Answer:

Funding for the retraining of workers

Explanation:

Funding for the retraining of workers is a function internal to an organization that has to do with the retraining of workers towards a continuous profession development in upgrading and acquisition of new skills .

While other options in the question are under the regulation of the government, the funding for retraining of workers is left at the discretion of the employer or organization. This is why we have discrepancies in the approaches of different organization to this function.

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Purchases (in pounds)= 92,550

Total cost= $16,936,650

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Budgeted production:

2nd quarter= 248,000 units

3rd quarter= 60,500 units

Beginning inventory= 74,400 pounds

Each unit requires 0.60 pounds of raw material

Buying price= $183 per pound.

Desired ending inventory= 50% of next quarter’s budgeted materials.

To calculate the budgeted purchase of raw materials, we need to use the following formula:

Purchases= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Purchases (in pounds)= (248,000*0.6) + (60,500*0.6)*0.5 - 74,400

Purchases (in pounds)= 148,800 + 18,150 - 74,400

Purchases (in pounds)= 92,550

Total cost= 92,550*183= $16,936,650

Floyd Industries stock has a beta of 1.25. The company just paid a dividend of $.40, and the dividends are expected to grow at 5

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

5.62%

13.75%

Explanation:

According to the DDM method,

the value of a stock = [dividend x ( 1 + growth rate)] / [cost of equity - growth rate]

67 = 0.4(1.05) / r - 0.05

multiply both sides of the equation by r -0.05

67(r - 0.05) = 0.42

divide both sides of the equation by 67

r - 0.05 = 0.006269

r = 0.0563

= 5.63%

b. the cost of equity using the capm method =

risk free rate of return + beta x ( expected return - risk free return)

5% + 1.25 x (12 - 5) = 13.75%

Bose Company issued $600,000, 14 % bond on January 1

Tasya [4]

Answer:

1) If bonds are issued as 100 entry will be

Debit Credit

Cash 600,000

Bonds payable 600,000

2) If bonds are issued at 95

Debit Credit

Cash 570,000

Discount 30,000

Bonds payable 600,000

3) If bonds are issued at 105

Cash 630,000

Bonds payable 600,000

Premium 30,000

Debit Credit

Interest payable 42,000

Cash 42,000

Explanation:

1) If the bonds are issued at 100 then the company will receive the same amount of cash as the face value so they will receive 600,000 cash and will owe the bond buyers 600,000 so they will debit 600,000 cash and credit 600,000 bonds payable.

2) If bonds are issued at 95 then the company will receive cash 95% of 600,000 which is 570,000 so they will debit 570,000 cash, 30,000 will debited as discount and 600,000 bonds payable.

3) If bonds are issued at 105 then the company will receive cash 105% of 600,000 which is 630,000 so they will debit 630,000 cash and will credit 600,000 bonds payable and 30,000 as premium.

4) The bonds are issued on January 1 and there is a journal entry of interest payment at July 1 so we assume that the bond has semi annual payments.

14% of 600,000 is 84,000 and we will divide it by 2 to find the semi annual payment which will be 42,000, so we will debit interest payable by 42,000 and credit cash by 42,000.
