Answer:

The correct answer is option e.

Explanation:

In a perfectly competitive market, there are no limitations on the entry and exit of firms. If the existing firms have positive economic profits, this attracts other potential firms to join the market. In case of losses the firms incurring losses exit the market.  

If Dirk’s Doughnuts is operating in a perfectly competitive market and is incurring economic losses, firms having losses will exit the market.  

This will cause the market supply to decrease. As the supply curve shifts to the left, the price of the product will increase. This will cause profits to increase. The firms will operate at zero economic profits.

Carol and Dave each purchase 100 shares of stock of Burgundy, Inc., a publicly owned corporation, in July for $10,000 each. Caro
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

From the above information, we can deduce that the stock owned by Carol and Dave falls in value by $2,000 I.e ($10,000 - $8,000) ; it is to be noted that Carol solely has realised and recognized loss of $2,000.

Here, one of the cogent factors that determines whether a sale has taken place is if realization has been effected. Here, stock sold by Carol qualifies as a disposition while the decline in the value of stock sold by Dave does not qualify as disposition.

With regards to the foregoing, we can conclude that the federal income tax law treat the decline in the value of the stock differently for Carol and Dave.

April 30 - Assets (Cash at bank) are increased and Liabilities (Notes Payable) are increased with $814,000.

June 30 - Assets (Inventory) are increased and Liabilities (Accounts Payable) are increased with $93,000.

July 15 - Assets (Cash) are decreased and Liabilities (Accounts Payable) are decreased with $93,000.

Dec 31 - Liabilities (Interests Accrued) are increased and Equity (Retained Earnings) is decreased by $32,640 for accrued interests for 8 months.

Dec 31 - Liabilities (Deferred Revenue) are reduced and Equity (Retained Earnings) is increased by $22,000 for 4/6 months security service revenue received in advance and now adjusted based on the accruals concept.

Explanation:

Effect on Debt-to-Assets Ratio:

a) no change as assets and liabilities are increased by the same amount.

b) no change as assets and liabilities are increased by the same amount.

c) no change as assets and liabilities are decreased by the same amount.

d) no change as assets and liabilities are increased by the same amount.

e) debt-to-asset ratio is increased with unpaid wages.

f) debt-to-asset ratio is increased with accrued interests at 6% of $816,000 x 8/12 = $32,640.  The note was collected on April 30 with 8 months to year-end.

g) debt-to-asset ratio is decreased with the adjustment of security service received for 4 months out of 6 months based on the accruals concept.

For a firm, analysts project the following free cash flows during the next 3 years, after which FCF is expected to grow at a con
Llana [10]

Answer:

the three next cash flows are missing, so I looked for similar questions and found:

  • FCF1 = $20 million
  • FCF2 = $25 million
  • FCF3 = $30 million

in order to determine the company's value, we must first determine the horizon value in 3 years:

horizon value in year 3 = [$30 million x (1 + 5%)] / (11% - 5%) = $31.50 million / 6% = $525 million

the current value of the firm = $20/1.11 + $25/1.11² + $30/1.11² + $525/1.11³ = $18.02 + $20.29 + $21.94 + $383.88 = $444.13 million

the value of equity = $444.13 - $112.60 = $331.53 million

price per stock = $331.53 million / 25 million = $13.26 per stock
