(Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) What will next year's earnings be? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to the nearest whole number, e.g., 1,234,567.)

Answer:

(A) 9.6%

(B) 37,296,880

Explanation:

Current earnings for Bennington Enterprise is $34.03 million

The ROE is 12 percent

= 12/100

= 0.12

Retention ratio is 80 percent

= 80/100

= 0.8

(A) The firms earning growth rate can be calculated as follows

= 0.8× 0.12

= 0.096×100

= 9.6%

(B) Next year earnings can be calculated as follows

= 34,030,000 × (1+0.096)

= 34,030,000× 1.096

= 37,296,880

Goodwill is: Group of answer choices Amortized over the greater of its estimated life or forty years. Only recorded by the selle
Tems11 [23]

Explanation:

Goodwill in accounting is an intangible asset that arises when a buyer acquires an existing business. Goodwill represents assets that are not separately identifiable. Goodwill does not include identifiable assets that are capable of being separated or divided from the entity and sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged, either individually or together with a related contract, identifiable asset, or liability regardless of whether the entity intends to do so. Goodwill also does not include contractual or other legal rights regardless of whether those are transferable or separable from the entity or other rights and obligations. Goodwill is also only acquired through an acquisition; it cannot be self-created. Examples of identifiable assets that are goodwill include a company’s brand name, customer relationships, artistic intangible assets, and any patents or proprietary technology. The goodwill amounts to the excess of the "purchase consideration" (the money paid to purchase the asset or business) over the net value of the assets minus liabilities. It is classified as an intangible asset on the balance sheet, since it can neither be seen nor touched. Under US GAAP and IFRS, goodwill is never amortized, because it is considered to have an indefinite useful life. Instead, management is responsible for valuing goodwill every year and to determine if an impairment is required. If the fair market value goes below historical cost (what goodwill was purchased for), an impairment must be recorded to bring it down to its fair market value. However, an increase in the fair market value would not be accounted for in the financial statements. Private companies in the United States, however, may elect to amortize goodwill over a period of ten years or less under an accounting alternative from the Private Company Council of the FASB.

Lister Corporation has provided the following contribution format income statement. Assume that the following information is wit
g100num [7]

Answer:

(A) $420.00

Explanation:

We know that,

The net income = Sales - variable cost - fixed expense

Since, the sales units are increased by 40 units, so new sales units is 3,040 units

So, the sale per unit equals to

=  Total sales ÷ number of units

= $90,000 ÷ 3,000 units

= $30

So, the new sales

= Sales units × selling price per unit

= $3,040 × $30 = $91,200

The variable cost = Sales units × variable cost per unit

where,

Variable cost per unit =   Total variable cost ÷ number of units

= $58,500 ÷ 3,000 units

= $19.5

So, the new variable cost equals to

= 3,040 units × $19.5

= $59,280

And the fixed expense would remain the same

So, the net income would be equal to

= $91,200 - $59,280 -  $21,-00

= $10,920

The net income given is $10,500

So, the difference equals to

= $10,920 - $10,500

= $420

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

$1,042.04

Explanation:

to calculate the present value using a continuously compounded interest rate, we can use the following 2 formulas:

1) present value = cash flow / eⁿˣ

  • e = 2.71828
  • x = 5% / 2 = 2.5%
  • n = 10
  • cash flow = $1,030

present value = $1,030 / 2.71828¹⁰ˣ⁰°⁰²⁵ = $1,030 / 1.284 = $802.16

2) present value of an annuity = payment [(1 - e⁻ⁿˣ) / (eˣ - 1)]

  • payment = $30
  • x = 2.5%
  • n = 9
  • e = 2.71828

present value = $30 [(1 - 2.71828⁻⁹ˣ⁰°⁰²⁵) / (2.71828⁰°⁰²⁵ - 1)] = $30 [(1 - 2.71828⁻⁹ˣ⁰°⁰²⁵) / (2.71828⁰°⁰²⁵ - 1)] = $30(0.2015 / 0.0252) = $239.88

present value of the stream of cash flows = $802.16 + $239.88 = $1,042.04
