Green Melon Electronics Company's management plans to finance its operations with bank loans that will be repaid as soon as cash

is available. The company's management expects that it will take 60 days to manufacture and sell its products and 50 days to receive payment from its customers. Green Melon's CFO has told the rest of the management team that they should expect the length of the bank loans to be approximately 110 days.
Which of the following responses to the CFO's statement is most accurate?

a. The CFO is not taking into account the amount of time the company has to pay its suppliers. Generally, there is a certain length of time between the purchase of materials and labor and the payment of cash for them. The CFO can reduce the estimated length of the bank loan by this amount of time.
b. The CFO's approximation of the length of the bank loans should be accurate, because it will take 110 days for the company to manufacture, sell, and collect cash for its goods. All these things must occur for the company to be able to repay its loans from the bank.

Setting and implementing a credit policy is important for three main reasons:
1. It has a major effect on sales, it influences the amount of funds tied up in receivables, and it affects bad debt losses.
2. It has a minor effect on sales, it influences the amount of funds tied up in receivables, and it affects bad debt losses.

Answer: a. The CFO is not taking into account the amount of time the company has to pay its suppliers. Generally, there is a certain length of time between the purchase of materials and labor and the payment of cash for them. The CFO can reduce the estimated length of the bank loan by this amount of time.

1. It has a major effect on sales, it influences the amount of funds tied up in receivables, and it affects bad debt losses.

Explanation:

A. Since the company's management expects that it will take 60 days to manufacture and sell its products and 50 days to receive payment from its customers, while Green Melon's CFO informed the rest of the management team that they should expect the length of the bank loans to be approximately 110 days, then it can be inferred that the CFO is not taking into account the amount of time the company has to pay its suppliers.

2. Setting and implementing a credit policy is important because it has a major effect on sales, nfluences the amount of funds tied up in receivables, and it also affects bad debt losses.

Take It All Away has a cost of equity of 11.08 percent, a pretax cost of debt of 5.38 percent, and a tax rate of 39 percent. The
Kipish [7]

Answer:

8.43 %

Explanation:

Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WAAC) is the Cost of long term permanent sources of finance. We consider WACC on the Market Weight of sources of Finance.

WACC = ke × E/V + kd × D/V

where,

ke = cost of equity

    = 11.08 %

E/V = Market Weight of Equity

      = 100 % - 34 %

      = 0.66

kd = cost of debt

    = interest × ( 1 - tax rate)

    = 5.38 % × (1 - 0.39)

    = 3.2818 %

D/V = Market Weight of Debt

      = 0.34

Therefore,

WACC = 11.08 % × 0.66 + 3.2818 % × 0.34

           = 8.43 %

Amble, Inc. exchanged a truck with a carrying amount of $12,000 and a fair value of $20,000 for a truck and $5,000 cash. The fai
katrin [286]

Answer & Explanation:

The fair value of our asset is $20000 and what we receive is a truck with $15000 market value and $5000 cash. So the transaction possesses commercial substance as the fair value and value received are same.

So assume if the transaction lacks the commercial substance (according to question) then the truck received must be recorded at fair value and must be offset against the truck which is exchanged for. The entry would be:

Dr Truck received @ Fair Value $15000

Cr                     Truck Sold                      $12000

Cr                     Profit on Disposal           $8000

The above entry makes it clear that the entry to recognize the truck would be $15000. So the option D is correct.

melisa1 [442]

Answer: 1. A - Describe how the individual pursuit of self-interest works to promote the interest of the public as a whole

2. A- Both Adam Smith and Karl Marx believed that humans are motivated by self-interest

Explanation:

1. According to Adam Smith who is known as the father of modern economics stated in his thesis that individual's self-interest and freedom of production as well as consumption is in the best interest of the society as a whole.

Each Individual's free exchange creates signals about which goods and services are valuable. These signals will spontaneously direct competing consumers, producers, distributors, and intermediaries—each pursuing their individual plans— to fulfill the needs and desires of others.

Smith’s invisible hand became one of the primary justifications for an economic system of free market capitalism.

2. Pairing that best describes Adam Smith's view of human motivation in a market economy and Karl Marx's view of human motivation in a communist economy: Both Adam Smith and Karl Marx believed that humans are motivated by self-interest as they both believe that the economy is a capitalist economy that all its good and services are in the hands of private individuals.

solniwko [45]

Answer: $3.91

Explanation:

The following information can be gotten from the question:

S = Current stock price = $33

C = Call Price = $2.25

K = Exercise Price = $35

e = 2.71

Rf = Risk free rate = 4% = 0.04

T = Time = = 90 days = 90/365

Put Price will now be calculated as:

= C - S + K × e^(-rt)

= 2.25 - 33 + 35 × 2.71^(-0.04 × 90/365)

= $3.91
