Answer:
B
Explanation:
Asymmetric information is an instance of market failure.
It is when one party to a transaction possesses greater information or knowledge than the other party. e.g. when a seller possesses greater information than the buyer or when a buyer possesses greater information than the seller.
Individuals know when they have a more healthy lifestyle while their insurers might not be privy to such information due to privacy laws
In such a case Shawn's company cannot and should not give out a dividend.
Since the company has just raised money, is growing and profitable and it is becoming hard to keep up with demand, this is the best time for the company to reinvest its profits to:
1. Hire more people/Buy more product
2. Improve processes
3. Use the profits to invest in R&D
4. Use the profits to invest in marketing and promotion
5. Invest in providing better customer service
So no dividend should be given since it can hamper the growth of a young company. The money should be used to grow the company for now and in the future all shareholders can enjoy good dividends.
Answer:
C. $25,960
Explanation:
Cost of asset includes all the cost involved to acquire and install the asset. In simple term all the costs that are necessary to make the asset usable are capitalised and added to the cost of the asset.
In this question stamping machine has following cost which need to be capitalised.
Discounted Price = $24,000 x ( 100% - 3% ) = $24,000 x 97% = $23,280
Transportation cost = $550
Sales Tax = $1,680
Installation cost = $450
Total cost to be capitalized = $23,280 + $550 + $1,680 + $450 = $25,960
Routine Maintenance cost is the routine / period cost which incur every month, It is not necessary to make the asset usable and it is incurred after the asset is used.
We can compute this using the Annual depreciation charge
Use the formula:
depreciationcharge= (Co-Cn)i/[(1+i)^n-1)]
where
Co= initial amount= $100,000
Cn- value after n years= $0
n= life of account= 6
i= interest rate=10%
Sunstituting all the values, we will get,
depreciation charge = $12960.74
The bank will have to pay Sara shouppe $12960.74 for the investment of $100000 with 10% interest.
