Dee Trader opens a brokerage account and purchases 300 shares of Internet Dreams at $40 per share. She borrows$4,000from her bro
levacccp [35]

Answer:

A. The stock is purchased for $40 x 300 shares = $12,000.

Given that the amount borrowed from the broker is $4,000, Dee's margin is the initial purchase price net borrowing: $12,000 - $4,000 = $8,000.

B. If the share price falls to $30, then the value of the stock falls to $9,000. By the end of the year, the amount of the loan owed to the broker grows to:

Principal x (1 + Interest rate) = $4,000 x (1 + 0.08) = $4,320.

The value of the stock falls to: $30 x 300 shares = $9,000.

The remaining margin in the investor's account is:

Margin on long position = "Equity in account " /"Value of stock"

= "$9,000 - $4,320" /"$9,000" = 0.52 = 52%

Therefore, the investor will not receive a margin call.

C. Rate of return = "Ending equity in account - Initial equity in account" /"Initial equity in account"

= "$4,680 - $8,000" /"$8,000" = - 0.4150 = - 41.50%

A vice president of operations wants to evaluate the impact of reducing manufacturing expenses on the firm's return on assets. W
frosja888 [35]

Available Options Are:

a. Cost of Goods Sold

b. Net Profit Margin

c. None of these

d. Asset Turnover

Answer:

Option B. Net Profit Margin

Explanation:

The increase or decrease in cost of Goods sold can not tell whether the return on assets has increased or decreased becuase it would only tell that the expense are decreased or increased not the profit. Which means it only tells one side of the story hence Option A is incorrect.

Option B is correct because it talks about the profit. If the manufacturing cost has been decreased then the it must increase the profit. Because if the profits has increased then the return on asset will increase. Hence the Option B is correct here.

Option D is incorrect because asset turnover formula is:

Asset Turnover = Sales / Total Assets

The decrease in manufacturing cost will not increase the sales because sales and total assets are independent of manufacturing expenses hence the Option D is incorrect.

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

a. $180

Explanation:

Bad debt expenses is generally classified as Administrative expense and hence it is included in the expense section of the income statement before the calculation of the Net Income.

From the question it is evident that the write offs during the period were $180 and hence the expense recorded in the Income statement as bad debt expense would be $180 because they are unrecoverable for the current period.

Hope this helps.

Thanks buddy.
