Answer:

8.27 times and 44.13 days

Explanation:

The computations are shown below:

As we know that

Account receivable turnover ratio = Net credit sales ÷ Average accounts receivable  

where,  

Net credit sales is $33,080

And, the Average accounts receivable would be

= (Accounts receivable, beginning of year + Accounts receivable, end of year) ÷ 2

= ($3,638 + $4,358) ÷ 2

= $3,998

So, the accounts receivable turnover ratio would be

= $33,080 ÷ $3,998

= 8.27 times

And the average collection period is

= 365 days ÷ accounts receivable turnover

= 365 days ÷ 8.27 times

= 44.13 days

Assume that on December 31, 2019, Kimberly-Clark Corp. signs a 10-year, non-cancelable lease agreement to lease a storage buildi
Anika [276]

Answer:

a) the journal entry to record the signing of the lease agreement:

December 31, 2019, lease agreement signed

Dr Right of use 483,360

   Cr Lease liability 483,360

the lease liability must record the present value of the 10 annual lease payments: $68,099 and 8% discount rate:

present value of an annuity due = payment + {payment x [1 - (1 + r)⁻⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾]/r}

  • payment = 66,699
  • r = 8%
  • n - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9

PV annuity due = 66,699 + {66,699 x [1 - (1 + 0.08)⁻⁹]/0.08} = 66,699 + 416,661 = $483,360

the journal entries to record the annual lease payments:

December 31, 2019, first annual lease payment

Dr Lease liability 66,699

   Cr Cash 66,699

December 31, 2020, second annual lease payment

Dr Lease liability 33,366

Dr Interest expense 33,333

   Cr Cash 66,699

interest expense = $416,661 x 8% = $33,333

December 31, 2020, depreciation expense

Dr Depreciation expense - leased building 48,336

   Cr Accumulated depreciation - leased building 48,336

December 31, 2021, third annual lease payment

Dr Lease liability 36,035

Dr Interest expense 30,664

   Cr Cash 66,699

interest expense = $383,295 x 8% = $30,664

December 31, 2021, depreciation expense

 Dr Depreciation expense - leased building 48,336

   Cr Accumulated depreciation - leased building 48,336

b) this would increase the right to use asset and lease liability by:

= -$5,000 + $1,000 = $4,000

c) this would increase the right to use asset and lease liability by:

= 5,000 + {5,000 x [1 - (1 + 0.08)⁻⁹]/0.08} = $36,234

Alja [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

interest rates on a three-year bond =(int in year1+int in year2+int in year3)/n =  (3+4.5+6)/3 =4.8%

interest rates on a six-year bond = (3%+4.5%+6% +7.5%+ 9%+ 10.5%)/6 = 7.35%

interest rates on a nine-year bond = (3%+4.5%+ 6%+ 7.5%+ 9%+ 10.5%+ 13%+ 14.5%+16%)/9 =10.23%

So, int rate on a 3 year bond is 4.8%; on a 6 year bond is 7.35%; on a 9 year bond 10.23%

BaLLatris [955]

Muhammad Yunus, The Grameen bank founder, was highly successful in applying social incentives through group responsibility to maximize loan repayment rates and created an incentive for other banks to offer similar loans to the poor.

Since Professor Muhammad Yunus founded Grameen Bank in 1976, several economists have analyzed the Grameen Bank's success in trying to eradicate poverty in Bangladesh, either theoretically or empirically. He used social incentives through group responsibility to maximize loan repayment rates and created an incentive for other banks to offer similar loans to the poor.

Social incentives refer to a wide variety of interpersonal motivations and rewards that encourage people to act in a socially valued and approved manner. Projecting a positive reputation and social image, obtaining social acceptance, and moving up the social hierarchy are all examples of social incentives.

The Master Manufacturing Company has just announced a tender offer for its own common stock. Master is offering to buy up to 100
siniylev [52]

Answer:

$0

Explanation:

Since the offer to repurchase the stock's is contingent (or depends on) the fact that 64% of all outstanding stocks are tendered, there is absolutely no assurance that the threshold (64%) will be met. So there is no assurance that the stockholder is going to be paid (there is no guaranteed payment at all) if he/she decides to tender the stocks.
