Answer:

d. return on a perpetuity

Explanation:

Two types of stock are common and preferred. Preferred stockholders do not have voting rights but they have a higher claim to earnings and assets as compared to the common stockholders. In the case of preferred stock, a fixed annual dividend is obtained forever. So, the cost of preferred stock is computed the same as the return on a perpetuity

In 2018, preferred shareholders elected to convert 4.58 million shares of preferred stock ($39 million book value) into common s

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

The answer is given below;

Explanation:

Preferred Stock Dr.$39,000,000

Common Stock Cr.$33,000,000

Paid in capital in excess of par-Common stock (39,000,000-33,000,000) Cr.$6,000,000

As the book value of preferred stock is greater than the price paid at the time of conversion into common stock,therefore excess amount is paid in capital in excess of par for common stocks.As the preferred stock is reduced by their book value,therefore it is debited and common stock is credited with its cost.

An airport needs a modern material handling system for facilitating access to and from a busy maintenance hangar. A second-hand

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The second hand machine should be chosen given that the NPV value is lower than that of the new system

Explanation:

cost of second hand system = $75,000

cost of new system = $150,000

New system can decrease labor hours by 20%

number of useful life ( for both systems ) = 5 years

market value of second hand system after 5 years = $20,000

market value of new system after 5 years = $50,000

Second hand system can operate for 8 hours/day for 20 days = 8*20 = 160 hours per month = 1920 hours per year

labor cost = $40 per hour

MARR = 1% per month

<u> Determine the system that should be recommended</u>

we have to calculate the NPV for both options

for Option 1 ( second hand system )

labor cost = 40 * 1920 = $76800

cost of purchase = $75,000

MARR = 12% p.a.

residual value = $20000

First step : calculate the PV of maintenance cost = $76800× PVAF(12%, 5 years) = $276864

Next : calculate the PV of residual value =$20000× PVF(12%, 5th year)

= $11340

NPV = (75000 + 276864 - 11340 ) = $340,524

for Option 2 ( New Machine )

Labor cost = ( 1920 × 0.8 )hours ×40 = $61440

cost of machine = $150000

Pv of labor cost = 61440×3.605 = $221491.20

Residual value = $50,000

Hence ; PV of residual value = 50000 × 0.567 = $28350

Finally calculate the NPV = (150000+221491.20-28350) = $343,141.20

Free Spirit Industries Inc.’s current ratio is 1.3333, and tis quick ratio is 0.7467; Jong Foodstuffs Inc.’s current ratio is 1.

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

1. Jong Foodstuffs Inc. has a better ability to meet its short-term liabilities that Free Spirit. - TRUE

2. A current ratio of 1 indicates that the book value of the company’s current assets is equal to the book value of its current liabilities. - TRUE

3. If a company has a quick ratio of less than 1 but a current ratio of more than 1 and if the difference between the two ratios is large, then the company depends heavily on the sale of its inventory to meet its short-term obligations. - TRUE

4. Compared to Free Spirit, Jong Foodstuffs has less liquidity and a lower reliance on outside cash flow to finance its short-term obligations. FALSE

5. An increase in the current ratio over time always means that the company’s liquidity position is improving. FALSE

Explanation:

Current Ratio = Current Asset / Current Liabilities

Quick Ratio = (Current Assets – Inventories) / Current Liabilities

The Current Ratio is a liquidity measure that shows the ratio between current asset and current liabilities. It tells how many dollars of the current asset are per dollar of current debts, that gives an idea of the company`s ability to perform its debts.

The Quick Ratio is also a liquidity indicator, but using its most liquid assets, to pay its current liabilities at maturity. The inventory, although it is a current asset, is not considered, since it cannot be converted into cash in a very short term.

The difference between the Quick Ratio and the Current Ratio, implies that while both are measures of the company's ability to pay its debts, the quick ratio also tells how much the company depends on its inventory to get that objective.

As both ratios are bigger in Jong Foodstuffs Inc.’s case, statement 1 is True and statement 4 is False. Because how ratios are calculated, and the meaning of its terms, statement 2 and 3 are True. And because an increased in current ratio, may implicate a rise in inventory, and therefore a decreased in quick ratio, statement 4 is False.
