Answer: <u><em>$3,600,000 is the amount Wood should capitalize as the cost of acquiring Pine's net assets.</em></u>
Given:
Wood Corp. issued 100,000 shares of its $20 par value
The market value of Wood's common stock on August 31 was $36 per share.
Wood paid a fee of $160,000 to the consultant who arranged this acquisition.
Costs of registering and issuing the equity securities amounted to $80,000.
∴ Cost of acquiring = 100,000 shares issued × $36 per share
= $3,60,000
Answer: c. increase the discount rate.
Explanation:
The discount rate of a country is the rate at which the central bank in that country loans money out to the financial institutions.
When this rate is low, more financial institutions will borrow money as opposed to when it is high. Banks borrowing money increases the money supply in the economy so if the Federal Reserve wants to reduce money supply, it should increase the discount rate which would dissuade banks from borrowing from the Fed thereby limiting money supply.
Answer:
b. Increase by $17,000
Explanation:
For computing the change in the operating income, first we have to determine the cost by make and buy options
Make options:
= Variable cost + fixed cost
= $70 + $60
= $130
Buy options:
= Outside supplier cost + fixed cost × remaining percentage
= $77 + $60 × 60%
= $77 + $36
= $113
So, the difference of cost would be
= $130 - $113
= $17
And, the operating income would be
= Number of units make in each year × cost difference
= 1,000 units × $17
= $17,000

Answer:
42.5%
Explanation:
The computation of the inflation rate between 2012 and 2011 is shown below:
But before that we need to do the following calculations
Cost of basket for the year 2011 is
= 5 × 2 + 20 × 0.5
= 10 + 10
= 20
And the base year price index i.e. CPI is 100
Now
Cost of same basket in year 2012 is
= 5 × 2.10 + 20 × 0.90
= 10.5 + 18
= 28.5
Now
CPI in 2012 is
= ($28.5 ÷ $20) × 100
= 142.5
So,
Inflation rate is
= (142.5 ÷ 100) - 1
= 1.425 - 1
= 0.425
= 42.5%
