Answer:

11.86%

Explanation:

Piedmont hotels can be described as an all-equity company

Its stock has a beta of 0.82

The market risk premium is 6.9%

The risk free rate is 4.5%

The adjustment is 1.7%

Therefore, the required rate of return can be calculated as follows

Required rate of return= Risk free rate of return + ( beta×market risk premium) + adjustment

= 4.5% + (0.82×6.9%) + 1.7%

= 4.5% + 5.658 + 1.7%

= 11.86%

Hence the required rate of return for the project is 11.86%

Assume that on December 31, 2019, Kimberly-Clark Corp. signs a 10-year, non-cancelable lease agreement to lease a storage buildi
Anika [276]

Answer:

a) the journal entry to record the signing of the lease agreement:

December 31, 2019, lease agreement signed

Dr Right of use 483,360

   Cr Lease liability 483,360

the lease liability must record the present value of the 10 annual lease payments: $68,099 and 8% discount rate:

present value of an annuity due = payment + {payment x [1 - (1 + r)⁻⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾]/r}

  • payment = 66,699
  • r = 8%
  • n - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9

PV annuity due = 66,699 + {66,699 x [1 - (1 + 0.08)⁻⁹]/0.08} = 66,699 + 416,661 = $483,360

the journal entries to record the annual lease payments:

December 31, 2019, first annual lease payment

Dr Lease liability 66,699

   Cr Cash 66,699

December 31, 2020, second annual lease payment

Dr Lease liability 33,366

Dr Interest expense 33,333

   Cr Cash 66,699

interest expense = $416,661 x 8% = $33,333

December 31, 2020, depreciation expense

Dr Depreciation expense - leased building 48,336

   Cr Accumulated depreciation - leased building 48,336

December 31, 2021, third annual lease payment

Dr Lease liability 36,035

Dr Interest expense 30,664

   Cr Cash 66,699

interest expense = $383,295 x 8% = $30,664

December 31, 2021, depreciation expense

 Dr Depreciation expense - leased building 48,336

   Cr Accumulated depreciation - leased building 48,336

b) this would increase the right to use asset and lease liability by:

= -$5,000 + $1,000 = $4,000

c) this would increase the right to use asset and lease liability by:

= 5,000 + {5,000 x [1 - (1 + 0.08)⁻⁹]/0.08} = $36,234

Mademuasel [1]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>$50,325 is the sale price of the property</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Karen made a commission of $3522.75 on the sale of a property. Splitter commission clear with her broker which is 50% to the broker and 50% Karen. Broker took 55% of the total commission on a 7% commission rate.

So not considering the commission for a while if we divide commission by the commission rate we will get the sale price.

                                    $3522.75/0.07= $50,325.
