its members. their liability is only limited up to the unpaid amount on their shares. Since their personal wealth is safe, they are encouraged to invest in joint stock companies

The shares of a company are transferable. Also, in the case of a listed public company they can also be sold in the market and be converted to cash. This ease of ownership is an added benefit.

Perpetual succession is another advantage of a joint stock company. The death/retirement/insanity/etc does affect the life of a company. The only liquidation under the Companies Act will shut down a company.

A company hires a board of directors to run all the activities. Very proficient, talented people are elected to the board and this results in effective and efficient management. Also, a company usually has large resources and this allows them to hire the best talent and professionals.

Disadvantages of a Joint Stock Company

One disadvantage of a joint stock company is the complex and lengthy procedure for its formation. This can take up to several weeks and is a costly affair as well.

According to the Companies Act, 2013 all public companies have to provide their financial records and other related documents to the registrar. These documents are then public documents, which any member of the public can access. This leads to a complete lack of secrecy for the company.

And even during its day to day functioning a company has to follow a numerous number of laws, regulations, notifications, etc. It not only takes up time but also reduces the freedom of a company

A company has many stakeholders like the shareholders, the promoters, the board of directors, the employees. the debenture holders etc. All these stakeholders look out for their benefit and it often leads to a conflict of

A firm has a capital structure with $7 in equity and $1 of debt. The cost of equity capital is 0.16 and the pretax cost of debt
nlexa [21]

Answer:

0.147 or 14.7%

Explanation:

Equity (E) =$7

Debt (D) = $1

Cost of equity capital (Ce) = 0.16

Pretax cost of debt (Cd) = 0.08

Tax rate (r) = 0.3

The weighted average cost of capital of the firm is given by the following relationship:

WACC=\frac{E}{E+D}*C_e +\frac{D}{E+D}*C_d*(1-r)\\WACC = \frac{7}{7+1}*0.16 +\frac{1}{7+1}*0.08*(1-0.3)\\WACC= 0.14+0.007\\WACC =0.147 = 14.7\%

The weighted average cost of capital of the firm is 0.147 or 14.7%.

vekshin1

Answer:

The increase in gross profit is  $12,374.93

Explanation:

The increase in sales due to purchasing this new equipment is 25% of current sales figure of $750,000

increase in sales=$750,000*25%=$187,500

variable cost on the increase in sales is 55%=$187500 *55%=$103,125

The annual depreciation charge on the new equipment=cost of the new equipment-salvage value/useful life

cost of the new equipment is $357,500.37

salvage value is $0

useful life of the new equipment is 5 years

annual depreciation charge=($357,500.37-$0)/5=$ 71,500.07  

Increase/(decrease) in annual gross profit=$187,000-$103,125-$ 71,500.07  =$12,374.93

Listed below are accounts that appear in financial statements.
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Dividends  - <em>Statement of Changes  in Retained Earning</em>

Dividends are payments to shareholders from a company's net income. They are derived from the Statement of Changes  in Retained Earning because this is where Net Income is sent to. After they are deducted from Retained Earnings, the Earnings form part of Equity.

Differed Revenue  - <em>Balance Sheet</em>

Differed Revenue refers to money that was received from a customer or client for goods and/or services that have not yet been delivered. The business will treat them as a liability until they are delivered so they will go under Current Liabilities in the Balance Sheet assuming they are to be fulfilled in 12 months or less which is usually the case.

Service Revenue - <em>Income Statement</em>

These are revenue that the business earns for providing a service when their main source of revenue is by selling goods. It is listed in the Income Statement just after Revenue and is added to Revenue to get Total Revenue.
