Answer:

(b) selecting and training new hires at the firm

Explanation:

Circular 230 requirement states that a practitioner must exercise due diligence in respect of those matters which relate to preparing, approving and filing tax returns or any other paper to Internal Revenue Services(IRS).

Due Diligence basically means to ensure that actions and information supplied are correct and not false.

So basically it extends to oral or written representations made to IRS or to a client in respect of matter which are administered by IRS.

Selecting and training new hires at the firm does not relate to IRS.

Fama’s Llamas has a weighted average cost of capital of 10.9 percent. The company’s cost of equity is 12 percent, and its pretax

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

0.2

Explanation:

The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is calculated as below:

WACC = (D/A) x r_D x (1-t) + (E/A) x r_E , where:

A: Market value of company asset;

D: Market value of company debt;

E: Market value of company equity;

r_D: pre-tax cost of debt;

r_E: cost of equity;

t: tax rate

Rearrange above formula a bit, we get:

WACC = (D/A) x r_D x (1-t) + (1 - D/A) x r_E

Putting all the numbers together, we have:

10.9% = (D/A) x 8.9% x (1 - 38%) + (1 - D/A) x 12%

Solve the equation, we get D/A = 17% or D/E = 0.2

So, target debt−equity ratio is 0.2

Inventory by Three Methods The units of an item available for sale during the year were as follows: Jan.1 Inventory 26 units at

Mila [183]

Answer:

a. $26,400

b. $20,520

c. $24,140.64

Explanation:

a. The computation of inventory cost by the first-in, first-out method is shown below:-

Inventory cost under first-in, first-out method = Number of units × Unit cost of 3rd purchase

= 48 × $550

= $26,400

b. The computation of inventory cost by the last-in, first-out method is shown below:-

Inventory cost by Last in first out method = (Jan 1 units × Jan 1 Inventory per unit) + (Number of units - Jan 1 units) × Feb. 19 Inventory per unit

= (26 × $400) + (48 - 26) × $460

= $10,400 + $10,120

= $20,520

c. The computation of inventory cost by the average cost method is shown below:-

Average cost per unit = (26 × $400) + (57 × $460) + (62 × $540) + (60 × $550)

= $10,400 + $26,220 + $33,480 + $33,000

= $103,100

Per unit cost = Inventory cost ÷ Total number of units

= $103,100 ÷ (26 + 57 + 62 + 60)

= $103,100 ÷ 205

= $502.93

Inventory cost under average cost method = Per unit cost × Number of units

= 48 × $502.93

= $24,140.64

Therefore we have applied the formulas.

The Company deposits $6,900 in an account that earns interest at an annual rate of 8%, compounded quarterly. The $6,900 plus ear

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

$8750.87

Explanation:

This is compound interest problem. The formula used to solve this would be:

$F=P(1+r)^t$

Where

F is the future value (what we want, after 3 years)

P is the initial value (given 6900)

r is the rate of interest per period

here, 8% per year, so 8/4 = 2% per period (since compounded per quarter)

t is the time (3 years and compounding per year so times of compounding is 3*4 = 12), so t = 12

Substituting, we get our answer:

$F=P(1+r)^t\\F=6900(1+0.02)^{12}\\F=6900(1.02)^{12}\\F=8750.87$

<u>There will be about $8750.87 at the account at the end of 3 years!</u>
