Answer:
A) Accounting for bonds and notes under US GAAP and IFRS is similar.
Explanation:
US GAAP and IFRS do not have the same accounting guideline for bond issue cost:
Under US GAAP, bonds payable is recorded at face value while premiums or discounts are recorded separately. While under IFRS, bonds payable is recorded using the carrying value, and amortization or premiums or discounts is done by using the effective-interest method.
Answer:
- Receiving five cents for recycling glass bottles
- Parking fines for illegal parking
- Tax breaks for 401(k) retirement contributions checked
Explanation:
Recycling is good for the environment and also means companies spending less because they wouldn't have to reproduce the recycle material from scratch. Paying a person money for recycling the glass bottles is an incentive that is meant to encourage them to do it more.
Not all incentives are positive however. Some are negative and aimed at reducing a behavior. Fining people for illegal parking is an example as the logic is that the offending party will think of the fines the next time they want to park illegally and refrain from it.
Offering tax breaks to a person in order to get them to save is an incentive because they are being offered to keep more of their money if they save more.
Answer:
e) $37.05
Explanation:
Using the dividend growth model, the value of a stock is the present value of the future dividends receivable discounted at the required rate of return . The required rate of return is given as 12%.
So we discount the year 3 dividend using the dividend growth model formula
P = D (1+g)/r-g
r- rate of return, g = growth rate
Present value of the future dividends:
PV of Year 1 = 1.55(1.015)m × 1.12^(-1)
= 1.4047
PV of Year 2 = 1.55 (1.015)(1.015) × 1.12^(-2)
= 1.27
PV of Year 3 (this will be done in two steps)
Step 1; PV (in yr 2) of year 3 dividend
= (1.55)(1.015)^2×(1.08)/(0.12-0.08)
=43.114
Step 2 : PV (in yr 2) of year 3 dividend
=43.114 × (1.12^(-2))
= 34.37
Best estimate of stock = 1.40 + 1.27 +34.37
= $37.05
Note
To discount the year 3 dividend, we use two steps. The first stp helps get the PV in year 2, and step 3 helps to take it further to the PV in year 0
Answer:
The marginal benefit from selling the vane without restoring it is $200.
Explanation:
Marginal benefits are the extra income a company can get from selling one additional unit of production.
Zane had already spent $250 in purchasing the vane and the restoration process.
Zane has two options:
- Sell the vane as it is for $200.
- Keep restoring the vane, spend $200 more and sell the vane for $500.
If Zane decides to sell the vane as it is, his marginal benefit will be $200. That would not be enough to cover his costs, this transaction will result in a $50 loss.
If Zane decides to continue the restoration, then his marginal costs will be $200 extra, but his marginal benefit would be $500. If he chose this option he could end up earning a $50 profit.
