Answer:

The explanation is given as follows.

Explanation:

Task 1:

The higher the percentage of assets a bank holds as loans, the higher the capital requirement.

When the owners of the bank borrow $100 to supplement their existing reserves , both reserves and debt increase by $100 , therefore increase in debt as in any balance sheet , the total value of accounts on the left hand should be equal to the right hand , so when there is increase in reserves , there will be increase in debt.

Task 2:

It specifies a minimum leverage ratio for all banks

leverage ratio initially = total assets / capital = 1750 / 125 = 14

leverage ratio new value = total assets / capital = 1850 / 125 = 14.8 ( the assets increase by $100 with increase in reserves)

Task 3

Its intended goal is to protect the interests of those who hold equity in the bank.

Capital requirement are there to ensure that bank have enough capital to repay the depositors and debtors and if a bank holds a higher percent of risky assets , capital requirements will be higher so that the bank remains solvent hence option a is right answer.

Answer:

$800,000

Explanation:

Given that;

Sales revenue = $800,000

Cash collected = $645,000

Remaining amount cash collected in January = $155,000

And the delivery of goods is $11,100

Here, since the service revenue earned is $800,000 and same amount would be reported under the income statement, other items given would be ignored.

It therefore means that the sum of $800,000 should be the 2019 income statement report for service revenue.

Tema [17]

Answer:

45%

Explanation:

The market for good x is initially in equilibrium at $5. the government then places a per-unit tax on good x, as shown by the shift of s1 to s2.

As a result of the shift in the supply curve a new equilibrium price is established at $6.25

That implies that the share of the burden that consumers will bear is $1.25 (which represents 55% portion of the tax) - the difference between the previous and new equilibrium prices.

The other 45% portion of the tax will be borne by the producers

20. WACC and NPV [LO3, 5] Sommer, Inc., is considering a project that will result

g100num [7]

Mark Brainliest please

Sommer Inc is considering the new project, and yet we have to calculate under what circumstances the company have to take on the project. In order to assess the project, we need to compute the break-even cost such as the present value of future cash flows and calculate the WACC weighted cost of capital. It measures the weighted cost of equity and the after tax cost of debt. The following information are given: Debt to equity ratio = 0.90 Cost of equity = 13% After-tax cost of debt = 4.8% After-tax cost of savings = $2.7 million Debt to equity ratio = Debt / Equity = 0.90 Therefore, Value of firm = value of debt + value of equity Value of firm = 0.90E + E Value of firm

See the calculation of WACC as attachment
