Answer:
$1,650,000
Explanation:
Preparation of the lower portion of the 2021 income statement .
2021 Income from continuing operations before income taxes5,800,000
Income tax expense(1,450,000)
($5,800,000 × 25 %)
Income from continuing operations4,350,000
Discontinued operations:
Loss from operations of discontinued component(3,600,000)
Income tax benefit 900,000
(25*3,600,000)
Loss on discontinued operations(2,700,000)
Net income$1,650,000
(4,350,000-2,700,000)
Therefore the the lower portion of the 2021 income statement is $1,650,000
Answer:
C. Shut down the presses printing my book
Explanation:
Since the average variable cost of producing the book is above the demand curve, the best course of action is to shut down the printing (production) of more books. The author would lose less money by shutting down operations rather than continuing production at a variable cost higher than the demand he's receiving for the books.
In economics, when profit is less than the average variable cost, firms are advised to stop production in the short run and incur economic loss on fixed inputs. This is because with continued operations, total revenue would not only be lower than total cost, but rather, would also be less than total variable cost.
Answer:
7.52%
Explanation:
First and foremost ,the yield to maturity on the old issue is computed using the rate formula in excel as calculated below:
=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)
the nper is the number of times the bond would pay annual coupon interest of $106,which is 20 times
pmt is the amount of annual coupon payment which is $106
pv is the current price of the bond at $860
fv is the face value of the bond at $1000
=rate(20,106,-860,1000)=12.54%
The yield to maturity on the new issue is 12.54% as well
after-tax cost of debt=pretax cost of debt*(1-t)
pretax cost of debt is yield to maturity of 12.54%
t is the tax rate of 40% or 0.4
after-tax cost of debt=12.54%
*(1-0.4)=7.52%
Answer:
119.4% for 2017 and 100.0% for 2016.
Explanation:
2017 2016
Net sales $276,200 $231,400
Cost of goods sold $151,900 $129,590
Operating expenses $55,240 $53,240
Net earnings $27,820 $19,820
since we are using 2016 as a base year, the $231,400 in net sales represent 100%, so the trend percentage for 2017 = net sales 2017 / net sales 2016 $276,200 / $231,400 = 1.1936 = 119.4% or a 19.4% increase.
The base year's amount will always be 100% or 1, and the trend percentages will change relative to that year.
