Answer:
(A) A wholly owned Subsidiary
Explanation:
A wholly owned subsidiary is a company that is completely owned by another company called the Parent/Holding Company. The parent company will hold all (100%) of the subsidiary's common stock.
A wholly owned subsidiary allows the parent company to diversify, manage, and possibly reduce its risk.
Some of the disadvantages of a wholly owned subsidiary include the possibility of multiple taxation, lack of business focus, and conflicting interest between subsidiaries and the parent company if not properly managed.
Answer: 18.8%
Explanation:
Simple rate of return on investment = Incremental net operating income / investment
Incremental net income = Operating savings - Annual cost
= 145,000 - 420,000/6 years
= $75,000
Net investment = Cost of new machine - salvage value of old
= 420,000 - 21,000
= $399,000
Return on investment = 75,000/399,000
= 18.8%
Answer:
a)
Pre-tax Cost Of Debt = 7.64%
b)
Tax Rate = 40%
Post Tax cost of debt = 7.33% * (1 - 40%) = 4.58%
So Post Tax cost of Debt = 4.58%
Explanation:
Bond Par Value = 12,900,000
Bond Market Price 93% of face value = 11,997,000
Years To maturity = 5.00
Annual Interest 5.9% = 761,100
Formula = [Annual Interest + (Par Value-Market Value) / Years to Maturity] / [(Par value+Market Price*2)/3]
Year To Maturity = [761100 + (12900000 - 11997000) / 5] / (12900000 + 2*11997000) / 3
Year to maturity = 7.33%
Answer:
The ending balance of Allowance for Bad Debts account is $800
