Universal Waste Disposal sold 1,350,000 shares of stock at $24.62 per share. The investment banker's commission was 5% of the va
lue of the stock. Accounting fees were $450,000, legal fees were $1,225,000, printing costs were $275,000, and other selling expenses were estimated to be $300,000. To the nearest dollar, what net proceeds did Universal Waste Disposal receive?
The proceeds that UWD received will be as follows: Number of shares 1,350,000 share price $24.62 Amount realized from the shares: 1,350,000×24.62 =33,237,000
Total amount to be deducted will be: (Commission+Accounting fees+legal fees+printing costs+selling expenses) commission=$1,661,850 Accounting fees=$450,000 legal fees=$1,225, 000 printing cost=$275,000 selling expenses=$300,000
The computation of the amount included in the natural resource is shown below:
= Cost of land & natural resource rights + cost of extraction during year + equipment used for mining + exploration & drilling cost
= $200,000 + $35,000 + $100,000 + $40,000
= $375,000
Hence, all the cost is inlcuded for natural resource except asset retirement obligation for restoring the land as this is not relevant so we ignored it
An investment that "promises" a 44 percent annual return is most likely a scam, because even the riskiest stocks rarely yield annual returns higher than 10% of the initial investment.
Besides, the option is described as very complicated, and you as a potential investor do not understand it well, which is a very difficult position to be in because it could even lead you to being scammed without realizing.
All liabilities involve a probable future sacrifice of economic benefits and arise as a result of past transactions or events.
A liability is a debt that a person or business has, typically in the form of money. Through the transmission of economic benefits like money, products, or services, liabilities are eventually satisfied. Assets and liabilities can be compared. Assets are items you own or owe money to; liabilities are things you owe money to or have borrowed. A liability is an unfulfilled or unpaid obligation owed by one party to another. A financial liability is an obligation in the world of accounting, but it is more specifically characterized by previous business transactions, events, sales, exchanges of goods or services, or anything else that will generate income in the future.
