guapka [62]

Answer: $85,000

Explanation:

Drawings are debited/deducted from the Equity account to reflect that the owner's holdings in the business has reduced.

Profit is added to the Equity account in the form of Retained Earnings.

The closing Balance on Equity is;

Closing Balance = Opening Balance + Profit - Drawings

Profit = Closing Balance - Opening Balance + Drawings

Profit = 175,000 - 120,000 + 30,000

Profit = $85,000

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

$1,900.35

Explanation:

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

The npv can be calculated using a financial calculator:

Cash flow in year 0 = -$32,400

Cash flow in year 1 = $9720

Cash flow in year 2 = $9720

Cash flow in year 3 = $9720

Cash flow in year 4 = $ 4,860

Cash flow in year 5 = $ 4,860

Cash flow in year 6 = $2,430

I =7%

NPV = $1,900.35

To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute

An issuer decides to call in an outstanding bond issue under the terms detailed in the bond resolution because interest rates ha
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

An optional Call

Explanation:

Callable Bond

Callable bond represents an instrument of debt where the issuer issues the instrument reserving the right to make a return of the principal of investors including the stoppage of interest payments before the date of maturity of the bond.

Organisations would usually issue bonds as callable when either to meet unexpected obligations like pay off other debts, fund expansions or when they sense that opportunities may arise in the future for them to get other forms of financing at lower interest rates.

For bonds to be callable the terms must be clearly stated in the bond's offering.

Optional Call

In optional call, the issuer reserves the right to call the bonds to take advantage of present circumstances such as significant drop in interest rates (as stated in the question). However, the terms detailed in the bond resolution will allow the bondholders to receive a premium to par as compensation for their loss of interest payments on the called bond.

Furthermore, a period of time must usually pass before the issuer can use the optional call.

Suppose that the market price for a bottle of vitamins is $2.54 and that at that price the total market quantity demanded is 105
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:please refer to the explanation section

Explanation:

The question is incomplete, The amount that each firm must produce is not given or the Quantity/demand equation that each firm faces is not given. We use a firm's quantity/demand equation to calculate how much each firm should produce and then work out the number of firms that should exist in the industry.

let us assume quantity produced by each firm is given by this equation;

Q = 1900 + 15000Price

We need to plug the Price of $2.54 per unit Vitamin Bottle to the quantity equation. Q = 1900 + 15000(2.54) = 40 000

each firm must produce 40 000 units

Number of firms that should exist = Total Market Quantity/Firms Quantity Number of firms that should exist = 1055 560 000/40 000

Number of firms that should exist = 26389

When the price is $2.54, with each firm Producing 40000 units, 26389 firms should exist in the market to cover the total Market Quantity of 1055 560 000.

The question may provide you with the Quantity that each firm must produce, in that case you simple divide total market quantity by the firm's quantity to find number of firm that should exist.

When you are given quantity equations you use the price to work out quantity produced by each firm and then Divide the Market Quantity by Firm's quantity to find number of firms that should exist
