Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
1, The cost of debt before tax is
Given that
NPER = 10%
PMT - $1,000 × 7% = $70
PV = $886
FV = $1,000
The formula is given below:
= RATE(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;TYPE)
After applying the above formula, the before tax cost of debt is 8.76%
2. The after tax cost of debt is
= 8.76% × (1 - 0.30)
= 6.13%
3. The total equity is
= $20 per share × 2million shares
= $40 million
4. The cost of equity is
= Risk free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - risk free rate)
= 4% + 1.2 × (9% - 4%)
= 10%
5. The weight of debt is
= ($886 × 20 ÷ $1,000 ) ÷ (886 × 20 ÷ $1,000 + $40)
= 30.70%
6. The WACC is
= Weight of debt × after tax cost of debt + weight of equity × cost of equity
= 30.70% × 6.13% + (1 - 0.3070) × 10%
= 8.81%
Answer:
Debit: Salaries and wages expense $25,056
Credit: Salaries and wages payable $25,056
<em>(To recognize the salaries and wages payable at year-end)</em>
Explanation:
Merando Industries employs a 5-day workweek - this means $41,760 normal weekly wages can be divided by 5 to arrive at the daily workweek wages, which is $41,760 / 5 = $8,352.
If the fiscal year-end is a Wednesday, the company has to recognize a salaries and wages payable of $25,056 due to the following:
- the workweek remains 2 weekdays to complete
- the company pays at the completion of the 5-day workweek
- there is no need to recognize the remaining 2 days next year as salaries and wages payable since the employer may not have control over the employees - they may decide the exit the company
So, the amount to be recognized will be $8,352 x 3 = $25,056.
Answer:
B.
Explanation:
Based on the information given that a large portion of sales occur at the last month of the year, a key audit concern or risk would be the revenue or sales cutoff. This concern is on the recognition of revenue in the appropriate period as most of the sales are recorded in the last month of the year. The risk exist that such sales are recognized to meet up with the yearly sales target of the organization. The performance of analytical procedure would not be effective as the results (trend) over the past 5 years have been similar. A test of internal controls at an interim date may also not be effective as there may be multiple level connivance to ensure that sales target are met. Also, the review of period end compensation of bonuses paid may not address the identified risk as such option B which deals with revenue recognition is the most appropriate option.
Answer with explanation:
It is better for companies to offer a mixture of compensation programs instead of only one since it attracts a major number of competent workers. Some employees might be very selective at the time of choosing a job according to the benefits they could receive. For instance, a high executive could prefer to start working in an "A" firm since they organization offers an attractive number of stock shares per year as part of the compensation program instead of working for firm "B" that is not even publicly listed.
