Answer:

Interest rate on debt is 12.40%

Explanation:

Since break-even EBIT $41,650 , the equation of the two capital structure can be written as below:

EPS under the first capital structure=EPS under the second capital structure

Generally EPS =EBIT/weighted average number of shares in an all equity financed structure like the first one

EPS=EBIT-(debt*interest rate)/weighted average number of shares in a mixed capital structure

$41,650/15,500=$41,650-($65000*interest rate)/12,500

by cross multiplication

41,650/15,500*12,500=41650-(65000*interest rate)

33588.71=41650-(65000*interest rate)

65000*interest rate=41650-33588.71

interest rate=(41650-33588.71)/65000

interest rate=12.40%

Helen spent the last 85 days of 2020 in a nursing home. The cost of the services provided to her was $27,625 ($325 per day). Med
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Amount included in gross income of Helen is $0.

Hence, There will be no effect upon the gross income of Helen.

Explanation:

Data Given:

Number of Days Helen Spent = 85 days

Cost of the services = $27,625

Medicare Paid = $8400

Benefits received = $15440

Assumption: Federal Daily Excludible amount = $380

Solution:

Daily Statutory  amount = Daily Excludible amount x number days spent

Daily Statutory  amount =  $380 x 85 days

Daily Statutory  amount = $32300

We know that,

Amount of Medicare Paid = $8400

So, now we need to calculate the amount of exclusion first.

1. Amount of Exclusion = cost of the services - Medicare paid

Amount of Exclusion = $27625 - $8400 = $19225

So, now we calculate the amount included into the gross income of Helen.

2. Amount included in gross income = Benefits Received - Amount of Exclusion

Amount included in gross income =  $15440 - $19225

Amount included in gross income = -$3785

Here, we will not cater the negative, which means that amount included in gross income of Helen is $0.

Hence, There will be no effect upon the gross income of Helen.

The Homestead Strike of the Iron and Steel workers in Homestead, PA is representative of the struggle in the late 1800's between
denpristay [2]

Answer:

A) True

Explanation:

The Homestead strike was a combination of both a company lockout (the company didn't allow workers to work) and a union strike (where the workers did't want to work). It was a power struggle between one of the darkest and sinister monopolists of the 19th century, Carnegie Steel (led by Andrew Carnegie) and the most powerful workers' union in America, the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers.

In 1889 the union won, but Carnegie wanted revenge, so in 1892, he demanded harsher conditions after the initial contract was over and when the union said no, a lockout started. It was bloody and messy, with 16 dead. Carnegie's private army of 300 guards faced 10,000 strikers and things turned ugly soon. The Pinkertons (Carnegie's troops) were "defeated" but too many lives were lost.

Since Carnegie's little was defeated, he asked a bigger fish to help him and the governor sent 8,000 soldiers to arrest any union striker that opposed Carnegie. Finally, Carnegie's millions and corrupt politicians won, and the workers were forced to accept lower wages and more working hours. Those who rejected the forced deal were sent to prison.

Would Davidson Masonry automatically be taxed as a partnership or a corporation? Is Davidson Masonry member managed or manager m
vichka [17]

Answer: The answers are provided below.

Explanation:

In Papagos Arizona, a deteriorating bridge on a prominent public roadway needed a repair. The city posted notices seeking proposals for an artistic bridge design and reconstruction. Davidson Masonry, LLC owned and managed by Carl Davidson and his wife - Marilyn Rowe, decided to submit a bid for a decorative concrete project that incorporated artistic metalwork. They contacted Shana Lafayette, a local sculptor who specialized in large-scale metal forms, to help them design the bridge. The city selected their bridge design and awarded them the contract for a commission of $184,000. Davidson Masonry and Lafayette then entered into an agreement to work together on the bridge project. Davidson Masonry agreed to install and pay for concrete and structural work, and Lafayette agreed to install the metalwork at her expense. They agreed that overall profits would be split, with 25 percent going to Lafayette and 75 percent going to Davidson Masonry. Lafayette designed numerous metal sculptures of salmon that were incorporated into colorful decorative concrete forms designed by Rowe, while Davidson performed the structural engineering. The group worked together successfully until the project was completed. Using the information presented in the chapter, answer the above question.

1. Would Davidson Masonry automatically be taxed as a partnership or a corporation?

2. Is Davidson Masonry member managed or manager managed?

3. When Davidson Masonry and Lafayette entered an agreement to work together, what kind of special business form was created? Explain.

4. Suppose that during construction, Lafayette had entered into an agreement to rent space in a warehouse that was close to the bridge so that she could work on her sculptures near the site where they would eventually be installed. She entered into the contract without the knowledge or consent of Davidson Masonry. In this situation, would a court be likely to hold that Davidson Masonry was bound by the contract that Lafayette entered? Why or why not?

1. A limited liability company will be taxed as a partnership unless the firm declares that it wants to be taxed as a corporation. A limited liability company that has at least two members can either choose to be taxed as a partnership or as a corporation.

In this case, the parties involved haven't declared to be taxed as a corporation, therefore they'll be taxed as a partnership.

2. Most states assume that a limited liability company is manager managed unless when it's otherwise stated by the articles of the organization. However, in this case, the text said that Davidson Masonry, was owned and managed by both members and since all the members of the LLC participates in management, then Davidson Masonry was member managed.

3. The kind of special business formed is a joint venture. Masonry and Lafayette then entered into an agreement to work together on the bridge project. Davidson Masonry agreed to install and pay for concrete and structural work, and Lafayette agreed to install the metalwork at her expense. They agreed to share the profit by ratio of 75% to 25%.

Joint Venture is a kind of business that is formed when two businesses combine their resources together and meet their different skill set in order to achieve a common business objective.

4. Joint venture possesses less power to bind members underlying the venture when compared to partnership. In this scenario, Lafayette had entered into an agreement to rent space without the knowledge or the consent of Davidson Masonry.

Based on this, Davidson Masonry is bound on the contract that Lafayette enters based on the principles of joint venture as both the members will be held liable for the agreement concerning the warehouse space.
