In previous years, Cox Transport reacquired 4 million treasury shares at $22 per share and, later, 2 million treasury shares at

crimeas [40]

Answer:

$8 million

Explanation:

Weighted-average cost = [(4,000,000 × $22) + (2,000,000 × $25)] ÷ (4,000,000 + 2,000,000) = $23

Increase in paid-in capital - share repurchase per share = selling price —Weighted-average cost = $27 - $23 = $4

Amount of increase in paid-in capital—share repurchase = Number of treasury shares × $4 = 2 million × $4 = $8 million

Therefore, Cox’s paid-in capital - share repurchase will increase by $8 million.

Although there are some clear disadvantages associated with extending credit to customers, such as bad debt costs, most managers

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

The primary advantage they refer to is additional sales revenue.

Explanation:

Extending credit to customers is generally done through use of credit cards these days. This does allow the customers to buy goods and services on credit and pay later for those goods.

Offering credit is beneficial for both the shopkeepers or merchants and the buyers. Customers do not have to pay cash (as they can run out of cash at times), so they buy more and this increases the sales revenue for the merchants, which becomes the primary advantage for them and outweighs the costs.

Metallica Bearings, Inc., is a young start-up company. No dividends will be paid on the stock over the next seven years, because

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

The price of the stock today will be $66.19

Explanation:

To calculate the price of a stock whose dividends will grow at a constant rate forever is calculated using the constant growth model of dividend discount model approach. To calculate the price of the stock today using this model, we use the following formula,

P0 = D1 / r - g

We will first calculate the price of the stock at t=8 using D9 because we use the next period's dividend to calculate the price of a stock. We will then discount back the price at t=8 to today's price.

P8 = 14.25 * (1+0.06) / (0.14 - 0.06)

P8 = $188.8125

The price of the stock today will be,

P0 = 188.8125 / (1+0.14)^8

P0 = $66.189 rounded off to $66.19

Analysis of Receivables Method At the end of the current year, Accounts Receivable has a balance of $420,000; Allowance for Doub

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. Amount of adjusting entry for uncollectible accounts

= Estimated balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts + debit balance

= $16,400 + $4,000

= $20,400

b. Adjusted balances

For account receivable

= account receivable

= $420,000

For allowance for doubtful debts

= Estimated amount

= $16,400

For bad debts

= AMount of adjusting entry

= $20,400

c. Net realizable value

= Account receivable balance - estimated balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

= $420,000 - $16,400

= $403,600

Suppose the price of university sweatshirts increases from $10 to $20 and the quantity supplied increases from 20 to 30. The pri

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

0.60

Explanation:

The midpoint formula is used to calculate elasticity by using average percentage in both price and quantity.

The formula is given below:

Percentage change in quantity = (Q2 -Q1) x 100

(Q2 + Q1) / 2

Percentage change in price = (P2 -P1) x 100

(P2 + P1) / 2

Elasticity = Percentage change in price__

Percentage change in quantity

Inserting the data:

Percentage change in quantity = (30 -20) x 100 = 10 x 100 = 40%

(30 + 20) /2 25

Percentage change in price = ($20 - $10) x 100 = 10 x 100 = 66.6%

($20 + $10) /2 15

Elasticity of supply = 40%

66.6%

= 0.60
