Answer:

1. Accounts receivable due = Accounts receivable + Allowances

2008

= 760,100 + 26,259

= $786,359

2009

= 840,810 + 23,936

= $864,746

2. Amount of receivable written off = Beginning balance for Allowance for doubtful accounts + Bad debt - Closing balance for allowance for doubtful accounts

= 9,200 + 3,400 - 9,148

= $3,452

3. Gross sales = Net Sales + Sales returns

Sales Returns = Closing balance for reserve for product returns + goods returned - Opening balance for reserve for product returns

= 14,788 + 3,440 - 17,059

= $1,169

Gross sales in 2009 = 6,244,800 + 1,169

= $‭6,245,969‬

4. Cash collected = Credit Sales - Goods returned - Bad debts written off - Ending receivables balance + Beginning receivables balance

= ‭6,245,969‬ - 3,440 - 3,452 - 864,746 + 786,359

= $‭6,160,690‬

Kremena's bank account earns 4.5% simple interest. How much must she deposit in the account today if she wants it to be worth $1

12345 [234]

Answer:

$1,101.32

Explanation:

Simple interest accounts balances are calculated using the following formula

A = P ( 1 + rt)

where:

A = final account balance

P = starting balance

r = interest rate (annually) percentage divided by 100

t = years

Therefore, we can plug in the values provided in this formula and solve for P which would be the amount that Kremena needs to deposit.

1,250 = P ( 1 + (0.045 * 3))

1,250 = P * 1.135 ... divide both sides by 1.135

1,101.32 = P

Finally, we can see that Kremena would need to deposit a total of $1,101.32 to have the amount that she wants after 3 years.

Metroplex Corporation will pay a $2.50 per share dividend next year. The company pledges to increase its dividend by 4.70 percen

postnew [5]

Answer: $27.47

Explanation:

Given: Growth rate = 4.70% per year = 0.0470 per year

Dividend of next year = $2.50

Expected rate of return on Stock = 13.80% =0.1380

Current price = (Dividend of next year ) ÷ (Expected rate - Growth rate)

= (2.50)÷ (0.1380-0.0470)

= (2.50) ÷ (0.091)

≈ $27.47

Hence, you will pay $27.47 for the company's stock today.

<h3>What Is the Security Market Line?</h3>

The security market line (SML) is a line drawn on a chart that serves as a graphical representation of the capital asset pricing model (CAPM)—which shows different levels of systematic, or market risk, of various marketable securities, plotted against the expected return of the entire market at any given time.

Its Also known as the "characteristic line," the SML is a visualization of the CAPM, where the x-axis of the chart represents risk (in terms of beta), and the y-axis of the chart represents expected return. The market risk premium of a given security is determined by where it is plotted on the chart relative to the SML

The formula for plotting the SML is:

Required return = risk-free rate of return + beta (market return - risk-free rate of return)

Lawrence Industries' most recent annual dividend was $1.80 per share (D0equals$ 1.80), and the firm's required return is 11

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

The price of the stock today is $34.13

Explanation:

The price of the stock that grows at two different growth rates can be calculated using the two stage growth model of DDM. The DDM requires to discount back the dividends to calculate the price of the share today.

The price of the stock today is,

P0 = D1 / (1+r) + D2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + Dn / (1+r)^n + [(Dn * (1+g) / (r - g)) / (1+r)^n]

P0 = 1.8 * (1+0.08) / (1+0.11) + 1.8 * (1+0.08)^2 / (1+0.11)^2 +

1.8 * (1+0.08)^3 / (1+0.11)^3 + [ (1.8 * (1+0.08)^3 *(1+0.05) / (0.11-0.05)) / (1+0.11)^3]

P0 = $34.127 rounded off to $34.13
