Answer:

D) Inventory

Explanation:

In calculating the quick ratio only the most liquid assets of the firm are relevant.

The quick ratio is calculated as follows,

Quick ratio

= Cash + Marketable securities + Accounts receivables / Current Liabilities

Non-Liquid assets like the inventory that may take longer to liquidate depending on the market are not included as this ratio measures the emergency ability of a company to pay back its current liabilities.

Aluminum maker Alcoa has a beta of about 1.85​, whereas Hormel Foods has a beta of 0.39. If the expected excess return of the ma
Nady [450]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

As we know that

According to the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula

Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)

And, the market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return is also known as the market risk premium

As we can see that the Alcoa contains high beta as compared to Hormel Foods so the Alcoa has a higher equity cost of capital

And, the higher rate is

= (Excess return of the market) × (Alcoa beta - Hormel foods beta)

= (3%) × (1.85 - 0.39)

= 3% × 1.46

= 4.38%

You are given the following information for Watson Power Co. Assume the company’s tax rate is 24 percent. Debt: 14,000 6.3 perce
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

10.18%

Explanation:

The computation of the WACC is shown below:

But before that following calculation is to be done

The value of debt is

= 14000 × $1,000 × 107%

= $14,980,000

The value of equity is

= 470,000 × $65

= $30,550,000

The value of preferred stock is

= 20,500 × $86

= $1,763,000

Now

value of total capital is

= $14,980,000  + $30,550,000 + $1,763,000

= $47,293,000

Now we find the cost of debt using excel function i.e.

= RATE(nper,pmt,pv,fv)) × 2

= RATE(29 × 2,1000 × 6.3% ÷ 2,-1000 × 107%,1000)) ×2

= 5.80%

Now  

Cost of common stock is

= 5.2% + 1.16 × 7%

= 13.32%

cost of preferred stock is

= (100 × 4.1%) ÷ 86

= 4.77%

Now finally  

WACC = weight of debt × cost of debt ×(1 - tax rate) + weight of equity × cost of equity + weight of preferred stock ×cost of preferred stock

= ($14,980,000 ÷ $47,293,000) × 5.80% × (1  - 24%)+($30,550,000 ÷ $47,293,000) × 13.32% + ($1,763,000 ÷ $47,293,000) ×4.77%

= 10.18%

Sheridan Company acquired a plant asset at the beginning of Year 1. The asset has an estimated service life of 5 years. An emplo
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

A. The cost of asset being depreciated is $57,000

B.The amount of salvage value is $5,700

Explanation:

Among the above-mentioned methods of depreciation, the only method that never consider salvage value on its computation of depreciation expense is the double declining method. So let’s use this method to work back the exact amount depreciable amount of an asset.

Formula : 100% / life of an asset x 2

100% / 5 x 2 = 40%

Y1 = $22,800/40 = 57,000

so to check if the amount is correct, let’s do the computation of 5-year depreciation.

Y1 57,000 x 40% = 22,800 (same as the given data)

Y2 (57,000 - 22,800) x 40% =13,680

Y3 (57,000 - 22,800 - 13,680) x 40% = 8,208

Y4 (57,000-22,800 - 13,680 - 8,208) x 40% = 4,925

Y5 (57,000 -22,800 - 13,680 - 8,208 - 4,925) x 40% = 1,687* (adjusted based on the depreciable amount)

B. To compute the salvage value, we simply deduct the total depreciation from the cost of an asset.

57,000 - 51,300 = 5,700

To check:

(57,000 - 5,700) / 5 years = 10,260

A flood damaged several vans belonging to a nongovernmental, not-for-profit organization. A professional mechanic repaired the v
Westkost [7]

Answer:

b. As both an increase in the equipment account and an increase in contributions from donated services.

Explanation:

When the flood damages the vehicles there was a loss in the value of the organisation's equipment. The actor of restoring it to its previous state will require an addition to equipment account. So there will be an increase in equipment.

The services provided by the mechanic were free and will be recorded as a donated service. This is an increase in contributions from donated services.

There is no expense recorded as the services were performed for free.
