Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": the government passes a universal tax credit to stimulate consumer spending during an economic downturn.

Explanation:

Fiscal policy refers to the collective governmental decisions concerning taxation and spending of a nation. The term fiscal policy is identified with the British economist John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946) who claimed that governments could control rates of macroeconomic growth by doing things like <em>raising the rate of employment, battling inflation </em>and<em> flattening business cycles</em>.

Thus, <em>a governmental universal tax credit to boost consumption is likely to be taken care of a fiscal policy.</em>

Answer:

WACC = 0.18 or 18%

Option b is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure that can contain one or more of the following components, namely debt, preferred stock and common equity. The formula to calculate the WACC is as follows,

WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate)  +  wP * rP  +  wE * rE

Where,

  • w represents the weight of each component
  • D, P and E represents debt, preferred stock and common equity respectively
  • r represents the cost of each component
  • rD * (1-tax rate) represents the after tax cost of debt

WACC = 0.2 * 0.16   +   0.8 * 0.185

WACC = 0.18 or 18%

Break-even sales and sales to realize operating income For the current year ended March 31, Cosgrove Company expects fixed costs
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

a. 80,000 units

b. 95,000 units

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a.The anticipated break-even sales (units) is

As we know that

Break even point in units   = Total fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit

= $27,600,000 ÷  $345    

= 80,000 units

Where,

Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit

= $1,150 - $805    

= $345

b. The units for realize operating income is

Unit sales for target profit   = (Fixed expense + Target profit) ÷ Contribution margin per unit

= ($27,600,000 + $5,175,000) ÷ $345    

= $32,775,000 ÷ $345    

= 95,000 units

Accounts, Amounts, and Effects on the Accounting Equation:

Apr. 30 Assets increase (Cash +$876,000) = Liabilities increase(Promissory note payable (Commercial Bank) +$876,000) + Equity

June 6 Assets increase (Inventory +$98,000) = Liabilities increase (Accounts payable +$98,000) + Equity

July 15 Assets decrease (Cash -$98,000) = Liabilities decrease (Accounts payable -$98,000) + Equity

 

Aug. 31 Assets increase (Cash +$35,500) = Liabilities increase (Deferred Revenue +$35,500) + Equity

Dec. 31 Assets = Liabilities increase (Salary and wages payable +$63,000) + Equity decrease (Retained earnings (Salary and wages expenses) -$63,000)

Dec. 31 Assets = Liabilities increase (Interest payable +$49,640) + Equity decrease (Retained earnings (Interest Expense) -$49,640)

Dec. 31 Assets = Liabilities decrease (Deferred Revenue -$23,667) + Equity increase (Retained earnings (Security Service Revenue) +$23,667)

Cost of Debt KatyDid Clothes has a $150 million (face value) 30-year bond issue selling for 104 percent of par that carries a co
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

the annual pre-tax cost of debt is 10.56%

Explanation:

the beore-tax component cost of debt will be the actual market rate of the bonds, as they offer an interest rate of 11% but are selling at 104 points not at par thus, there is a difference between the rates.

We solve for the rate which makes the coupon and maturity 104

with excel or a financial calculator

PV of the coupon payment

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C 5.500 (100 x 11%/2)

time 60 (30 years x 2 payment per year)

rate <em>0.052787474</em>

5.5 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0527874736258532)^{-60} }{0.0527874736258532} = PV\\

PV $99.4338

PV of the maturity

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity   100.00

time   60.00

rate  <em>0.052787474</em>

\frac{100}{(1 + 0.0527874736258532)^{60} } = PV  

PV   4.57

<em><u>Adding both we should get 104 which is the amount the bonds is selling:</u></em>

PV coupon $99.4338 + PV maturity  $4.5662 = $104.0000

The rate is generated using goal seek or wiht a financial calculator.

This rate is a semiannual rate, so we multiply by 2 to get the annual cost of debt:

0.052787474 x 2 = 0.105574947

The cost of debt for the firm is 10.56%
