Answer:

Given that,

Accounts receivable = $435,000

Debit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = 1,250

Credit Net Sales = 2,100,000

Ending account receivable to be uncollectible = 3.5%

Estimated bad debts:

= Accounts Receivable × 3.5% + Debit balance in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

= (435,000 × 3.5%) + 1,250

= $16,475

Therefore, the journal entry is as follows:

Bad debts expense A/c        Dr.  $16,475

To Allowance for Doubtful Accounts         $16,475

klio [65]

Answer:

a)

Cost of debt (after tax) = 5.4%

Cost of preferred stock (r_p)  = 10.53%

Cost of common stock (r_e) = 16.18%

b)

WACC = 14%

c)

project 1 and project 2

Explanation:

Given that:

Debt rate (r_d) = 9% = 0.09

Tax rate (T) = 40% = 0.4

Dividend per share (D_p) = $6

Price per share (P_p) = $57

Common stock price (P_0)= $39

Expected dividend (D_1) = $4.75

Growth rate (g) = 4% = 0.04

The target capital structure consists of 75% common stock (w_e), 15% debt (w_d), and 10% preferred stock  (w_p)

a)

Cost of debt (after tax) =`r_d(1-T)= 0.09(1-0.4)=0.09*0.6=0.054

Cost of debt (after tax) = 5.4%

Cost of preferred stock (r_p) = \frac{D_p}{P_P}=\frac{6}{57}=0.1053 = 10.53%

r_p = 10.53%

Cost of common stock (r_e) = \frac{D_1}{P_0} +g=\frac{4.75}{39} +0.04=0.1618

r_e = 16.18%

b)

WACC=w_dr_d(1-T)+w_er_e+w_pr_p\\WACC=0.15*0.09(1-0.4)+0.75*0.1618+0.1*0.1053=0.14

WACC = 14%

c) Only projects with expected returns that exceed WACC will be accepted. Therefore only project 1 and project 2 would be accepted

otez555 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. The computation of the balance in retained earnings is shown below:

= Beginning retained earning balance + adjusted net income

where,

Beginning retained earning balance is $780,000

And, the adjusted net income is = Inventory × ( 1 - tax rate)

= $60,000 × (1 - 40%)

= $36,000

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $780,000 + $36,000

= $816,000

2. The journal entry is shown below:

Inventory A/c Dr $60,000

   To Retained earning A/c $36,000

   To Tax payable A/c          $24,000

(Being inventory is adjusted and the remaining balance is credited to tax payable account)
