Answer:
Bad debt expense 6,500 debit
Allowance for uncollectible account 6,500 credit
Explanation:
"determined that there should be an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $5,150 at December 31, 2022."
We need to recognize as much bad debt as it need to leave the allowance balance on our expected uncollectible account.
balance for allowance before adjsutment:
beginning - write-off = unadjusted allowance
1,250 - 2,600 = -1,350
expected balance - unadjusted balance = adjustment
5,150 - (-1,350) = 6,500
Bad debt expense 6,500 debit
Allowance for uncollectible account 6,500 credit
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:
The following annual returns for Stock E are projected over the next year for three possible states of the economy. What is the stock’s expected return and standard deviation of returns? E(R) = 8.5% ; σ = 22.70%; mean = $7.50; standard deviation = $2.50
State Prob E(R)
Boom 10% 40%
Normal 60% 20%
Recession
30% - 25%
Answer:
The expected return of the stock E(R) is 8.5%.
The standard deviation of the returns is 22.7%
Explanation:
<u>Expected return</u>
The expected return of the stock can be calculated by multiplying the stock's expected return E(R) in each state of economy by the probability of that state.
The expected return E(R) = (0.4 * 0.1) + (0.2 * 0.6) + (-0.25 * 0.3)
The expected return E(R) = 0.04 + 0.12 -0.075 = 0.085 or 8.5%
<u>Standard Deviation of returns</u>
The standard deviation is a measure of total risk. It measures the volatility of the stock's expected return. The standard deviation (SD) of a stock's return can be calculated by using the following formula:
SD = √(rA - E(R))² * (pA) + (rB - E(R))² * (pB) + ... + (rN - E(R))² * (pN)
Where,
- rA, rB to rN is the return under event A, B to N.
- pA, pB to pN is the probability of these events to occur
- E(R) is the expected return of the stock
Here, the events are the state of economy.
So, SD = √(0.4 - 0.085)² * (0.1) + (0.2 - 0.085)² * (0.6) + (-0.25 - 0.085)² * (0.3)
SD = 0.22699 or 22.699% rounded off to 22.70%
Answer:
Price of share = $40.50
Explanation:
P/E ratio describes the price to earnings ratio.
Provided if P/E ratio = 13.5
And Earnings per share = $3 per share.
That means,
Price = 13.5 
3 = $40.5
Therefore, it is not dependent on dividend payout ratio, and the price = $40.50
Answer:
company B's cost of equity is 14.0375% - 8.975% = 5.0625% higher than company A's cost of equity
Explanation:
cost of equity = risk free rate + (beta x market premium)
risk free rate = 4.25%
market premium = market return - risk free rate = 11% - 4.25% = 6.75%
Company A's cost of equity = 4.25% + (0.7 x 6.75%) = 8.975%
Company B's cost of equity = 4.25% x (1.45 x 6.75%) = 14.0375%
this means that company B's cost of equity is 14.0375% - 8.975% = 5.0625% higher than company A's cost of equity.
Answer:
The marginal benefit from selling the vane without restoring it is $200.
Explanation:
Marginal benefits are the extra income a company can get from selling one additional unit of production.
Zane had already spent $250 in purchasing the vane and the restoration process.
Zane has two options:
- Sell the vane as it is for $200.
- Keep restoring the vane, spend $200 more and sell the vane for $500.
If Zane decides to sell the vane as it is, his marginal benefit will be $200. That would not be enough to cover his costs, this transaction will result in a $50 loss.
If Zane decides to continue the restoration, then his marginal costs will be $200 extra, but his marginal benefit would be $500. If he chose this option he could end up earning a $50 profit.
