Answer:

21%

Explanation:

We can calculate the expected return of a firm by add dividend yield and growth rate but in this question, the growth rate is not given therefore we will find growth rate first with the available data

DATA

Payout ratio = 0.4

Return on equity = 25%

Dividend yield = 6%

Solution

Growth rate = Return on equity x retention ratio

Growth rate = Return on equity x (1 - payout ratio)

Growth rate = 25% x (1-0.4)

Growth rate = 25% x 0.6

Growth rate = 15%

Expected return = Dividend yield + growth rate

Expected return = 6% + 15%

Expected return = 21%

Time lags associated with policy decision making and implementation suggest that______.a.increases in spending to fight a recess

arlik [135]

Answer:

B) increases in spending to fight a recessionary gap may occur too late.

Explanation:

Time lags refers to the time that passes between making a decision and implementing the decision. For example, the FED announces its intention to increase or decrease their interest rate with a lot of anticipation, and sometimes it would be better if they just did it.

Politicians are famous for talking a lot and doing very little, and that happens in every country in the world. During recessions words aren't needed, actions are needed. The problem is that many times words are abundant and actions are scarce. A small problem that is not dealt swiftly and properly can become a huge problem.

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

His tax liability for 2019 (due April 2020) is $23,359.50

Explanation:

Since Robert s a single filer, he falls under the fourth tax bracket: income between $84,201 to $160,725. His marginal tax rate is 24%, and his total taxes due are as following:

tax rate earnings taxes due

10% $0 – $9,875 $987,50

12% $9,875 – $40,125 $3,630

22% $40,126 – $85,525 $9,988

24% $85,526 – $122,000 $8,754

Babcock Company purchased a piece of machinery for $36,000 on January 1, 2019, and has been depreciating the machine using the s

pogonyaev

Answer:

Requirement 1:

Dr Accumulated Depreciation $9,600

Cr Retained Earnings Account $9,600

Requirement 2:

Dr Depreciation Expense $6,000

Cr Accumulated Depreciation $6,000

Explanation:

Year Remaining Life of machine Depreciation fraction

1 5 5/15

2 4 4/15

3 3 3/15

4 2 2/15

5 1 1/15

Total 15

Now here, the depreciation formula is as under:

Depreciation expense = (Cost - Salvage Value) * Fraction value

Year 2019:

The sum of years digit fraction would be 5/15 and the cost of the machinery is $36,000. So

Depreciation Expense = ($36,000 - 0) * 5/15 = $12,000

Year 2020:

The sum of years digit fraction would be 5/15 and the cost of the machinery is $36,000. So

Depreciation Expense = ($36,000 - 0) * 4/15 = $9,600

Year 2021:

Now in this year the there is change in estimate and a switch in the use of the depreciation method, which is now straight line method. The change in estimate only includes the useful life of the asset which is 6 years from the date of purchase.

So for straight-line depreciation:

Depreciation Expense = (Cost - Salvage Value) / Useful Life

By simply putting values, we have:

Depreciation Expense = $36,000 / 6 years = $6,000 per year

So this means, according to change in accounting policy, the excess depreciation charged must be eliminated from the previous years. The depreciation charge for the previous 2 years must be $12,000 and the excess depreciation charge is calculated as under:

Carrying value of the asset = $21,600 - $12,000 = $9,600

Requirement 1:

The double entry according to the US GAAP, for the excess depreciation charge in the previous years would be the waiving off of retained earnings with the excess depreciation amount calculated above.

Dr Accumulated Depreciation $9,600

Cr Retained Earnings Account $9,600

Requirement 2:

The depreciation expense for the year 2021, would be recorded as under:

Dr Depreciation Expense $6,000

Cr Accumulated Depreciation $6,000

The Nacho Division of the Tex-Mex Company has a return on investment (ROI) of 12%, sales of $217,000, and an asset turnover of 4

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer: Nacho's operating income= b. $6,510.

Explanation:

First, we calculate the Total Asset of the Divison.

Asset turnover = Sales/ Total Assets

Total Assets = Sales/ Asset turnover

= $217,000/ 4

Asset turnover=$54,250

Also Return on investment = Operating Income/ Total Assets

Therefore Operating Income=Return on investment x Total Assets

= 12% X 54,250

=$6,510
