Answer:
9 Airbus planes, 1 Boeing plane & 4 Lockheed airplanes
Explanation:
We will develop equations from the information provided
Let the planes be tagged as seen below:
Airbus = x, Boeing = y, Lockheed = z
From the cost of the planes, we have:
200 x + 125 y + 200 z = 2900 ---Eqn 1
From the number of passenger seats, we have:
320 x + 250 y + 275 z = 4480 ---Eqn 2
Twice as many Lockheed airplanes as Airbus planes
⇒ 2z = x ---Eqn 3
Substitute x = 2z into Eqn 1, we have:
200 (2z) + 125 y + 200 z = 2900
125 y + 400 z + 200 z = 2900
125 y + 600 z = 2900 ---Eqn 4
Substitute x = 2z into Eqn 2, we have:
320 (2z) + 250 y + 275 z = 4480
250 y + 640 z + 275 z = 4480
250 y + 915 z = 4480 ---Eqn 5
Multiply Eqn 4 by 2
125 y * 2 + 600 z * 2 = 2900 * 2
⇒ 250 y + 1200 z = 5800 ---Eqn 6
(250 y + 915 z = 4480) ---Eqn 5
Subtracting Eqn 5 from Eqn 6, we have:
250 y - 250 y + 1200 z - 915 z = 5800 - 4480
285 z = 1320
z = 4.6
Substitute z to Eqn 3, x = 2z
⇒ x = 2 * 4.6 = 9.2
x = 9.2
Substitute x & z into Eqn 1
200 x + 125 y + 200 z = 2900
200 * 9.2 + 125 y + 200 * 4.6 = 2900
125 y = 2900 - (1840 + 920)
125 y = 140
y = 1.1
Since it is airplanes that are to be bought, the value of x, y & z must be integers (you cannot buy 4.6 airplanes). As such, we will round down values of airplanes to be bought sodo that we will not exceed the budget.
x = 9, y = 1, z = 4
∴That implies that I will buy 9 Airbus planes, 1 Boeing plane & 4 Lockheed airplanes
Francis Inc.'s stock has a required rate of return of 10.25%, and it sells for $87.50 per share. The dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 6.00% per year. What is the expected year-end dividend, D1
Answer:
D1 is $3.72
Explanation:
The constant growth model of Dividend discount model approach (DDM) is used to calculate the fair price per share of a stock today when the dividends of a stock are growing at a constant rate forever. It values the stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends. The formula for price per share today is,
P0 = D1 / r - g
WHERE,
D1 is dividend expected for the next periodr is the required rate of return on the stockg is the growth rate in dividendsPlugging the values of the available variables, we calculate the value of D1 to be,
87.5 = D1 / (0.1025 - 0.06)
87.5 * 0.0425 = D1
D1 = $3.71875 rounded off to $3.72
It costs Blakeley Company $22.10 of variable and $2.20 of allocated fixed costs to produce an industrial trash can that normally sells for $31.30. A buyer offers to purchase 2,200 units at $21.00 each. Blakeley has excess capacity and can handle the additional production. What effect will acceptance of the offer have on net income?
Answer:
Effect on income= $2,420 decrease
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
It costs Blakeley Company $22.10 of variable
A buyer offers to purchase 2,200 units at $21.00 each
Because there is an unused capacity and it is a special offer, we will not take into account the fixed costs.
Effect on income= 2,200*(21 - 22.1)
Effect on income= $2,420 decrease
In this case, the company should reject the offer, because the unitary contribution margin is negative.
Sarah and First Financial Corp. enter into an oral employment contract under which First Financial Corp. agrees to hire Sarah for five years. Before Sarah begins, First Financial Corp. backs out of the contract. If Sarah sues to enforce the contract,
she will be able to successfully sue to enforce the contract or receive damages for the full five year term.
she will be able to successfully sue to enforce the contract or receive damages for one year of the contract, but the remaining four years will be unenforceable because of the Statute of Frauds.
she will not be able to enforce it, because it is voidable by First Financial since it violates the Statute of Frauds.
she will not be able to enforce it because fixed term employment contracts are illegal.
Answer:
she will not be able to enforce it, because it is voidable by First Financial since it violates the Statute of Frauds.
Explanation:
All contracts that last for more than one year fall under the Statute of Frauds and therefore, must be in writing and signed by both parties. Even if the contract was for one year and one day, it must be in writing. The non-breaching party, Sarah, cannot even sue for damages corresponding to only the first year because the contract is considered to be one and cannot be divided into parts.

Question:
If an organization tracks its strategy implementation, looks for problem areas, evaluates whether the problem areas indicate any weakness in the strategy, and makes any necessary changes, then it is using:
A) Organizational controls
B) Tactical controls
C) Behavioral controls
D) Strategic controls
Answer:
The correct option is D) Strategic controls
Explanation:
Strategic controls refer to the process which helps one to easily and immediately change direction where if proposed strategies do not create anticipated results.
For example, if a company X, decides to reduce prices to drive sales and increase market share albeit, at a cost to its bottom line, where there is no increase in sales, an effective strategic control process would be to quickly reverse the situation to the status quo before implementation and thereafter go back to the drawing table to check why demand is low.
Demand could be weak because, quality of products, or services, do not meet consumer expectations, it could be that there is a violation of one of the 'P' of marketing such as Positioning.
The head of strategy thus reviews and plans the next move to ensure that changes are effected.
Cheers!
A firm considers to buy a machine in 2020. The cost of that machine is $ 5 000 000. The firm uses 5 year straight line depreciation which allows it to write off $ 1 000 000 depreciation expense each year. The firm is subject to 20% corporate tax rate.

A couple received a $131,000 inheritance the year they turned 48 and invested it in a fund that earns 6.1% compounded semiannually. If this amount is deferred for 14 years (until they retire), how much will it provide at the end of each half year (in dollars) for the next 20 years after they retire
Answer:
It will provide an amount of $13,259
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
present value of deferred annuity=$131,000
i=0.061/2=0.0305
n=20*2=40
k=14*2=28
Therefore, to calculate how much will it provide at the end of each half year (in dollars) for the next 20 years after they retire we would have to calculate the following formula:
$131,000=R(1-(1+0.0305)∧-40/0.0305)*(1+0.0305)∧-28
$131,000=R(1-(1.0305)∧-40/0.0305)* (1.0305)∧-28
$131,000=R(1-0.3006/0.0305)* 0.4311
$131,000=R(22.93)*(0.4311)
R=$131,000/9.88
R=$13,259
It will provide an amount of $13,259
george forgot to pay his monthly life insurance premium that was due march 1. the policy had a face value of $100,000. on march 21, george died. how much will the insurer pay george's beneficiary for this death claim
Answer: An amount equal to the face value of the policy, MINUS the overdue premiums and any interest or late penalties George owed them
Explanation:
Grace Periods are usually included in Life Insurance policies to safeguard the client in question in case they are late with their payment. This means that should they pay within the grace period they will not lose their coverage.
Normally in Life Insurance, a grace period of 30 days is standard. George died 20 days after his due date which meant that he was still under a grace period and so the Insurance company will still pay out to his beneficiaries but they will deduct all monies owed by George.

Shannon's physician gives her some pain medication and tells her not to drive after she takes it, as the medication induces drowsiness. In spite of the doctor's warning, Shannon decides to drive to the store while on the medication. Owing to her lack of alertness, she fails to stop at a traffic light and crashes into another vehicle, causing a passenger in that vehicle to be injured.
Answer:
C). Shannon's physician gives her some pain medication and tells her not to drive after she takes it, as the medication induces drowsiness. In spite of the doctor's warning, Shannon decides to drive to the store while on the medication. Owing to her lack of alertness, she fails to stop at a traffic light and crashes into another vehicle, causing a passenger in that vehicle to be injured.
Explanation:
Negligence is defined as the 'tort whereby a duty of reasonable or standard care as defined by law is breached, causing damage or any conduct short of .'
In the above situation, Shanon was aware of the after-effects of the medication she took as her physician instructs her to not drive because she may feel drowsy. Despite this warning, her decision to drive to the store reflects her negligence i.e. 'intentional action that falls below the legal standard for preventing unreasonable damage or harm.' Thus, option C is the correct answer.

As part of the initial investment, Jackson contributes accounts receivable that had a balance of $35,017 in the accounts of a sole proprietorship. Of this amount, $1,229 is deemed completely worthless. For the remaining accounts, the partnership will establish a provision for possible future uncollectible accounts of $740. The amount debited to Accounts Receivable for the new partnership is
Answer: $33788
Explanation:
From the question, we are told that as part of the initial investment, Jackson contributes accounts receivable that had a balance of $35,017 in the accounts of a sole proprietorship and of this amount, $1,229 is deemed completely worthless.
The amount that will be debited to the accounts receivable for the new partnership will be the difference between the balance of $35017 and the $1229 that is seen as been worthless.
= $35017 - $1229
= $33788

A one-year and two-year bonds currently pays 1.2% and 1.6%, respectively. What is the expected interest rate on a one-year bond next year according to the liquidity premium theory if the two-year term premium is 0.1%
Answer: 1.8%
Explanation:
Liquidity Premium theory posits that investors prefer more liquid securities to less liquid ones.
It can also be used to calculate expected interest by relating to other bond returns.
The formula is;
Interest Rate expected in nth year = (Sum of individual interest rates in n years)/n + Liquidity Premium in nth year
The premium provided is for the two - year bond and the return on the 2 year bond is also given.
Plugging the figures in gives;
1.6% = (1.2% + One year bond expected interest) / 2 + 0.1%
1.6% - 0.1% = (1.2% + interest) / 2
1.5% * 2 = 1.2% + interest
3% = 1.2% + interest
Interest = 3% - 1.2%
Interest = 1.8%
Pre-determined overhead rates are calculated by dividing estimates of total factory overhead cost in the upcoming accounting period (usually a year) by an estimated usage or capacity of some unit of related activity (such as direct labor hours).
A. True
B. False
Answer:
The correct option is A, true
Explanation:
The predetermined overhead absorption rate is a forecast overhead rate usually computed by estimated total factory overhead by the planned usage or capacity of the unit of the activity.
This is more like planning ahead for the overhead to be incurred, hence the correct option is A , which truly supported that the statement made in the question
Susan wanted to give a diamond pendant to Lucy, her daughter. Susan entered into a contract with Andrew, a dealer who specializes in diamond jewelry. Susan had promised to pay him if he delivered the pendant to Lucy. Andrew withdrew from the contract and Lucy wanted to sue him. Which of the following statements is true in this scenario?
A. Lucy cannot sue Andrew as Susan's promise was gratuitous and therefore unenforceable.
B. Lucy can sue Andrew as she is a creditor beneficiary of the contract.
C. Lucy can sue Andrew as she is a donee beneficiary of the contract.
D. Lucy cannot sue Andrew as she is an incidental beneficiary of the contract.
Answer: Lucy can sue Andrew as she is a donee beneficiary of the contract
Explanation:
From the question, we are told that Susan wanted to give a diamond pendant to Lucy, who is her daughter. Susan then entered into a contract with Andrew, who is a dealer that specializes in diamond jewelry.
Susan had promised to pay him if he delivered the pendant to Lucy but later Andrew withdrew from the contract and Lucy wanted to sue him.
In this case, Lucy cannot sue Andrew because she is a donee beneficiary. It should be noted that as a donee beneficiary of the contract, the will only get the benefit of the contract as a gift but the contract is really between Susan and Andrew. She is not a party to the contract technically.
Bobbi and Stuart are partners. The partnership capital of Bobbi is $35,300 and that of Stuart is $77,700. Bobbi sells his interest in the partnership to John for $55,900. The journal entry to record the admission of John as a new partner would include a credit to a.Stuart's capital account for $56,500 b.John's capital account for $35,300 c.John's capital account for $55,900 d.John's capital account for $35,300 and a credit to Stuart's capital account for $77,700
Answer:
The correct answer is:
John's capital account for $35,300 (c.)
Explanation:
In the admission of a new partner, the purchase of ownership from an existing partner to a new partner is entirely a personal transaction between the existing partner and the new partner, and the extent of partner bonus (the interest sold on the original partnership amount) is acquired by the exiting partner, but this bonus is not reflected in the partnership agreement, hence the amount credited into the new partner's account is the same as that owned previously by the exiting partner, irrespective of how much the partnership ownership was sold for.
Hence, since Bobbi's partnership capital was $35,300, John's account would be credited with the same amount even if the ownership was sold for $55,900, as the bonus goes to Bobbi.
On January 1, 20X8, Package Company acquired 80 percent of Stamp Company's common stock for $280,000 cash. At that date, Stamp reported common stock outstanding of $200,000 and retained earnings of $100,000, and the fair value of the noncontrolling interest was $70,000. The book values and fair values of Stamp's assets and liabilities were equal, except for other intangible assets which had a fair value $50,000 greater than book value and an 8-year remaining life. Stamp reported the following data for 20X8 and 20X9: Stamp Corporation Year Net Income Comprehensive Income Dividends Paid 20X8 $ 25,000 $ 30,000 $ 5,000 20X9 35,000 45,000 10,000 Package reported net income of $100,000 and paid dividends of $30,000 for both the years. Based on the preceding information, what is the amount of comprehensive income attributable to the controlling interest for 20X8?
Answer:
Comprehensive income attributable to the controlling interest for 20X8 is $119,000
Explanation:
Stamp Corporation
Year Net Income Comprehensive Income Dividends Paid 20X8 $ 25,000 $ 30,000 $ 5,000
20X9 $35,000 $45,000 $ 10,000
The amount of comprehensive income attributable to the controlling interest for 20X8 ;
Comprehensive income of Stamp Corporation = $30,000
Less: Annual amortization of intangible assets acquired on acquisition (50000/8) = $6,250
Comprehensive income of Stamp Corporation after adjustment = $23,750
Income attributable to controlling interest = 80% × $23,750 = $19,000
Net income of Package Company = $100,000
Comprehensive income attributable to the controlling interest = Income attributable to controlling interest + Net income of Package Company
= $19,000 + $100,000
= $119,000
National Java offers to buy 5,000 pounds of coffee beans from Fair Enough Coffee, Inc. without stating a price. Fair Enough accepts the offer. With respect to this arrangement
A. there is a contract, and National Java may set the price at whatever it wishes.
B. there is no contract, because National Java failed to state a price in its offer.
C. there is a contract, and the price will be a reasonable price at the time of delivery.
D. there is a contract, and Fair Enough may set the price at whatever it wishes.
Answer: B. there is no contract, because National Java failed to state a price in its offer.
Explanation:
For a Contract to be legally binding, the most rudimentary of contract rules is required which is that of Offer and Acceptance.
In Offer and Acceptance, one party makes an offer and if the other party has no qualms with the offer they will agree with the offer with the condition being that services will be provided to them by the former and they being the latter will accept those services and then settle their side of the bargain. Their side of the bargain will be whatever it is that the former wants for providing the services that they will.
Should the former party not state what it is they want for their services then the latter cannot know what it is they should do to fulfil their side of the contract so the contract cannot stand.
National Java did not state what it wanted for providing 5,000 lbs of coffee beans so Fair Enough Coffee cannot know what to pay them for it. There is no contract.
A company issued 1,000 shares of $10 par value common stock due to a previously declared stock dividend; the market value at both the date of declaration and distribution was $12 per share. Which of the following correctly describes the reporting of this stock issue within the financing activities section of the cash flow statement?
a) A cash outflow of $10,000
b) A cash outflow of $2,000
c) A cash outflow of $12,000
d) There is no cash flow
Answer:
d) There is no cash flow
Explanation:
There is no cash flow because a stock dividend refers to a dividend that is paid by issuing additional shares to shareholders of a company instead of paying them a cash dividend.
Therefore, there is no cash flow since no cash is received nor paid.
Note: To record stock dividends, the amounts is moved from retained earnings to paid-in capital; and the evidence that no cash is received nor paid is that the journal entries for the issue of stock dividend will be as follows:
Debit Retained for $12,000 (i.e. 1,000 * $12 = $12,000)
Credit Common Stock for $10,000 (i.e. 1,000 - $10 = $10,000)
Credit Additional Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par - Common Stock for $2,000 ($12,000 - $10,000)
The management of L Corporation is considering a project that would require an investment of $260,000 and would last for 6 years. The annual net operating income from the project would be $110,000, which includes depreciation of $17,000. The cash inflows occur evenly throughout the year. The payback period of the project is closest to (Ignore income taxes.):
Answer:
2.04 years
Explanation:
Payback period calculates the amount of the time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from its cumulative cash flows.
To derive cash flows from net income, add depreciation to net income.
$110,000 + $17,000 = $127,000
Payback period = $260,000 / $127,000 = 2.04 years

Orion Flour Mills purchased a new machine and made the following expenditures:
Purchase price
$65,000
Sales tax
5,500
Shipment of machine
900
Insurance on the machine for the first year
600
Installation of machine
1,800
The machine, including sales tax, was purchased on account, with payment due in 30 days. The other expenditures listed above were paid in cash.
Required:
Record the above expenditures for the new machine.
Answer:
When buying PPE, the way to record it is to capitalize every expense that enabled the PPE to be brought to the location required and then set up for use. This includes the actual cost of the machine, the sales taxes (part of purchases price so must be included), the shipment of the machine as well as installation costs.
The Insurance paid (prepaid) is an expense for the period and so will not be capitalized.
Total cost of the machine therefore is;
= 65,000 + 5,500 + 900 + 1,800
= $73,200
Only the machine and the sales tax were purchased on account.
= 65,000 + 5,500
= $70,500
The rest in cash.
Journal Entry is
DR Machinery $73,200
DR Prepaid Insurance $600
CR Cash $3,300

A project with an initial investment of $451,700 will generate equal annual cash flows over its 8-year life. The project has a required return of 8.9 percent. What is the minimum annual cash flow required to accept the project
Answer:
$81,307.55
Explanation:
The minimum annual cash flow required to accept the project is the equal annual cash flow that makes net present value of the project to be at least equal to zero. In other words, it is the equal annual cash flow that equates the initial investment and the summation of the present values (PV) of all the 8-year equal annual cash flow.
This can be estimated as using the formula for calculating the ordinary annuity as follows:
PV = P × [{1 - [1 ÷ (1+r)]^n} ÷ r] …………………………………. (1)
Where;
PV = Present values of equal annual cash flow that is equal to Initial investment = $451,700
P = annual cash flow = ?
r = required return = 8.9% = 0.089
n = number of years = 8
Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:
$451,700 = P × [{1 - [1 ÷ (1 + 0.089)]^8} ÷ 0.089]
$451,700 = P × 5.55544994023063
P = $451,700 / 5.55544994023063
P = $81,307.5457181148
P = $81,307.55 when approximated to two decimal places.
Therefore, the minimum annual cash flow required to accept the project is $81,307.55.
If $1200 is borrowed at 9% interest, find the amounts due at the end of 4 years if the interest is compounded as follows. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.) (i) annually $ 1693.9 Correct: Your answer is correct. (ii) quarterly $ 1204.3 Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. (iii) monthly $ (iv) weekly $ (v) daily $ (vi) hourly $ (vii) continuously $
Answer and Explanation:
(i) The computation of compound interest for annual is shown below:-
Compound interest = A = P × (1 + r ÷ n)^t
= $1,200 × (1 + 9% ÷ 1)^1 × 4
= $1,200 × (1.09)^4
= $1,693.897932
or
= $1,693.90
(ii) The computation of compound interest for quarterly is shown below:-
= $1,200 × (1 + 9% ÷ 4)^4 × 4
= $1,200 × (1.09)^16
= $1,713.145749
or
= $1,713.15
Since it is quarterly so we divide the interest rate by 4 and multiply the time period by 4
(iii) The computation of compound interest for monthly is shown below:-
= $1,200 × (1 + 9% ÷ 12)^4 × 12
= $1,200 × (1.0075)^48
= $1,717.6864
or
= $1,717.69
Since it is monthly so we divide the interest rate by 12 and multiply the time period by 12
(iv) The computation of compound interest for weekly is shown below:-
= $1,200 × (1 + 9% ÷ 52)^4 × 52
= $1,200 × (1.432883461 )^208
= $1719.460154
or
= $1,719.46
Since it is weekly so we divide the interest rate by 52 and multiply the time period by 52
(v) The computation of compound interest for daily is shown below:-
= $1,200 × (1 + 9% ÷ 365)^4 × 365
= $1,200 × (1.43326581 )^1460
= $1719.918972
or
= $1719.92
Since it is daily so we divide the interest rate by 365 and multiply the time period by 365
(vi) The computation of compound interest for hourly is shown below:-
= $1,200 × (1 + 9% ÷ 8760)^4 × 8760
= $1,200 × (1.433326764 )^35,040
= $1,719.992117
or
= $1719.99
(vii) The computation of compound interest for continuously is shown below:-
A = Pe^rt
= 1,200e^0.09 × 4

Ajax Inc. was formed on April 25 and elected a calendar year for tax purposes. Ajax paid $11,200 to the attorney who drew up the articles of incorporation and $5,100 to the CPA who advised the corporation concerning the accounting and tax implications of its organization. Ajax began business operations on July 15. To what extent can Ajax deduct its $16,300 organizational costs on its first tax return
Answer: $5,377
Explanation:
$5,000 can be deducted from Ajax inc. $16,300 organizational costs and must capitalize the $11,300 which remains.
The capitalized cost can be amortized for a period of 180 months at a rate of $62.78 per month.
If Ajax inc. decides to follow this direction, Ajax can also deduct $377 amortization this sums up to
(6 months × $62.78).
Ajax inc. can save $377 more by deducting $5,377 organizational cost from its first tax return.
Doug Pederson Corporation bases its predetermined overhead rate on machine-hours. Data for 2017 appear below: Estimated machine-hours 73,000 Estimated total manufacturing overhead $1,057,730 Actual machine-hours 74,900 Actual total manufacturing overhead $1,147,000 The predetermined overhead rate for 2017 was closest to:
Answer:
Predetermined overhead Absorption rate = $14.5 per machine hour
Explanation
Predetermined Overhead absorption rate(POAR) = Estimate overhead /Estimated machine hours
Estimated overhead = $1,057,730
Estimated machine hours =73,000 hours
Overhead absorption rate = $1,057,730/73,000 hours =$14.48 per machine hour
Predetermined overhead Absorption rate = $14.5 per machine hour
Suppose an American worker can make 100 chairs or catch 1,000 fish per day. A Chilean worker, on the other hand, can produce 40 chairs or catch 400 fish per day. Which of the following statements is true?
a. Chile has the comparative advantage in chair production.
b. Both the United States and Chile have a comparative advantage in chair production.
c. Neither the United States nor Chile has a comparative advantage in chair production.
d. The United States has the comparative advantage in chair production.
Answer:
Neither the United States nor Chile has a comparative advantage in chair production.
Explanation:
A country has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared with other countries.
A countrry has absolute advantage if it produces more quantities of a good when compared to another country.
America:
Opportunity cost in producing chairs = 1,000 / 100 = 10
Opportunity cost in fishing = 100 / 1000 = 0.1
For Chile:
Opportunity cost in producing chairs = 400 / 40 = 10
Opportunity cost in fishing = 40/ 400 = 0.1
Neither the United States nor Chile has a comparative advantage in chair production because they produce at the same opportunity cost.

Sally's Choice sells season memberships for $200 each. During January 2017, 60 season memberships were sold. As of March 31, 2017, $3,000 of season membership fees had been collected from customers. The season runs for four months starting March 1, 2017. Which one of the following is an amount reported on the financial statements for the period ending March 31, 2017?
Unearned membership revenue of $3,000
Unearned membership revenue of $9,000
Accounts receivable of $3,000
Membership revenue of $9,000
False
Answer:
Unearned membership revenue of $9,000
Explanation:
The sales on credit during January 2017 was valued at $12,000 ($200 x 60).
In March 2017, customers paid $3,000, leaving the balance of $9,000 outstanding.
Since the season for which sales and collections were made starts March 1, 2017, when reporting the financial statements for the period ending March 31, 2017, the Membership Revenue would be $3,000 only and the balance $9,000 would be reported as Unearned Membership Revenue in the Balance Sheet with a further $9,000 reported in the Accounts Receivable to balance the records.
This shows that Unearned Membership Revenue of $9,000 is the only valid statement.
Suppose the opportunity cost of capital is 10 percent and you have just won a $1 million lottery that entitles you to $100,000 at the end of each of the next ten years. Alternatively, you can accept an immediate cash payment of $600,000. Ignoring the tax implications, which option is better and by how much?
Answer:
It is more convenient to accept the first offer. It has a higher present value than accepting $600,000 now. Exactly $14,456.712
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Discount rate= 10%
Offer:
Cash flow= $100,000
Years= 10
Or:
You can accept an immediate cash payment of $600,000.
First, we need to calculate the present value of the first offer. We will determine the final value, and then, the present value.
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual cash flow
FV= {100,000*[(1.10^10)-1]} / 0.10
FV= 1,593,742.46
Now, the present value:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 1,593,742.56/ (1.10^10)
PV= $614,456.712
It is more convenient to accept the first offer. It has a higher present value than accepting $600,000 now. Exactly $14,456.712

"Winston tells Lenita that he prefers to form an S corporation because he does not want to attach "LLC" to the name of the company. Lenita responds that the option of an S corporation is not available for their situation. Is she correct
Answer:
D. Yes, because all the owners are not U.S. citizens.
Explanation:
This question is not incomplete.
Please find the incomplete information below.
Winston and Noe patented a mechanism that will change open heart surgery forever. They are setting up a business to produce and sell their invention to hospitals and will take advantage of Noe's non-U.S. citizenship to help with sales in international markets. They hire Lenita, a corporate lawyer, to assist in setting up their business. Winston's largest concern is taxes. Noe, on the other hand, doesn't want to bother keeping corporate minutes and having board meetings as he is too busy. Both are concerned about being sued personally for products liability
As it is mentioned in the question that Winston and Noe wanted to set up a business for producing and selling an invention so that it would result in taking the advantage of non-U.S. citizenship so t it would help in an international market sales. For that, they hired Lenita, who is a corporate lawyer. At the same time, both the point of view is different. But they being sued for liability of products personally.
In the given scenario, Lanita is correct for the non-availability of the S corporation option as all the owners do not belong from U.S citizens.
