Answer:

The solution as per the given problem is provided below throughout the explanation portion below.

Explanation:

The given values are:

Debt issued,

= 120

Pretax earnings,

= 80

Tax,

= 35%

All equity firm,

= $320

Number of common stock,

= 50

(a)

Balance sheet before the debt issue's announcement will be:

<u>Assets </u><u>                                 320</u>

<u>Debt   </u><u>                                    0</u>

<u>Equity  </u><u>                                 320</u>

then,

The total will be "320".

(b)

The per share price will be:

= \frac{Equity}{Number \ of \ common \ stock}

= \frac{320}{50}

= 6.40

or,

After tax, the net income will be:

= EBIT(1-t)

= 80(1-0.35)

= 80\times 0.65

= 52

(c)

The return on equity will be:

= \frac{Net \ income \ after \ taxes}{Value \ of \ equity}

= \frac{52}{320}

= 0.1625

or,

= 16.25 (%)

Anna [14]

Answer: A) absorption costing unit product costs

Explanation:

Absorption costing is the costing convention that is used when fixed costs need to be apportioned to the production of goods and services.

When a company has idle capacity, any production done using that idle capacity would incur no fixed costs because the fixed costs for the entire capacity, both idle and non-idle have been covered already as fixed costs are charged on the entire company capacity.

Absorption costing is therefore not relevant here as the company will use its sufficient idle capacity that has already incurred fixed costs.

andre [41]

Explanation:

The preference committee members are as follows:

Member 1 prefers a to b and b to c

Member 2 prefers c to a and a to b

Member 3 prefers b to c and c to a

The order of this problem can be solved:

Preference for 1, 2 and 3 are as below:

1. a then b then c

2. c then a then b

3. b then c then

Member 1 knowing advantage , will always disagree with 2 and 3 so that he can win when it comes to vote

So, 2 and 3 in order to win , will have to cooperate with each other.

As we can see that the least suitable option according to Member 2 and Member 3 are b and a respectively. Therefore they would not consider supporting either b or a.

So the possible option of Member 2 and Member 3 supporting will be C.

Therefore both 2 and 3 will agree on C.

The predicted outcome of the game is C.

Equipment with an original cost of $75,000 and accumulated depreciation of $20,000 was sold at a loss of $7,000. As a result of
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

O increase by $48,000

Explanation:

A loss is made on disposal of an asset when the amount received from the disposal is lower than the carrying amount of the asset. The carrying amount or net book value of an asset is the difference between the cost of the asset and its accumulated depreciation.

Hence

Carrying amount = $75,000 - $20,000

= $55,000

Let the amount received on disposal be K

K - $55,000 = -$7,000

K = $55,000 - $7,000

= $48,000

This is the amount received from the disposal and it represents an increase in cash.
