Answer:
$70 194.95
Explanation:
The computation of the minimal annual cash flow needed for accepting the project is shown below:
As we know that
Present value of annuity = Annuity × [1 - (1 + interest rate)^ - time period] ÷ rate
$438,500 = Annuity × [1 - (1.08)^ - 9] ÷ 0.08
$438,500 = Annuity × 6.246887911
So,
Annuity = $438,500 ÷ 6.246887911
= $70 194.95
Answer:
allowance for doubtful accounts 4,245 debit
accounts receivables 4,245 credit
--to record write-off of Madonna Inc account--
Explanation:
<em>Prepare the journal entry to record the write-off. </em>
To record the write-off we will decrease both, the allowance and the accounts receivable for the amount we consider uncollectible. Under allowance method the company never uses bad debt expense at write-off it only does at year-end adjustment
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:
The following annual returns for Stock E are projected over the next year for three possible states of the economy. What is the stock’s expected return and standard deviation of returns? E(R) = 8.5% ; σ = 22.70%; mean = $7.50; standard deviation = $2.50
State Prob E(R)
Boom 10% 40%
Normal 60% 20%
Recession
30% - 25%
Answer:
The expected return of the stock E(R) is 8.5%.
The standard deviation of the returns is 22.7%
Explanation:
<u>Expected return</u>
The expected return of the stock can be calculated by multiplying the stock's expected return E(R) in each state of economy by the probability of that state.
The expected return E(R) = (0.4 * 0.1) + (0.2 * 0.6) + (-0.25 * 0.3)
The expected return E(R) = 0.04 + 0.12 -0.075 = 0.085 or 8.5%
<u>Standard Deviation of returns</u>
The standard deviation is a measure of total risk. It measures the volatility of the stock's expected return. The standard deviation (SD) of a stock's return can be calculated by using the following formula:
SD = √(rA - E(R))² * (pA) + (rB - E(R))² * (pB) + ... + (rN - E(R))² * (pN)
Where,
- rA, rB to rN is the return under event A, B to N.
- pA, pB to pN is the probability of these events to occur
- E(R) is the expected return of the stock
Here, the events are the state of economy.
So, SD = √(0.4 - 0.085)² * (0.1) + (0.2 - 0.085)² * (0.6) + (-0.25 - 0.085)² * (0.3)
SD = 0.22699 or 22.699% rounded off to 22.70%
Gross pay is what employees earn before taxes, benefits and other payroll deductions are withheld from their wages. The amount remaining after all withholdings are accounted for is net pay or take-home pay.
