Answer:

Observational study

Explanation:

The appropriate study for a gas station owner who wants to find out whether customers are satisfied with the service they receive or not is "Observational Study."

Given that the Observational study is a type of research study or scientific investigation in which the researcher observes the effect of an action or activities such as risk factors, or outcomes without a direct impact on the intervention from the researcher.

In this case, the satisfaction of customers concerning the services they receive can only be observed by the researcher without influencing the services or how the customers perceived their level of satisfaction.

Answer:

The unlevered value of the firm is $869325.15

Explanation:

For computing the value of unlevered firm, the following formula should be used which is shown below:

Value of levered firm = Earning before interest and taxes × (1 - tax rate) ÷ cost of equity

where,

Earnings before income and taxes are $218,000

Cost of equity is 16.3%

And, the tax rate is 35%

Now put these values on the above formula

So, the value would be equals to

= $218,000 × (1 - 0.35) ÷ 16.3%

= $141,700 ÷ 16.3%

= $869325.15

The other terms like bonds and the annual coupon should not be considered in the computation part because we have to calculate for unlevered firm which only includes equity and the bond is a debt security. Thus, it is irrelevant.

Hence, the unlevered value of the firm is $869325.15

Explanation:

c. debit Investment-Evans Company Bonds, $100,000, and Interest Receivable $1,500; credit Cash $101,500

The interest is due on bonds of $ 100,00 so it is added to the total amount.

The other choices are incorrect as A does not account for interest due.

B does not indicate the amount of interest separately. D is wrong as interest is again deducted from the total of bonds also they are credited it is receivable not payable

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

1.74%

Explanation:

17% Debt 50% Debt

Sales $500,000 $500,000

Less: Cost $450,000 $450,000

Less: Interest $5,546 $17,400

Profit before tax $44,454 $32,600

Less: Tax at 35% $15,559 $11,410

Net Income $28,895 $21,190

Equity $361,050 $217,500

Return on Equity 8.00% 9.74%

Change in ROE = 9.74% - 8.00% = 1.74%

Workings

Interest (17% Debt) = 43,500*17%*7.5% = $5,546

Interest (50% Debt) = 43,500*50%*8% = $17,400

Tax (17% Debt) = $44,454 * 0.35 = 15,559

Tax (50% Debt) = $32,600 * 0.35 = 11,410

Equity (17% Debt) =435,000*83% = 361,050

Equity (50% Debt) = 435,000*50% = $217,500

Return on Equity = $28,895/$361,050 = 8.00%

Return on Equity = $21,190/$217,500 = 9.74%
