Which of the following is an advantage of a sole proprietorship?

1 answer:

7 0

B. Sole proprietorships are not very highly regulated, so they are easy to get started. Most forms of business are easy to expand if they succeed! Getting financing really depends on how likely the lenders think the business is to succeed, irrespective of format. The owner is directly liable for the debts of a sole proprietorship, but even if you incorporate, the bank is likely to want a personal guarantee of the owner for any debt of a new corporation, so it's pretty much the same deal. Taxes could be higher or lower, depending on how the business does and what other sources of income the proprietor has (like their day job!)

Laurel, Inc., and Hardy Corp. both have 6 percent coupon bonds outstanding, with semiannual interest payments, and both are curr

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

A. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage change in the price of these bonds?

Laurel, Inc. = -8.11%

Hardy Corp. = -18.91%

B. If interest rates were to suddenly fall by 2 percent instead, what would the percentage change in the price of these bonds be then?

Laurel, Inc. = +8.98%

Hardy Corp. = +25.49%

Explanation:

bonds with 6% semiannual coupons, sold at par $1,000

Laurel, Inc. bond maturity in 5 years

Hardy Corp. bond maturity in 18 years

the current price of a bond is the sum of the present value of its face value and coupons. I will use an annuity table to calculate PV of face value and an ordinary annuity table for the coupons:

Laurel, Inc.

market rate 4% = ($1,000 x 0.8203) + ($30 x 8.9826) = $820.30 + $269.48 = $1,089.78, % change = 89.78/1,000 = 8.98%

market rate 8% = ($1,000 x 0.6756) + ($30 x 8.1109) = $675.60 + $243.33 = $918.93, % change = -81.07/1,000 = -8.11%

Hardy Corp.

market rate 4% = ($1,000 x 0.4902) + ($30 x 25.489) = $490.20 + $764.67 = $1,254.87, % change = 254.87/1,000 = 25.49%

market rate 8% = ($1,000 x 0.2437) + ($30 x 18.908) = $243.70 + $567.24 = $810.94, % change = -189.06/1,000 = -18.91%

Lithium, Inc. is considering two mutually exclusive projects, A and B. Project A costs $95,000 and is expected to generate $

Flauer [41]

Answer: The internal rate of return for project A is $26,074.38

Explanation:

Using the formula

R1/(1+K)^1 R2/(1+K)^2+ - - - Rn/(1+K)^n -

C =0

Where C = capital outlay, K=Rate of interest, R=Net cash flow

Given that K=10%, (10/100)=0.1 R1=$65,000, R2=$75,000 C =$95,000

Project A

65,000/(1+0.1)^1 + 75,000/(1+0.1)^2 - 95,000

65,000/(1.1)^1 +75,000/(1.1)^2 - 95,000

59090.91 + 61983.47 - 95,000

121074.38 - 95000

= $26,074.38

Project B

R1=$64,000, R2=$67,000,R3=$56,000, R4=$45,000 C =$120,000

64,000/(1+0.1)^1+ 67,000/(1+0.1)^2+ 56,000/(1+0.1)^3 + 45,000/(1+0.1)^4 - 120,000

64,000/(1.1)^1 + 67,000/(1.1)^2 + 56,000/(1.1)^3 + 45,000/(1.1)^4 - 120,000

58181.82 + 55371.90 + 42073.63 + 30735.61 - 120,000

= 186362.96 - 120,000

= $66,362.96

Alamo Inc. had $300 million in taxable income for the current year. Alamo also had a decrease in deferred tax assets of $30 mill

scoray [572]

Answer:

$ 210 million

Explanation:

Data provided :

Taxable income for the current year = $ 300 million

Tax rate of the income = 40%

therefore, the income tax for the current year = 0.40 × $ 300 million

the income tax for the current year = $ 120 million

Decrease in the deferred tax assets = $ 30 million

Increase in the deferred tax liabilities = $ 60 million

Hence,

the total income tax expense for the year

= $ 120 million + $ 30 million + $ 60 million

= $ 210 million
