Answer:

Projects E,F and G should NOT be considered.

Optimal Capital  is $5,750,000

Explanation:

The accept-or-reject rule, using the IRR method, is to acceptthe project if its Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is higher than theWeighted Average Cost of Capital(k) [r>k]. The project shall berejected if its internal rate of return is e lower than theWeighted Average Cost of Capital cost of (r<k)

                                 Accept if        r>k

                                 Reject if         r<k

                                   Mayaccept if r = k

If the Weighted Average Cost of Capitl (WACC) is less than IRRrate, then the project has positive NPV; if it is equal to IRR, theproject has a Zero NPV, and if it is greater than the IRR, theproject has negative NPV.

The projects should be accepted as the rate of return on theproject is higher than the WACC(10.8%) which means that theprojects will be profitable as the returns are higher than the costof the project (capital).  Considering this projects E,F and G should NOT be considered.

And considering the sizes the Optimal Capital  is $5,750,000 (the addition of sizes of all projects)

The shareholders' equity of Green Corporation includes $232,000 of $1 par common stock and $430,000 par of 7% cumulative preferr
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

$8,700

Explanation:

Dividends payable to preferred shareholders = [($430,000*7%)*2 - ($23,000*2)] + ($430,000*7%)

Dividends payable to preferred shareholders = [$60,200 - $46,000] + $30,100

Dividends payable to preferred shareholders = $14,200 + $30,100

Dividends payable to preferred shareholders = $44,300

Dividend available to common shareholders = Total dividend - Dividends payable to preferred shareholders

Dividend available to common shareholders = $53,000 - $44,300

Dividend available to common shareholders = $8,700

So, the amount of dividends common shareholders will receive in 2021 is $8,700.

A woman earned wages of ​$32 comma 000​, received ​$2600 in interest from a savings​ account, and contributed ​$3500 to a​ tax-d
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

1. Gross income = $34,600

2. Adjusted gross income = $31,100

3. Taxable income = $19,960

Explanation:

Given data;

Earned wages = $32,000

Interest received = $2600

Tax contribution = $3500

Personal exemption = $4050

Deductions = $7090

1. Gross income; All earnings before any tax payment or deductions

Gross income = $32,000 + $2600

                       =$34,600

2. Adjusted gross income:

The adjusted amount from the question is $3500,

Therefore,

Adjusted gross income = Gross income - adjusted amount

                                       = $34,600 - $3500

                                       = $31,100

3. Taxable income: It's calculated using the formula;

Taxable income = adjusted gross income - exemption + deductions

Substituting, we have;

Taxable income = $31,100 - ($4050+ $7090)

                           = $31,100 - $11,140

                          =$19,960
