Answer: bribery and conflict of interest

                   

Explanation: In simple words, bribery refers to the act under which one individual tries to persuade the behavior of another individual for his benefit  by offering him or her monetary benefits.

Whereas, conflict of interest refers to a situation when someone has the authority to make decisions that benefits himself more than the entity he is working for.

Hence we can conclude that the above case depicts bribery and conflict of interest.

1                  $4,703                  1 /(1.08)=0925   $4,350.28

2                    $4,703                  1 /(1.08)^{\wedge} 2=0.857 $4,030.47

3                   $4,703               1 /(1.08)^{\wedge} 3=0.793  $3,729.48

4                 $4,703               1 /(1.08)^{\wedge} 4=0.735  $3,456.71

5                   $4,703              1 /(1.08)^{\wedge} 5=0.680  $3,198.04

   

Total of Minimum

lease Payments  $23,515                                       $ 18,764.97

Add    

Unguaranteed

residual value(ugrv)  4000  1 /(1.08)^{\wedge 5}=0.680  $2,720.00

Asset to be recorded

in the books of lessor

(sum of mlp +ugrv)  $27,515                             $ 21,484.97

Here        

Gross Investment=$27515        

Lease receivable recorded in in the books of lessor(Phelps)(Mimum lease payments + Unguaranteed residual )value = $21484  $21,484      

Walsh (lessee) shoiuld be recorded the amount of present value of minimum lease payments + Guaranteed Residual value=$18764.97 as asset and liabilty            

b) In the books of phelps (lessor)        

2017.01.01  Lease Recievble from walsh ….Dr  $21,484      

                                 to Asset                              $21,484      

(Being Lease receivable recorded )        

In the books of Walsh (lessee)        

2017.01.01  Asset ac ……………Dr  $18,764        

         to Lease Liabilty(Lessor)               $18,764      

(Being the asset and liabilty recorded )                

2017.12.31  Depreciation ……Dr  3752        

                            to Asset                      3752        

(Beint Depreciation recorded charged during the year recorded 18764/5 provided for 5 years)

Here annual payment started from the at the beginning of year i.e annual lease payments start from 01.01.2018.

c)  If expected residual value of $4000 is guaranteed by walsh no changes will be made in classification of lease and there is no chages in asset recorded in Lessor books. But changes will be made in the books of lessee as present value of guaranteed residual value should be added to asset I.e $18764+Present vlue of $4000     $18764+2720=21484

d)   If expected residual value of $3000 is guaranteed by walsh no changes will be made in classification of lease and there is no chages in asset recorded in Lessor books But changes will be made in the books of lessee as present value of guaranteed residual value should be added to asset    I.e $18764+Present vlue of $3000       $18764+$2040=$20804

In 2016, Bubble Inc. had net income of $500,000, assets of $5,000,000, sales of $2,000,000, and debt of 2,000,000. In 2017, Bubb
victus00 [196]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The computation of the return of assets is calculated by applying the formula which is shown below:

Return on assets = Net income ÷ assets

In 2016, the return on assets would be equal to

= $500,000 ÷ $5,000,000

= 0.1

In 2017, the return on assets would be equal to

= $600,000 ÷ $7,000,000

= 0.085

By comparing the return on assets for both the years, we get to know that the return on assets is declining from 2016 to 2017

Biden Resorts Company currently has 0.2 million common shares of stock outstanding and the stock has a beta of 2.2. It also has
frutty [35]

Answer:

Hence, the weighted average cost of capital is 15.87%.

Explanation:

We have to find current weights,  

Value of equity = Shares x Share price = 0.2 x 10 = $2 million  

Face Value of Bonds FV = $1 million

Semi annual coupon P = 1 x 8% / 2 = $0.04 million

Number of coupons remaining n = 5 x 2 = 10

Semi annual yield r = 13.65% / 2 = 6.825%

Value of Debt = Px [1 - (1 + r)-n] / r + FV / (1 + r)n

= 0.04 x [1 - (1 + 0.06825)-10] / 0.06825 + 1 / (1 + 0.06825)10

= $0.8 million

Total Value = 2 + 0.8 = $2.8 million

Weight of Debt = 0.8 / 2.8 = 28.57%

Weight of Equity = 2 / 2.8 = 71.45%

Amount of Debt to be raised = Weight of debt x Capital

= 0.2857 x 7.5

= $2.14 million

Since the amount of debt to be raised is less than $2.5 million, the yield will be 13.65%  

Cost of Equity = Risk Free Rate + Beta x (Market Return - Risk Free Rate)

= 3% + 2.2 x (10 - 3)

= 18.4%

The weighted average cost of capital:-  

WACC = Weight of Debt x Cost of Debt x (1 -Tax Rate) + Weight of Equity x Cost of Equity

= 0.2857 x 13.65% x (1 - 0.3) + 0.7145 x 18.4%

= 15.87%
