<u>Answer: </u>

I would estimate the amount of compensation based on the statistical data relating to the loss that the airline companies are facing since 9/11.

<u>Explanation: </u>

  • The surplus that the airline companies were earning over their operational expenses was nothing else but the profit margin that the companies were earning from the business.
  • To devise the compensation to be given to the companies, calculating the surplus that they were earning from their operations would thus prove to be an intelligent solution.

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

$81, $75, and $69

a. Market value of existing shares = 215000 * $81 = $17415000

   Value of New shares issued = 48000 * $81 =        <u>$3888000</u>

                                                                                     <u>$21,303,000</u>

Price after issue of new shares = 21,303,000 / (215000 + 48000)

= 21,303,000 / 263,000

= $81

Conclusion: No changes ($0 per share

b. Market value of existing shares = 215000 * $81 = $17415000

   Value of New shares issued = 48000 * $75 =        <u>$3600000</u>

                                                                                     <u>$21015000</u>

Price after issue of new shares = 21015000 / (215000 + 48000)

= 21,015,000  / 263,000

= $79.90

Conclusion: There is a decrease in amount (81 - 79.90) = $1.10 per share

c. Market value of existing shares = 215000 * $81 = $17415000

   Value of New shares issued = 48000 * $69 =        <u>$3312000</u>

                                                                                     <u>$20,727,000</u>

Price after issue of new shares = 20,727,000 / (215000 + 48000)

= 20,727,000 / 263,000

= $78.81

Conclusion: There is a decrease in amount (81 - 78.81) = $2.19 Per share

On December 31, 2017, Ball Company leased a machine from Cook for a 10-year period, expiring December 30, 2027. Annual payments
puteri [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

A capital lease is a lease arrangement in which the lessor agrees to transfer the ownership of an asset to the lessee at the completion of the lease period. During the leasing contract , the lease is treated like an asset in the company's balance sheet

Lease liability at inception =                             676,000

Annual payment  made on December 2017 =(100,000)

Balance lease liability on 2017                        = 576,000

Lease liability on December 2018

Balance on 2017                                                =576,000

Factor in 10% discount on lease payment

100,000 - (576,000*10%)= 100,000-57,600 =   (42,400)

Balance on lease liability =                                  533,600

The current liability portion =

Factoring in the 10% discount =

100,000 - (533,600*10%) = 100,000 - 53,360 =  46,640
