Answer:

6.53%      

Explanation:

For computing the after cost of debt we need to use the RATE formula i.e to be shown in attached spreadsheet. Kindly find it below:

Given that,  

Present value = $1,050.76

Future value or Face value = $1,000  

PMT = 1,000 × 10% = $100

NPER = 5 years

The formula is shown below:  

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)  

The present value come in negative  

So, after applying this above formula

1. The pretax cost of debt is 8.70

2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be

= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)

= 8.70% × ( 1 - 0.25)

= 6.53%

Mila [183]

Answer:

Inventory turnover

Explanation:

From the question we are informed Mayree who is the owner of Spines Books, a small eclectic-style bookstore in a bustling college town. Mayree prides herself in selecting hard-to-find books and magazines that her clientele enjoy. Recently, Mayree is experiencing a cash flow shortage, and she is concerned that she may be purchasing too many copies of each title. Having recently completed a business class, I can suggest to Mayree that she calculate the Inventory turnover ratio for her store, and then compare it to other stores in her industry. Inventory turnover can be regarded as rate at which particular company make sales of it's stock of goods and make replacement of its stock of goods during a particular period.

The inventory turnover ratio can be regarded as formula which is cost of goods that is been sold divided by average inventory within the same period.

Mathematically,

inventory turnover=[Net sales/ Average inventory at particular selling price]

During the months of January and February, Hancock Corporation sold goods to three customers. The sequence of events was as foll
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

Net Sales                         $2720

Explanation:

Hancock Corporation

    Jan 6:   Sales                      $ 1500

Add Jan 6    Sales                      $ 850

Less Jan 14   Sales Discount     $ 30 ( 2% of $ 1500)

<u>Add Feb 28:   Sales                   $ 400</u>

<u>Net Sales                                  $2720 </u>

Only a 2% discount is given on the cash received on Jan 14  on the sales made on JAn 6 to S. Green  because the cash is received within the first ten days of sales made. The cash received on Feb 2 is not given the sales discount as it is received after ten days of the sales made. That is sales were done on Jan 6 to M. Munoz.  with the terms 2/10, n/30 meaning discount will be given within the first ten days . But as the payment was on Feb 2 almost 17 days later the discount is not given.

The term 2/10 n/30 means a two percent discount will be given if sales were  paid within the first ten days. So a discount is given to S. Green but not M. Munoz as payment is done after 10 days.

jeyben [28]

Answer:

$26,125

Explanation:

[($25,000 x 0.005) x 9 + $25,000]

=$26,125

Zach owe $26,125 as of December 31, 2019 because he did not fail to file - he failed to pay. Hence he owes the 0.5% per month or part of a month failure to pay penalty plus the already outstanding tax amount of $25,000 that he owed.
