Answer:

Assets understated by $510,000, liabilities understated by $153,000 and shareholders' equity understated by $357,000.

Explanation:

An understatement of closing inventory will have the following effects,

First of all the inventory as an asset is understated by $510,000

Second, this inventory was subject to deduction from the Cost of goods sold as, Cost of goods sold = Opening Inventory + Purchases - Closing Inventory.

Since this amount was not subtracted from the CGS, the gross profit and ultimately the Net profits were understated by $510,000.

This will be added in the net profits.

With an increase in net profits, the tax payable amount also increases. This is calculated as 510,000 * 0.30 = $153,000

So total change in profits is = 510,000 - 153,000 = $357,000

While $153,000 is still payable and is recorded as a tax payable liability.

Thus,

Assets understated by $510,000

Liabilities Understated by $153,000 (tax payable)

Share holders equity understated by $357,000 (part of retained profits)

Hope that helps.

In addition to telling readers why an illustration is important, why else should you refer to it in the text of your document?
Bumek [7]

Answer:

To assist the readers to relate objects and actions with texts.

Explanation:

Aside from telling readers why an illustration is important, the other reason you should refer to it in the text of your document is "to assist the readers to relate objects and actions with texts."

This is evident in the fact that illustration in a text is a means of presenting a graphical representation of ideas, processes, or theories to aid or give elaborate meaning to what is written.

Reethika is in a meeting and has an important question. The only coworker who can answer the question is in a different meeting.
Savatey [412]

Answer:

In the following situation:

Reethika is in a meeting and has an important question. The only coworker who can answer the question is in a different meeting.

The only way Reethika can get the answer without disturbing either meeting is:

Sending a direct text message to her co-worker's cellphone.  

Explanation:

First of all, she can't send someone to look for her because that would disturb both meetings. Also, if she calls her that is also going to disturb both meetings. The only way she has is to send an e-mail or an SMS to her co-worker. However, that depends on the effect people can take upon her. Nevertheless, text messages like e-mails, SMS, or direct messages don't have a high level of disturbance. Considering most people have their cellphones in silence mode.

XYZ, Inc. just paid an annual per share dividend of $3.50. Dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 3% per year from here on
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

P0 = $42.4117 rounded off to $41.41

Explanation:

Using the constant growth model of dividend discount model, we can calculate the price of the stock today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under this model is,

P0 = D0 * (1+g) / (r - g)

Where,

D0 is the dividend paid  recentl

D0 * (1+g) is dividend expected for the next period /year

g is the growth rate

r is the required rate of return or cost of equity

First we need to calculate the required rate of return on this stock using CAPM.

Using the CAPM, we can calculate the required rate of return on a stock. This is the minimum return required by the investors to invest in a stock based on its systematic risk, the market's risk premium and the risk free rate.

The formula for required rate of return under CAPM is,

r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)

Where,

rRF is the risk free rate

rpM is the market return

r = 0.025 + 2 * (0.07 - 0.025)

r = 0.115 or 11.5%

Using the constant growth of dividend formula,

P0 = 3.5 * (1+0.03)  /  (0.115 - 0.03)

P0 = $42.4117 rounded off to $41.41
