Answer:
a. 1.14
Explanation:
The current ratio is a financial measure that shows how many times the current assets of an entity may be used (covers) the current obligations (liabilities) of the entity.
It is given as current assets divided by current liabilities.
Astin Company’s current ratio
= $82530/$72120
= 1.14
This means that the current assets will settle the current liabilities 1.14 times.
Answer:
C. 25.5%
Explanation:
Net operating cashflow = (250,000 - 100,000) = 150,000; This is a recurring cashflow; the PMT
Cost of equipment; the PV = 400,000
Next, calculate the rate of return using Net operating cashflow per year and the equipment cost. You can do this with a financial calculator;
N =5
PMT = 150,000
FV = 0
PV = -400,000
then CPT I/Y = 25.41%
Therefore the return is closest to 25.5%
Answer:
Option ( b ) $57,000
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Net income = $300,000
W-2 wages = $120,000
Assets with unadjusted basis = $75,000
Taxable income before the QBI deduction = $285,000
Now,
The QBI deduction for 2019 will be given as 20% of the qualified income i.e the taxable income before the QBI deduction
Therefore,
The QBI deduction for 2019 = 20% of $285,000
= 0.20 × $285,000
= $57,000
Hence,
Option ( b ) $57,000
Answer:
(a) 10.4%; 16.73%
(b) 6.33%
Explanation:
Given that,
Wages paid to the workers in 2016 = $25 per hour
Price level in 2016 = 241
Wages paid to the workers in 2017 = $41 per hour
Price level in 2017 = 245
Real wage rate in 2016:
= (Nominal wages ÷ Price level) × 100
= ($25 ÷ 241) × 100
= 0.104 × 100
= 10.4%
Real wage rate in 2017:
= (Nominal wages ÷ Price level) × 100
= ($41 ÷ 245) × 100
= 0.1673 × 100
= 16.73%
Therefore, the real wage increase received by these workers in 2017 is calculated as follows:
= Real wage rate in 2017 - Real wage rate in 2016
= 16.73% - 10.4%
= 6.33%
Hence, these workers do get a raise between the two years.
