Answer:

The answer is: D) continue flying until the lease expires and then drop the run.

Explanation:

Currently Cold Duck Airlines is losing money:

  • revenue < total costs

It only gets $1,000 in revenue per flight but spends $1,150 per flight (net loss of $150 per flight).

They should continue flying only until the lease contract expires. Usually lease contracts apply penalties if they are terminated early. We don't know the penalty amount but still it is never good to breach a contract.

in times of rising prices, cost of goods sold determined using the lifo inventory assumption typically will be than cost of good
LenKa [72]

When prices are rising, the Cost of Goods Sold according to LIFO will be <u>higher </u>than cost of goods sold under FIFO.

Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) refers to a company selling off the latest inventory that it receives first before the inventory it received earlier.

When prices are rising, LIFO will result in a higher COGS because:

  • Purchases will be high
  • Closing stock will be low on account of only the earlier cheaper inventory being left

In conclusion, LIFO results in cost of goods sold being higher because the closing stock which is deducted from COGS will be lower.

Closing entries
Nady [450]

Posting accounts to the post closing trial balance follows the exact same procedures as preparing the other trial balances. Each account balance is transferred from the ledger accounts to the trial balance. All accounts with debit balances are listed on the left column and all accounts with credit balances are listed on the right column.

The process is the same as the previous trial balances. Now the ledger accounts just have post closing entry totals.

An post closing trial balance is formatted the same as the other trial balances in the accounting cycle displaying in three columns: a column for account names, debits, and credits.

Since only balance sheet accounts are listed on this trial balance, they are presented in balance sheet order starting with assets, liabilities, and ending with equity.

As with the unadjusted and adjusted trial balances, both the debit and credit columns are calculated at the bottom of a trial balance. If these columns aren’t equal, the trial balance was prepared incorrectly or the closing entries weren’t transferred to the ledger accounts accurately.

As with all financial reports, trial balances are always prepared with a heading. Typically, the heading consists of three lines containing the company name, name of the trial balance, and date of the reporting period.

The post closing trial balance is a list of all accounts and their balances after the closing entries have been journalized and posted to the ledger. In other words, the post closing trial balance is a list of accounts or permanent accounts that still have balances after the closing entries have been made.

This accounts list is identical to the accounts presented on the balance sheet. This makes sense because all of the income statement accounts have been closed and no longer have a current balance. The purpose of preparing the post closing trial balance is verify that all temporary accounts have been closed properly and the total debits and credits in the accounting system equal after the closing entries have been made.

What is the price of a stock today if it pays a Dividend TODAY of $2. Its growth rate is 5%, and its market return is 12%?
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

$30.00  

Explanation:

The price of the stock can be derived from the stock theoretical price formula given and explained below:

stock price=expected dividend/(market return-growth rate)

expected dividend=dividend paid today*(1+growth rate)

expected dividend=$2*(1+5%)

expected dividend=$2.10

market rate of return=12%

growth rate=5%

stock price=$2.10/(12%-5%)

stock price=$2.10/7%

stock price=$30.00
