Answer:

10.67%

Explanation:

Gecko Company

Gecko = Expected Earnings growth rate = 8% annually

As there are no Capital gains tax, thus after Tax returns = Pretax returns

= 8%

Expected Dividend yield of Gordon = 5%

After tax returns = 5(1-.25)

=5(0.75)

= 3.75%

Assuming the pay out ratio = 100%

Gordon’s required pretax return = 8/ (1-.25)

=8/0.75

= 10.67%

At pretax return of 10.67% on Gordon the after tax returns on both the stocks are equal.

Alina [70]

Answer:

d. Debit Bad Debt Expense, $34,200; credit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, $34,200

Explanation:

allowance balance                           2,300 debit

estimated uncollectible accounts   31,900 credit

adjustment needed                         34,200 credit

We need to adjust the allowance to our estimated uncollectible account. Currently, it has 2,300 debit balance. We need to increase it to 31,900

If we think it in two steps:

We need to credit by 2,300 to have zero balance,

and then 31,900 to reach the expected uncollectible amount

in total a credit for 34,200 needs to be done

<u>The adjusting entry will be:</u>

bad debt expense                       34,200 debit

allowance for doubtful accounts                        34,200 credit

Alexxx [7]

This is incomplete because the question is missing, here is the missing question and options:

Which phase of team development does this situation describe?

A. Performing

B. Norming

C. Forming

D. Storming

The answer to this question is B. Norming

Explanation:

In team development, norming is the third stage in the process of creating a team and making its members work together. This stage occurs after members have known each other (forming) and had solved their problems (storming). Due to this, during this stage members are able to work together and there are clear roles, which facilitates communication and adaptation. This stage is the one described because roles have been defined "everyone is taking on leadership functions related to their roles" and it seems the integration after three months facilitates communication and changes "report back to the rest of the team and smoothly adjust the project plan."

If costs are 85% of sales (and profit is 15%), what is the amount of extra sales needed to equal $1,200 in profit from purchasin
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

$8,000

Explanation:

Given that

Profit = $1,200

Cost = 85% of sales

Profit = 15%

We know that

Sales = Cost + Profit

         = 85% + 15%

         = 100%

So sales percentage is 100%

Now we use the unitary method to find out the extra sales which would be

= Profit × sales percentage ÷ profit percentage

= $1,200 × 100% ÷ 15%

= $8,000
