Answer: Option (C) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
Issued stock = $54,000
Borrowed from bank = $32,000
Provided consulting services = $52,000
Paid back bank loan = $22,000
Paid rent expense = $12,500
Purchased equipment = $19,000
Paid dividend = $3700
Salaries paid = $28,000
Ending notes payable balance = Borrowings from bank - Repayments
= $32,000 - $22,000
= $10,000
Answer: a. $485
b. $15
c. 32.28%
Explanation:
a. how much will Jill save by paying within the discount period?
3% × $500 = 3/100 × $500 = 0.03 × $500 = $15
The amount saved will be:
= $500 - $15.
= $485
b) what will it cost Jill to retain the use of credit for 45 days?
This will be:
= 3% × $500
= 3/100 × $500
= 0.03 × $500
= $15
c) what is the annual interest rate of the "loan" (ie. what is the annual rate of 3/10, net 45)?
c) The annual interest will be calculated using:
= P x R x T
where,
I = interest = $15
P = principal = $485
R= rate of interest = Unknown
T= time factor = 15/365 = 0.0958
Then, annual Interest rate will be:
R = 15/ (485 x 0.0958)
R = 32.28%
Annual Interest rate is 32.28%
Answer:
return = 20.81%
Explanation:
Capital Asset Pricing Model:
The capital asset pricing model (CAPM) is used to calculate the required rate of return for any risky asset.
Formula:
return = risk free + ( beta * ( market return-risk free ) )
where
beta is the standard deviation of the capital market line
Formula for standard deviation:
The standard deviation of the capital market line = x * standard deviation of market return
As Wal-Mart has an expected return of 14% and a volatility of 23%. The market portfolio has an expected return of 12% and a volatility of 16%.
Therefore by putting the values in the above formula, we get
0.23 = x * 0.16
x = 1.4375
As the risk-free rate is 5% and the market portfolio has an expected return of 12%
x = 5% + ( 1.4375 * ( 12% - 5% ) )
x = 20.81%
so return = 20.81%
Answer:
$2,058
Explanation:
the bonus when FIFO method is used = $50,490 x 20% = $10,098
the bonus when LIFO method is used = $40,200 x 20% = $8,040
the difference = $10,098 - $8,040 = $2,058
First in. first out (FIFO) method assigns cost of goods sold based on the price of the oldest units purchased, while last in, first out (LIFO) assigns cost of goods sold based on the price of the last units purchased. When the cost of merchandise increases during the year, FIFO method will result in lower COGS and higher net income.
