A famous quarterback just signed a contract for $16 mil, providing $3.6 million a year for 4 years. A less famous receiver signe

Damm [24]

Answer:

The PV of the famous quarterback is $11,662,991.56, while the PV of less famous receiver is $12,719,159.63.

Explanation:

Present value (PV) refers to the valuation date value of a stream of income expected to be received in the future.

The PV for each of the two contracts can calculated by using the interest rate of 9%% (i.e. 0.12) as the discounting factor (r) to calculate the PV for each year. The discounting formula to use is (1+r)^n where n represents each relevant year. The calculations are done as follows:

1. For a famous quarterback

Step 1. Calculation of the PV for year

Year 1 PV = $3,600,000 ÷ (1.09)^1 = $3,302,752.29

Year 2 PV = $3,600,000 ÷ (1.09)^2 = $3,030,047.98

Year 3 PV = $3,600,000 ÷ (1.09)^3 = $2,779,860.53

Year 4 PV = $3,600,000 ÷ (1.09)^4 = $2,550,330.76

Step 2. Calculation of the total PV

This is obtained by adding the PVs of year 1 - 4 calculated above, and this is equal to $11,662,991.56.

2. For a less famous receiver

Step 1. Calculation of the PV for year

Year 1 PV = $3,000,000 ÷ (1.09)^1 = $2,752,293.58

Year 2 PV = $3,000,000 ÷ (1.09)^2 = $2,525,039.98

Year 3 PV = $3,000,000 ÷ (1.09)^3 = $2,316,550.44

Year 4 PV = $3,000,000 ÷ (1.09)^4 = $2,125,275.63

Step 2. Calculation of the total PV

This is obtained by adding the PVs of year 1 - 4 calculated above, and this is equal to $9,719,159.63.

In addition, the $3,000,000 is to receive now is added to the $9,719,159.63 as follows:

PV of less famous receiver = $9,719,159.63 + $3,000,000

= $12,719,159.63

Conclusion

Therefore, the PV of the famous quarterback is $11,662,991.56, while the PV of less famous receiver is $12,719,159.63.

The two characteristics of a competitive market are 1) many buyers and sellers in the market and 2) the goods offered by the var

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

1. True

2. False

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.

An example of perfect competition is the market for farm produce.

Kitty [74]

Answer:

In the restaurant business, self inspections can help you ensure that the food is always safe for your customers (better quality food) , lower the overall costs of the restaurant and helps to increase your reputation (a clean restaurant is always seen as a better restaurant).

Self inspection doesn't mean that the manager herself has to carry out the inspection, another employee can. Self inspection refers to making sure you comply with all regulations without having an inspector come and evaluate your restaurant. Self inspections will help the restaurant get higher inspection scores, and that was one of Brianna's major accomplishments.

Johnson Company calculates its allowance for uncollectible accounts as 10% of its ending balance in gross accounts receivable. T

Margaret [11]

Answer:

<em>Incomplete question is "2. What journal entry should Johnson record to recognize bad debt expense for 2021? 3. Assume Johnson made no other adjustment of the allowance for uncollectible accounts during 2021. Determine the amount of accounts receivable written off during 2021 4. If Johnson instead used the direct write-off method, what would bad debt expense be for 2021?"</em>

1. Gross accounts Receivable = Allowance Account balance at beginning / 10%

= $30,000 / 10%

= $300,000

2. Year Account Title Debit Credit

2021 Bad debt expense $105,000

($500,000*10% + $55,000)

To Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $105,000

3. Accounts receivable written off = Beginning balance of Allowance Account - Ending Balance of Allowance account

= $30,000 - (- $50,000)

= $30,000 + $50,000

= $80,000

4. Bad debt expense for 2021 (direct write off method) = Amount written off = $80,000
