A. True B. False

10. Retained earnings is the total amount of cash and other assets paid in to the corporation by stockholders in exchange for capital stock.

A. True B. False

Explanation:

1) Corporation management means that experts can be hired as managers.  On the other hand, the managers may not act in the best interest of the owners, even though, they are legally required to do so.

2) Limited liability of stockholders, government regulations, and additional taxes are the major disadvantages of a corporation.  Limited liability of stockholders may be a disadvantage to non-stockholders, but it is an advantage for stockholders, who will not be required to contribute more money to offset liabilities of the corporation in the event of liquidation.  Since corporations are distinct persons in law, they also need to be regulated and taxed as separate persons.  So, this is not a disadvantage.  It is only a consequence of being separate entity, like all individuals.

3) Organization costs include legal payments, state and federal registration, and incorporation fees, promotions, and charges associated with the underwriting of stocks and bonds. Organization costs can be classified as assets on the company's balance sheet.

4) A share in a company's stock accords some rights on the holder as itemized above.

5) The number of issued shares may be equal to or less than the authorized shares.  Some companies do not issue all the shares that they are authorized to issue at the same time.

6) Authorization of capital stock does not require a journal entry.  A memorandum record of the authorization is instead maintained to show the number of authorized capital shares and the par value.

7) There is no question 7.

8) Initial public offerings are made directly to investors.  The stock exchange market caters for the exchange of shares among investors.  The company is not involved and does not take any financial record, except the register of shareholders.

9) The market price of shares may be more or less than the par value.  The market price is determined by investors, who exchange shares at arm's length in the stock exchange market.  The par value is determined by those authorizing the issue of shares.

10) Retained Earnings are the income generated by the corporation which have not been distributed to shareholders in the form of dividends.

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

$34,590,000

Explanation:

Kenny incorporation is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in South park

The company purchased some lands six years ago $8.4 million

The land will net $11.2 million if sold today

The plant will cost $22.4 million to build

The site requires $990,000 worth of grading before construction

Therefore the proper cash flow can be calculated as follows

= opportunity costs + costs + upgradation

= $11,200,000 + $22,400,000 + $990,000

= $34,590,000

Hence the proper cash flow is $34,590,000

Turnbull Co. is considering a project that requires an initial investment of $270,000. The firm will raise the $270,000 in capit
svp [43]

Answer:

WACC = 11.45 %

Explanation:

Weighted average cost of capital is the average cost of all of the long-term types of finance used by a company weighted according to the that amount of finance used in relation to the total pool of fund

WACC = (Wd×Kd) + (We×Ke) + (Wp × Kp)

After-tax cost of debt = Before tax cost of debt× (1-tax rate)

Kd-After-tax cost of debt = 11.1%(1-0.4) =6.66%

Ke-Cost of equity = 14.7%

Kp= Cost of preferred stock = 12.2%

Wd-Weight of debt =100/270=0.370

We-Weight of equity = 140/270=0.518

Wp= weight of preferred stock = 30/270=0.111

WACC = (0.518× 14.7%) + (0.370 × 6.7%) + (0.111×12.2) =  11.447%

WACC = 11.45 %

Suppose a tax of $4 per unit is imposed on a good, and the tax causes the equilibrium quantity of the good to decrease from 2,00
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

option (c) $600

Explanation:

Given:

Tax = $4 per unit

Initial equilibrium quantity = 2,000 units

Final equilibrium quantity = 1,700 units

Decrease in consumer surplus = $3,000

Decrease in consumer surplus = $4,400

Now,

Deadweight Loss is calculated using the formula:

Deadweight loss

= \frac{1}{2} × Tax × (Original equilibrium quantity - New equilibrium quantity)

on substituting the respective values, we get

Deadweight loss = \frac{1}{2} × 4 × (2,000 - 1,700)

or

Deadweight loss =  2 × (3)  = $600

Hence,

the correct answer is option (c) $600

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

After tax salvage value $1,278,852.8‬

Explanation:

MARCS five years class:

after four years we will have depreicate:

0.2 + 0.32 + 0.192 + 0.1152 = 0,8272‬

(Data from the attached MACRS)

tax basis of the asset:

6,170,000 x ( 1 - 0.8272) = 1.066.176‬

We will be taxed for the difference between the basis and the salvage value:

1,370,000 - 1,066,176 = 303,824‬ taxable gain:

303,824 x 30% = 91,147.2

After tax salvage value:

salvage valeu - income tax expense

1,370,000 - 91,147.2 = 1,278,852.8‬
