Answer:

Beranek Corp. should borrow $288,000 to achieve the target debt ratio.

Explanation:

40% of debt-to-asset ratio means that 40% of the assets should be Financed with debt and the remaining with equity. We have $720,000 worth of assets, simply multiply it with 40% and you will get the amount the needs to be borrowed.

If you have any queries about double entries of all this scenario, do leave a comment, I'll be pleased to help you.

Thank you!

On April 30, 2017, Tilton Products purchased machinery for $88,000. The useful life of this machinery is estimated at 8 years, w
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

$6,666.67 and $10,000

Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense for the year 2017 and 2018 is shown below:

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)  

= ($88,000 - $8,000) ÷ (8 years)  

= ($80,000) ÷ (8 years)  

= $10,000

Since the machinery is purchased on April 30 and we assume the books are closed on December 31 so the number of months calculated is 8 months

Therefore for the year 2017 the depreciation expense is

= $10,000 × 8 months ÷ 12 months

= $6,666.67

And, for the year 2018 the depreciation expense is same i.e $10,000

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Option (C) is correct

Explanation:

The payment is made during the discount period of 11 days so the 2% discount rate would be applicable.

Goods purchased =   $112,000

Goods returned = $2,200

Discount =   (Goods purchased - goods returned) × 2%

               = ($112,000 - $2,200) × 2%

               = $2,196

Net purchase = Goods purchased - returned - Discount

                       = $112,000 - $2,200 - $2,196

                       = $107,604

Total inventory cost = Net purchase + Freight cost

                                 = $107,604 + $400

                                 = $108,004

Therefore, company’s inventory increased by $108,004.

A car was purchased for $4500 down and payments of $375 at the end of each month for 5 years. Interest is 9.72% compounded month
agasfer [191]

Answer:

$21,080.2

Explanation:

The price of the car will be the down-payment plus the future value of 375 paid each month for 5 years compounded monthly at 9.72%.

The formula for calculating future value is

PV = P ×  1 − (1+r)−n

  r

PV is $350

r is 9.72 % or 0.0972 % per year or 0.0081

t is five year or 60 months

FV = 350 x (1-(1+0.0081)-60

  0.0081

Fv =350 x 1-0.61628715419

  0.0081

FV =350 x( 0.38371284581/0.00810

FV =350 x 47.371956

FV =16,580.20

The value of the car = $4500 + 16,580.20

=$21,080.2
