Select one:
a. $25,375.
b. $29,125.
c. $40,875.
d. $18,125.
Answer:
$25,375
Explanation:
The After-Closing Trial Balance is prepared once the closing entries are posted. This results in closing of expense and income accounts for the year and the resulting balance taken forward to retained earnings. This means that After-Closing Trial Balance would contain only permanent general accounts which are balance sheet items. In the given scenario, the balance sheet debit balances are as under:
Cash                                                $7,750
Accounts Receivable                     $6,375
Office Equipment                           <u>$11,250 </u>
Total Debit Balance                      <u>$25,375</u>
Hence the option A is correct.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
correct option is b. $167
Explanation:
given data 
free cash flow FCF 1 = -$10 million
t = 1
free cash flow FCF 2= $20 million 
t = 2 
FCF grow rate = 4% 
average cost of capital = 14%
to find out 
what is the firm's value of operations
solution
first we get here firm value in year 2 that is express as 
firm value in year 2 = expected FCF in 3 ÷ (cost of capital - growth)    .........1
put here value 
firm value in year 2 = 
firm value in year 2 = 208 million
and 
firm value of operation this year will be as
firm value = discounted value in year 2 + discounted FCF1 and FCF2     .............2
firm value = 
firm value = 166.67 = 167 million
so correct option is b. $167
