Answer:
8.76%
Explanation:
Using the CAPM formula:
Ke = Rf + Beta Factor * Risk premium
Here
Rf is 5%,
Beta Factor is 1.6
And
Risk Premium is 6%
By putting values, we have:
Ke = 5% + 1.6 * 6%
Ke = 14.6%
Now we will find new firm's cost of equity under 40% debt by simply multiplying it with the equity percentage:
Weighted Cost of Equity = 14.6% * 60% = 8.76%
Answer:
- Dr Bad Debt expense 6,000
- Cr Allowance for Doubtful Accounts account 6,000
Explanation:
The total estimated bad debts are $4,800 (= $80,000 x 6%). So the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts account ending balance should be $4,800. Since this account is a contra asset account, the ending balance should be $4,800 credited.
But currently the account has a $1,200 debit balance (it's like -$1,200), so the adjustment record must be = $4,800 + $1,200 = $6,000
That way the ending balance = $6,000 - $1,200 = $4,800
The journal entries should be:
- Dr Bad Debt expense 6,000
- Cr Allowance for Doubtful Accounts account 6,000
Hope they did good on the semantic map
