Answer:

The correct answer is 0.78%.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:

First we calculate the retained earning cost, then

Cost of retained earning = Dividend ÷ Price + Growth

= (1.925 × 70%) ÷ 15 + 6%

= 1.3475 ÷ 15 + 0.06

= 0.1498 or 14.98%

Now, Cost of equity = (Dividend ÷ Price (1 - Flotation cost ) + Growth

= (1.925 × 70% ) ÷ 15 (1 - 0.08) + 0.06

= (1.3475 ÷ 13.8 ) + 0.06

= 0.1576 or 15.76%

So, Exceed amount = 15.76% - 14.98% = 0.78%

Reika [66]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the amount is shown below:

a. For FOB destination

=  Merchandise price - Returns and allowances - discount

= $6,700 - $1,750 - ($6,700  - $1,750 )× 2%

= $6,700 - $1,750 - $99

= $4,851

b. For FOB shipping point

= Merchandise price - Returns and allowances - discount + Freight In

= $3,300 - $1,200 - ($3,300 - $1,200) × 1% + $200

= $3,300 - $1,200 - $21 + $200

= $2,279

RUDIKE [14]

Your economics training provides you with a terrific set of job skills, and in fact the economics major provides you with virtually all of the top ten most important job skills.

Economics are not restricted to one specific job category. Thus you have a wide variety of employment choices available to you. Because you have both quantitative as well as qualitative skills, however, it is natural to exploit your comparative advantage and find a position that utilizes both sides of your training.

The job market recognizes the special job skills that a major in economics provides. 80% of graduates in economics receive starting salaries in the range of $24,800-42,000 (

X Company purchased a patent on January 3, year 7 from Y Company for $145,000. An attorney drew up the contract between X &
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

The carrying value of the patent on X company on December 31 is $122,000

Explanation:

Computing the carrying value of the patent is as:

The total cost of the patent which will be recognized is as:

Total cost of patent = Purchased cost + Attorney value

where

Purchase cost is $145,000

Attorney cost will be divided into 2, so

Attorney cost = $15,000 / 2

= $7,500

So,

Total cost of patent = $145,000 + $7,500

Total cost of patent = $152,500

Now, amortize the patent over the useful life of patent as:

Amortize value = Patent cost / Useful life

Amortize value = $152,500 / 10

Amortize value = $15,250

But X held the patent for 2 years, so its accumulated amortization is:

Accumulated amortization = Amortize value × 2

= $15,250 × 2

Accumulated amortization  = $30,500

Now, the carrying value will be:

Carrying value = Total cost of patent - Accumulated depreciation

Carrying value = $152,500 -$30,500

Carrying value = $122,000

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

              Total market value of the bonds:  6,972.2

Explanation:

The "quote" will be the percent of the face value at which the title is currently  trading.

We will multiply each quoted by the face value to get the market value in dollars:

1,000 x  87.25/100     =     875.5

1,000 x 102.42/100    =   1,024.2

5,000 x 101.45/100    =   5,072.5

              Total             =  6,972.2

Why markets can only supply private goods efficiently?
kirill [66]
<span>Private good is a product and/or service produced by a private business and purchased to increase the utility and/or productivity of the buyer. The majority of the goods and services consumed in a market economy are private goods, and their prices are determined by the market forces of supply and demand. Private goods are both excludable and rivalrous, where excludability means that producers can prevent some people from consuming the good or service based on their ability or willingness to pay and rivalrous indicates that one person's use of a product reduces the amount available for use by another. In practice, private goods exist along a continuum of excludability and rivalry and can even show only one of these traits.</span>
