Answer:

D. Has no effect on the Earnings Per Share for the Coming Year

Explanation:

The cash dividend declared and paid by ABC in January of the Current year represent dividend declared from the profitability of the previous year and as such it will have no effect on the calcuation of Earnings Per Share of the coming year. EPS is a measure to calculate the level of profitability of a company.

The formula for EPS

= (Net Income-Preferred Dividend)/ Weighted Average Shares Outstanding

A cash dividend on common stock only affects the determination of the Total/Weighted Average Common Shares Outsanding which is the denominator of the Formula for calculating Earnings Per Share. It is also important to state that the cash dividend that will affect the Total Average Common Shares is the the dividend declared for that year and not the previous year. Hence, the dividend of the previous year paid in January cannot affect the calculation of EPS for the coming year.

Concord Company sells many products. Gizmo is one of its popular items. Below is an analysis of the inventory purchases and sale
Nitella [24]

Answer:

the numbers are missing, so I looked for a similar question:

Purchases Sales Units Unit Cost Units Selling Price/Unit

3/1 Beginning inventory 100 $40

3/3 Purchase 60 $50

3/4 Sales 60 $80

3/10 Purchase 200 $55

3/16 Sales 70 $90

3/19 Sales 90 $90

3/25 Sales 60 $90

3/30 Purchase 40 $60

the requirements are:

calculate COGS and ending inventory under FIFO, LIFO and weighted average.

since this company uses the periodic inventory level we must first determine the total cost of goods available for sale:

3/1 Beginning inventory 100 $40

3/3 Purchase 60 $50

3/10 Purchase 200 $55

3/30 Purchase 40 $60

total goods available for sale = 400 units, at a total cost of $20,400

total units sold = 60 + 70 + 90 + 60 = 280 units

ending inventory  = 120 units

under FIFO:

ending inventory = (40 x $60) + (80 x $55) = $6,800

COGS = $20,400 - $6,800 = $13,600

under LIFO:

ending inventory = (100 x $40) + (20 x $50) = $5,000

COGS = $20,400 - $5,000 = $15,400

under weighted average:

ending inventory = ($20,400 / 400) x 120 = $6,120

COGS = $20,400 - $6,120 = $14,280

Answer: Option A

                                         

Explanation: In simple words, human capital refers to the economic value of an individual employee to the organisation in which he or she works as based on the skill sets and experience that he she possess.

    The economic value can be created using various tools like education, training, good health or loyalty etc. Human capital is considered as an intangible asset but is not recorded in the balance sheet of the company as it cannot be quantified.

However, it is considered as the most important asset because the effective use of other resources depends on the human capital of an organisation.

DaniilM [7]

Answer: is highly dependent upon a company's tax rate.

Explanation:

The after-tax cost of debt is defined as the net cost of debt that is determined by adjusting the gross cost of debt incurred for its tax benefits. The after-tax cost of debt

equals the pre-tax cost of debt which is then multiplied by (1 – tax rate).

The after-tax cost of debt is the cost of debt which is included while calculating the weighted average cost of capital and it has a greater effect on the cost of capital of a firm when there's an increase in the debt-equity ratio.

A Caterpillar tractor acquired on January 12 at a cost of $171,000 has an estimated useful life of 25 years. Assuming that it wi
Kay [80]

Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation of depreciation for each of the first two years by the straight-line method is shown below:-

Depreciation

= (Assets cost - Salvage value) ÷ Useful life

= ($171,000 - 0) ÷ 25

= $6,840

For First year = $6,840

For Second year = $6,840

It would be the same for the remaining useful life

b. The computation of depreciation for each of the first two years by the double-declining-balance method is shown below:-

First we have to determine the depreciation rate which is shown below:

= One ÷ useful life

= 1 ÷ 25

= 4%

Now the rate is double So, 8%

In year 1, the original cost is $171,000, so the depreciation is $13,680 after applying the 8% depreciation rate

And, in year 2, the ($171,000 - $13,680) × 8% = $12,585.60

Suppose the following transactions occur during the current year:
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:These transactions combines will increase the Gross Domestic Products by +2500

Explanation:

Gross domestic product is the Value of all goods and service produced within the boarders of the country over a period of time. Gross domestic product is measured in monetary terms. Gross domestic product can also be calculated as a total of all expenditures on goods and services in the economy.

we will now sow how these Transactions affect the gross domestic product

1. 50 cases of beer from a dutch distributor at $40 per case

When Dmitri (assuming he is in the United States) Purchases a 50 cases of beer abroad, Imports increase by $2000 ($40 x 50 cases)

Imports have a negative impact on the Gross domestic product, Therefore the Gross domestic product will decrease by $2000

-$2000 imports = -2000 Gross Domestic Product. ceteris pa

2.US Company sells 200 Transistors to a Spanish company at $15 per case

Exports increase Gross domestic product. When a US Company sells 200 transistors to a Spanish Company at a price of $15 per transistor, Exports will increase by $3000. When export increase Gross domestic product will also increase by -$3000 ceteris par

+$3000 export = + 3000 Gross Domestic Product.

3. Jake US Citizen pays $1500 for a laptop he orders from microell (a US company)

This transaction will increase Consumer's domestic consumption which is represent by a Variable denoted by C in the Consumption equation. When Jake pays $1500, Consumption increases by $1500 which also increases Gross domestic Product by $1500 ceteris pa

+$1500 Consumption = + $1500 Gross domestic product

Combined effect of these Transactions

Consumption + Investment + government spending + (export - import)= GDP

+$1500 + 0 + 0 + 0 + ($3000 - $2000) = + $2500        

These transactions combines will increase the Gross Domestic Products by +2500
