Scilla [17]

From an accounting standpoint, stockholders' investment and revenues increase the assets of the company without adding to the liabilities. Therefore according to the equation (A = L + E), equity must increase.

Similarly, issuing dividends and paying expenses pays cash out of the company, which decreases assets without changing liabilities. Therefore equity must decrease.

Another way to think of it is: what contributes to the company's profit and/or value, and what decreases these things? Well, revenues and people investing in the company are good (and therefore good for stockholders), and giving cash out and paying expenses are costs to the company (and therefore decrease value for stockholders).

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Dr Retained earnings $14,000

Cr Inventory $14,000

Explanation:

There is a need to make adjustment to the inventory . Therefore,

Adjusted inventory

= New method of $171,000 - Old method of $185,000

= $14,000 decrease

It is to be noted that a lower inventory will have high costs associated with goods sold hence reduces profit/net income for the previous year by $14,000.

Also, the net income reports to retained earnings account hence decreases retained earnings.

Having made the above adjustment, we can assume that the average cost method was used for 2020 books.

On April 1, Pujols, Inc., exchanges $590,000 fair-value consideration for 70 percent of the outstanding stock of Ramirez Corpora

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

Closing NCI = $234,300 + $69,000 = $303,300

Explanation:

The Question is to identify the non-controlling interes in Ramirez Corporation

First we determine the Net income of Ramirez

Net Income = Revenues - Expenses

= $635,000 - $405,000 = $230,000

The next step is to dtermine the value of non -controling interest in teh net income of Ramirez.

Non-Controlling Interest in Net Income = NCI percentge x Net Income

= 30% x $230,000 = $69,000

Finally, based on these calculations , we can compute the Closing Balance of Non-Controlling Interest

The formula = Opening Non-Controlling Interest + Non-controlling Interest Share of Net income

Closing NCI = $234,300 + $69,000 = $303,300

Suppose the spot exchange rate for the Canadian dollar is Can$1.12 and the six-month forward rate is Can$1.14.

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

a)

1$ = Can $1.12

It takes a value of 1 U.S dollar to have 1.12 Canadian dollars. This signifies that the U.S dollar is worth more than Canadian dollars.

b)

Assuming that the absolute Purchasing Power Parity PPP holds,

Since 1$ = Can $1.12, the cost in the United States of an Elkhead beer, if the price in Canada is Can$2.85 can be determined to be:

= $\dfrac{2.85}{1.12}$

= $2.545

c)

Yes, the U.S. dollar is selling at a premium relative to the Canadian dollar.

This is because we are being told that the spot exchange rate for the Canadian dollar is Can $1.12 & in six (6) months time the forward rate will be Can $1.14.

d)

The U.S dollar is expected to appreciate in value because it is trading at a premium in the forward market.

e)

Canada has higher interest rates. This determined by using the formula:

= $\dfrac{(\dfrac{Fwd}{Spot }-1)}{n}$
