Answer:

15%

Explanation:

The maximum rate of return that would be paid to borrow an additional $4,000 needed can be calculated as

Rate of return =\frac{Amount of interest}{Amount borrowed}

Rate of return = $600/$4000

Rate of return = 0.15 or 15%

NOTE: The amount of interest is the difference of interest earned at higher yield and interest earned at a lower yield.

Interest earned (higher yield) = $10,000 x 8%

Interest earned (higher yield) = $800

Interest earned (lower yield) = $14,000 x 10%

Interest earned (lower yield) = $1,400

Difference = $1,400-$800

Difference = $600

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

Market rate of return on stock = 11.2152%

Explanation:

Details provided are

Market rate per share = $27.21

Dividend to be paid at year end = $1.80

Expected dividend growth rate = 4.6%

Expected return of market has to be calculated.

Using the dividend growth model we have,

Price\ of\ share\ = \frac{Dividend\ at\ year\ end}{Market\ return\ - Growth\ rate}

27.21 = \frac{1.80}{Rm - 4.6}

Market return - growth = \frac{1.8}{27.21} = 6.6152

Market return = 6.6152 + 4.6 = 11.2152%

Market rate of return on stock = 11.2152%

A catering company is producing at a point where its marginal costs are $25 and its fixed costs are $5000. At the current price
Kipish [7]

Answer:

The firm should shut down the production.

Explanation:

The given marginal costs = $25

Fixed cost of the production = $5000

The price of producing the 50 units of meals = $10

The new price of the meal when demand goes up = $20

Since it can be seen that the price of the meal is lower than the average cost or even it is less than the marginal cost. So, when the prices are lower than average cost then a firm should shut down the production because after shutting down the production the loss will be equal to the fixed cost only.

So, the firm should shut down the production.

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Debit : Bad Debts account : $2000 (appearing in the income statement)

Credit : Provision for doubtful debts account : $2000 (appearing in the balance sheet)

Explanation:

This is an example of provision for doubtful debts. Provision for doubtful debts is an estimated amount of bad debts from accounts receivables that has been issues but not yet collected. This is done under the accrual accounting concept where an expense is identified as soon as invoices have been issued rather than waiting long periods to find out which invoice is irrecoverable. It is typically an estimate based on past experience.

In this question, the sales value has not been provided, hence an assumption is made:

Sales : $200,000

If provision for doubtful debts is 1% of sales and all sales is on credit, then the provision for doubtful debts amount is = 1% x $200,000 = $2000

Provision for doubtful debts is an accounts receivable contra account and thus has a credit balance and is recorded in the balance sheet, listed directly under accounts receivables.

The entry is recorded as:

Debit : Bad Debts account : $2000 (appearing in the income statement)

Credit : Provision for doubtful debts account : $2000 (appearing in the balance sheet)
