Answer:

The projects which maximize Vanguard's shareholder wealth are Project A; Project B; Project D.

Explanation:

Projects which maximize the shareholder value are projects delivering Expected Returns which are higher than its risk-adjusted weighted average cost of capital (WACC).

As a result, Project A with Expected return of 15% and risk adjusted WACC of 12%; Project B with Expected return of 12% and risk adjusted WACC of 10%; Project D with Expected return of 9% and risk adjusted WACC of 8%; are the projects that maximize the shareholder's value.

On the other hand, Project C with Expected return of 11% and risk adjusted WACC of 12% is harmful to shareholder value.

2014 ending inventory was overstated by $25,000, but it was too late to correct the financial statements. Which of the following
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

C. Net income and stockholders' equity are both overstated.

Explanation:

In the income statement , ending inventory is deducted from the addition of the beginning inventory and net purchases to arrive at the cost of goods sold. Therefore, the cost of goods can be stated as an equation stated as follows:

Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + Net purchases - Ending inventory

From the above equation, it can be observed that if the ending inventory is overstated, cost of goods sold will be understated by that amount.

Since gross income is determined by deducting cost of goods sold from the net sales, an understated cost of goods sold will result in an overstated gross income and subsequently overstated net income.

Since net income is one of the components of the stockholders' equity, an overstated net income will leads to an overstated stockholders' equity.

Therefore, the correct option is C. Net income and stockholders' equity are both overstated.

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

65%

Explanation:

Given that

Sales = $979,000

Variable manufacturing expense = $232,000

Variable selling and administrative expense = $110,650

The computation of contribution margin ratio is shown below:-

Contribution margin ratio = (Sales - Variable manufacturing expense - Variable selling and administrative expense) × 100 ÷ Sales

= ($979,000 - $232,000 - $110,650) × 100 ÷ $979,000

= ($979,000 - $342,650) × 100 ÷ $979,000

= $636,350 × 100 ÷ $979,000

= 65%

Sarah is using the needs approach to determine how much life insurance to buy. Her cash needs are $30,000; her income needs are
levacccp [35]

Answer:

$130,000

Explanation:

Sarah is making use of the needs approach to determine how much life insurance to buy

The first step is to calculate the total amount of life insurance

Total amount of life insurance = Total needs - total assets

Total need = income needs + cash needs + special needs

= $140,000 + $30,000 + $100,000

= $270,000

Total assets= retirement plan + bank account + investment account

= $30,000 + $20,000 + $40,000

= $90,000

Total amount of life insurance = $270,000-$90,000

= $180,000

Since Sarah is covered by $50,000 group insurance by her employer then the additional life insurance that should be purchased can be calculated as follows

= $180,000 - $50,000

= $130,000

Company Pea owns 90 percent of Company Essone which in turn owns 80 percent of Company Esstwo. Company Esstwo owns 100 percent o
ankoles [38]

Answer:

Company Pea

Consolidated financial statements should be prepared to report the financial status and results of operations for:

Essone - 90%

Esstwo = 72% (90% x 80%)

Essthree = 72% (90% x 80% x 100%)

Explanation:

Company Pea is described as the holding or parent company of Company Essone.  This means that Essone is Company Pea's subsidiary.  In preparing consolidated financial statements to report the financial status and results of operations for Company Essone, Company Pea will consolidate 100% of Company Essone while accounting for noncontrolling interest of 10% (effectively 90%).

When Company Essone is consolidating its financial statements, it should consolidate 80% of Company Esstwo while Esstwo consolidates 100% of Company Essthree.

But since Essthree is also a subsidiary of Company Pea, Company Pea will consolidate Esstwo and Essthree's financials to the tune of 72% respectively, while consolidating 90% of Essone's.
