Answer:
The two firms will manipulate the market in unison, to maintain the same price, which guarantees the optimum benefit for both firms, as opposed to if one or both of them reduces its price.
Explanation:
A cartel is a group of independent market participants that collude with each other in order to improve their profits and dominate the market. Cartels are usually in the same line of business, and they form a type of alliance as competitors. Cartel use price fixing, bid rigging, and reductions in output, to dominate the market and to maximize their profit. They are usually frowned upon in a free market system.
In this case, if the the two firms Boeing and Rolls-Royce operates as a cartel, they will bend the market rules by fixing their prices, instead of letting market drivers like demand and supply to determine their selling price, they might also reduce their output so that they both have the same level of output, or do any other form of manipulation in unison to maintain the same price. This is because both companies will benefit equally if they maintain the same price, as opposed to if one or both of them reduces price.
Use the information below to answer the following question. Boxwood Company sells blankets for $60 each. The following was taken from the inventory records during May. The company had no beginning inventory on May 1. Date Blankets Units Cost May 3 Purchase 5 $20 10 Sale 3 17 Purchase 10 24 20 Sale 6 23 Sale 3 30 Purchase 10 30 Assuming that the company uses the perpetual inventory system, determine the ending inventory value for the month of May using the FIFO inventory cost method.
Answer:
Boxwood Company
Determination of the Ending Inventory, using the FIFO method:
Date Blankets Units Unit Cost Total cost
May 17 Purchase 3 24 $72
May 30 Purchase 10 30 $300
Total cost of Ending Inventory = $372 ($72 + 300)
Explanation:
a) Inventory Records during May:
Date Blankets Units Cost
May 3 Purchase 5 $20
May 10 Sale 3
May 17 Purchase 10 24
May 20 Sale 6
May 23 Sale 3
May 30 Purchase 10 30
May 31 Ending Balance 13
FIFO method of costing inventory is based on the assumption that a business entity sells older stock of goods first before the latest goods brought into the store. FIFO means First-in, First-out. It is one of the methods of costing inventory. Others include LIFO, Weighted Average, and Specific Identification.
Harry has a Personal Auto Policy (PAP) with liability limits of 100/$300/$50 and medical payments limits of $5,000 insuring his SUV. Harry also has other than collision and collision coverages with deductibles of $250 and $500, respectively. The local taxicab drivers are on strike and Harry decides to capitalize on the situation by transporting persons in his SUV for a fee. While transporting a businessman, Harry loses control of his SUV and hits a parked car. The damages are as follows:
Harry's medical costs - $2,000The businessman's medical costs - $1,000Damage to the parked car - $14,000Damage to Harry's car - $12,000How much, if any, will Harry's PAP insurer pay for damages under Part A—Liability Coverage?A. $0B. $14,000C. $17,000D. $29,000
Answer:
A) $0
Explanation:
The personal automobile policy (PAP) is an automobile insurance contract which most people purchase in order to protect their automobile from costs that may arise due to auto accidents.
Under the Part A—Liability Coverage, there are exclusions whereby the insurer won't pay for any damage, and one of the exclusions states that "for that “insured’s” liability arising out of the ownership or operation of a vehicle while it is being used as a public or livery conveyance, no liability coverage would be provided."
In this case, since Harry used his SUV to transport people for a fee, Harry's PAP insurer won't pay for damages under Part A—Liability Coverage because he used his SUV for livery conveyance.
Some quotes were stated from "Types of Automobile Policies and the Personal Automobile Policy"
An investor is considering the purchase of a residential rental property that has an asking price of $400,000. The property has four rental units that are expected to rent for $1,200 each per month. Operating expenses and vacancy allowances are expected to be 45% of gross income. An 5% interest only mortgage loan is available for 5 years at 100% of the purchase price. How much cash income will the investor receive each month of the first year after paying the monthly mortgage payment
Answer:
The answer is $973
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
A residential rental property asking price = $400,000
Property expected to rent = $1200
Operating expenses expected = 45%
Interest =5%
Mortgage loan available for =5 years
Purchase price =100%
Now, we find out the cash income the investor receive each month of the first year after paying the monthly mortgage payment
Thus
Rental income (1200*4 units)=$4800
Less: operating expenses (4800*45%)=$2160
The Net income per month=$2640
So,
Less:Monthly mortgage interest payment=$1667 [(400000*5%)
=20000/12=1667]
The Cash income =$973
Therefore the investor will receive $973 each month of the first year.

Agency conflicts between managers and shareholders An agency relationship can degenerate into an agency conflict when an agent acts in a manner that is not in the best interest of his or her principal. In business, these conflicts most frequently involve the enrichment of the firm's executives or managers (in the form of money and perquisites or power and prestige) at the expense of the shareholders. This usurping of shareholder wealth is most likely to occur when shareholders do not have sufficient information about the decisions and actions being made by the firm's management. Consider the following scenario and determine whether an agency conflict exists: Daniel owns Daniel's Tantalizing Tees, a T-shirt shop in a small college town in Kansas. With a staff of three part-time employees, Daniel operates the business in accordance with his personal goals, dreams, and capabilities.
Does Daniel have an agency conflict to deal with?
A. No; by having part-time, as opposed to full-time, employees, Daniel is prevented from experiencing an agency conflict.
B. Yes; as both the owner and operator of Daniel's Tantalizing Tees, Daniel has created the necessary agency relationship through which an agency conflict can exist.
C. No; as both the owner and operator of Daniel's Tantalizing Tees, Daniel has not created the necessary agency relationship through which an agency conflict can exist.
D. Yes; there is always an inherent conflict of interest between owners and operators (managers). Consider the following scenario and determine whether an agency conflict exists: Five years ago, Li created a plant-care business that grew, stocked, and maintained fresh plants in office buildings throughout Denver. Over time, The Green Zone Inc. (TGZ) has grown from a proprietorship into a corporation, now reaching far beyond Denver. To finance and support this growth, TGZ issued shares that were sold to TGZ employees, Li's family members, and selected outsiders. Li is TGZ's chairman of the board of directors and CEO, but he is no longer the largest shareholder. At the latest annual meeting, two mutually exclusive proposals were placed on the ballot for discussion and vote. The first was put forth by Li and TGZ's management team, and the second was proposed by a small group of other shareholders. Both groups are adamantly opposed to the other group's proposal, even though both proposals would likely have the same effect on TGZ's value and riskiness.
Does an agency conflict exist between TGZ's management and the small group of opposing shareholders?
A. Yes; an agency relationship exists, and an agency relationship always gives rise to agency conflicts, regardless of the actual behavior of the participants.
B. Yes; any conflict or disagreement between the firm's managers and its shareholders constitutes an agency conflict.
C. No; although an agency relationship exists between TGZ's management-including Li as TGZ's chairman and CEO and the firm's shareholders-there is no agency conflict, because no expropriation or wasting of the shareholders' wealth has occurred.
D. No; Li was the original owner of TGZ, so he would always be sensitive to the concerns of the firm's current owners (shareholders) and would not engage in an agency conflict. For the past 40 years, companies have attempted to attract, retain, and encourage managers by developing attractive compensation packages. These compensation packages have also been intended to reduce potential agency conflicts between these managers and the firm's shareholders. In the best interest of shareholders, compensation packages should be structured in a way such that managers have an incentive to maximize the____value of the company's common stock price. Great Fortunes Baking Company's stockholders are mostly individual investors, and there is relatively little institutional ownership. If several pension and mutual funds were to take large positions in Great Fortunes Baking Company's stock, direct shareholder intervention would be likely to motivate the firm's management. Katz Investment Group's stock price is currently trading at $20 per share. The consensus among market analysts is that the stock should trade for $27.5 per share, given the amount, timing, and riskiness of the company's dividends. Is Katz Investment Group more or less likely to receive a hostile takeover bid?
1. Less likely
2. More likely
Answer:
1. C. No; as both the owner and operator of Daniel's Tantalizing Tees, Daniel has not created the necessary agency relationship through which an agency conflict can exist.
For an agency problem to exist, the owners and the managers must be two different sets of people. If they are the same person, then practically speaking, they cannot usurp their own wealth.
2. C. No; although an agency relationship exists between TGZ's management-including Li as TGZ's chairman and CEO and the firm's shareholders-there is no agency conflict, because no expropriation or wasting of the shareholders' wealth has occurred.
Indeed there is an Agency relationship in effect because some shareholders are not in management. However, it cannot be said that there is a agency conflict because there is no evidence shown that shareholder wealth is being expropriated.
3. Intrinsic
The Intrinsic value of a stock is the value that an investor believes the stock is worth. A Manager should therefore get incentives that will inspire them to take investor perception of stock high. When this happens it increases shareholder wealth primarily through capital gain.
4 ... direct shareholder intervention would be more likely to motivate the firm's management.
Institutional Investors such as Pension and Mutual funds usually have more say in a company as they represent several shareholders and have expertise in the field. Should they get involved, their direct intervention would motivate the firm's management.
5. More likely
If investors believe that the stock should be trading for higher than it actually is, this is incentive to try to lay their hands on the stock to take advantage of this undervaluation. They would be able to offer the current shareholders more money than what it is currently worth which will most likely get them the shares they want. This is classified as a Hostile takeover.
Why are adjustments made to the accounting records at the end of the period? (You may select more than one answer. Single click the box with the question mark to produce a check mark for a correct answer and double click the box with the question mark to empty the box for a wrong answer. Any boxes left with a question mark will be automatically graded as incorrect.)
Answer: a. To ensure assets and liabilities are reported at appropriate amounts.
b. To ensure the related revenues and expenses are reported in the proper period.
Explanation:
Adjustments must be made at the end of the period to make sure that the figures in the books are the proper and true reflection of the transactions that took place. That way records are neither overstated or understated thereby giving the users of the Accounting records a proper and accurate opportunity to assess the company's financial standing.
Records must also be adjusted to abide by the Accrual basis in accounting which posits that revenues and expenses should be recorded only in the periods when they occured regardless of if money has been received or paid for them. This way it is easier to match Expenses as well as Revenue to their respective periods.
Quality Timber Pty Ltd is a well-established logging company. With below-average performance, their packaging department is consistently behind schedule. Employees often take long lunch breaks and frequently stop to chat with co-workers. However, the employees get along very well and frequently spend time together, even outside work. In this scenario, the performance norms are _____ and cohesiveness is _____, so productivity is ____.
Answer:
Quality Timber Pty Ltd
In this scenario, the performance norms are _below-average____ and cohesiveness is _ high____, so productivity is _low___.
Explanation:
It has been established that group norms influence individual behavior and group performance. Performance Norms refer to how a person should work in a given group and what his or her output should be.
Cohesion, according to wikipedia.com, "can be more specifically defined as the tendency for a group to be in unity while working towards a goal or to satisfy the emotional needs of its members." Employees of the packaging department tend to be enjoying so much group cohesiveness. But, they need to break some habits to focus on achieving corporate goals by increasing their productivity.
According to Paul Krugman of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, "Productivity is commonly defined as a ratio between the output volume and the volume of inputs. In other words, it measures how efficiently production inputs, such as labour and capital, are being used in an economy to produce a given level of output." A rough assessment of the packaging department employees' performance shows low productivity, as they are "consistently behind schedule and take long lunch breaks, and frequently chat with co-workers," instead of concentrating on their jobs.
Robin Company wants to earn a 6% return on sales after taxes. The company’s effective income tax rate is 40%, and its contribution margin is 30%. If Robin has fixed costs of $240,000, the amount of sales required to earn the desired return is
Answer:
Answer is 1,200,000
Explanation:
return on sales after taxes = 6%
effective income tax rate = 40%, contribution margin = 30%.
Robin has fixed costs = $240,000,
We are to find the amount of sales required to earn the desired return using the information above.
Profit = Contribution - Fixed Cost
Assuming sales = K
6/(100-40)K = (30/100)K -240,000
0.1K =0.3K -240,000
0.2K =240,000
K = 240,000/0.2
so K =1,200,000.

Nielson Motors is considering an opportunity that requires an investment of $1,000,000 today and will provide $250,000 one year from now, $450,000 two years from now, and $650,000 three years from now. If the appropriate interest rate is 15%, then Nielson Motors should
Answer:
The NPV is - $14958.49 . The opportunity should not be pursued as the NPV of the project discounted at the interest rate of 15% comes out to be negative . Thus, Nielson Motors should not proceed with the project.
Explanation:
To determine whether the project should be accepted or not, we need to calculate the NPV or Net Present Value of the project. If the NPV is positive, the project should be accepted.
The formula to calculate the NPV is attached.
NPV = - 1000000 + 250000 / (1 + 0.15) + 450000 / (1 + 0.15)² +
650000 / (1 + 0.15)³
NPV = - $14958.49429
The opportunity should not be pursued as the NPV of the project discounted at the interest rate of 15% comes out to be negative. Thus, Nielson Motors should not proceed with the project.
Gizmos, Inc. produces gizmos at an average total cost of $15 and an average variable cost of $12. The only fixed input used in the production of gizmos costs $240. How many gizmos does Gizmos, Inc. produce?
Answer:
80
Explanation:
Total cost = fixed cost + variable cost
Average total cost = average fixed cost + average variable cost.
Average total cost = Total cost / quantity
Average fixed cost = fixed cost / quantity
Average variable cost = variable cost/ quantity
$15 = average fixed cost + $12
Average fixed cost = $3
Total fixed cost = $240
$3 = $240 / q
Q = 80

Preparation of the incremental analysis of the effect of dropping the Video product line.
Incremental analysis:
Incremental revenue($30,000)
Incremental savings on variable costs +23,000
Incremental savings on direct fixed costs +4000
The Incremental decrease in profit to drop the video line($3,000)
Incremental analyses tend to only show the differences that occured in revenues and costs. While the comparative income statements, tend to show the net amounts to be reported after the drop are not incremental analyses.
Therefore the incremental analysis of the effect of dropping the Video product line will be ($3,000)
On 12/31/X4, Zoom, LLC, reported a $55,500 loss on its books. The items included in the loss computation were $27,000 in sales revenue, $12,000 in qualified dividends, $19,000 in cost of goods sold, $47,000 in charitable contributions, $17,000 in employee wages, and $11,500 of rent expense. How much ordinary business income (loss) will Zoom report on its X4 return
Answer:Ordinary Business income loss =-$20,500.
Explanation:
Ordinary business Expenses are the expenses generally accepted according to the industry standards associated with running of a business.
Here, the ordinary business expenses for Zoom include
cost of good sold= $19,-000
employee wages= $17,000
rent expense = $11,500 and therefore will be deducted from its sales revenue.
charitable contributions and qualified dividends, do not cut across all industries and so are not classified under Ordinary Buisness expences.
Ordinary Business income loss = Sales revenue - cost of good sold, -employee wages- rent expense.
$27,000- $19,000-$`17,000-$11,500= -$20,500. to be reported on its X4 return
Calculate the effective annual interest rate for the following: a. A 3-month T-bill selling at $97,270 with par value $100,000. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) b. A 13% coupon bond selling at par and paying coupons semiannually. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
(a) The effective annual interest rate for a 3-month T-bill selling at $97,270 with par value $100,000 is 11.71%
(b) The effective annual interest rate for a 13% coupon bond selling at par and paying coupons semiannually is 13.42%
Explanation:
(a) A 3-month T-bill selling at $97,270 with par value $100,000
EAR =[tex][par value /price]^n-1}[/tex]
n = 3 months or 12/3 = 4 times in a year

Reiss has invested $5,000 at the end of every year for the past 22 years and earns 8 percent annually. If he continues doing this, how much will his investment account be worth 12 years from now
Answer:
Total amount will be = $856584.02
Explanation:
Annual invested amount by Reiss = $5000
Interest rate earned on the invested amount = 8 percent annually or 0.08.
Total number of years the amount invested, 22 + 12 = 34 years
Now we have to find the total amount if the total investment years are 34 years. Below is the calculation.
[tex]\text{Total amount} =Annuity [ \frac{(1+r)^{n} - 1}{r}] \\= 5000 [ \frac{(1 + 0.08 )^{34} - 1}{0.08}] \\= 856584.02 \ dollars[/tex]
Dave Ryan is the CEO of Ryan's Arcade. At the end of its accounting period, December 31, Ryan's Arcade has assets of $643,800 and liabilities of $244,230. Using the accounting equation, determine the following amounts: a. Stockholders' equity as of December 31 of the current year. $ b. Stockholders' equity as of December 31 at the end of the next year, assuming that assets increased by $83,730 and liabilities increased by $18,540 during the year.
Answer and Explanation:
As we know that
Total assets = Total liabilities + total stockholder equity
a. Stockholder equity s of December 31 of the current year is
$643,800 = $244,230 + total stockholder equity
So, the total stockholder equity is
= $643,800 - $244,230
= $399,570
b. Now in the case of increased, the total stockholder equity at the end of the year is
($643,800 + $83,730) = ($244,230 + $18,540) + total stockholder equity
$727,530 = $262,770 + total stockholder equity
So, the total stockholder equity is
= $727,530 - $262,770
= $464,760
A sinking fund is established by a working couple so that they will have $60,000 to pay for part of their daughter's education when she enters college. If they make deposits at the end of each 3-month period for 8 years, and if interest is paid at 10%, compounded quarterly, what size deposits must they make
Answer:
quarterly deposit= $12,460.99
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
FV= $60,000
Number of periods= 4*8= 32
i= 0.10/4= 0.025
To calculate the quarterly deposit required, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= quarterly deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (60,000*0.025) / [(1.025^32) - 1]
A= 12,460.99

Sexton Corp. has current liabilities of $510,000, a quick ratio of .93, inventory turnover of 6.9, and a current ratio of 1.5. What is the cost of goods sold for the company?
Answer:
The cost of goods sold for the company is $2,005,830.
Explanation:
This can be calculated from the available information using the following steps:
Step 1: Calculation of Current Assets
To do this, we use the current ratio formula as follows:
Current ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
Substituting the values in the question into the equation above and solve for Current Assets, we have:
1.5 = Current Assets / $510,000
Current Assets = $510,000 * 1.5 = $765,000
Step 2: Calculation of Inventory
To do this, we use the Quick Ratio formula as follows:
Quick ratio = (Current Assets - Inventory) / Current Liabilities
Substituting the values in the question and from Step 1 into the equation above and solve for Inventory, we have:
0.93 = ($765,000 - Inventory) / $510,000
0.93 * $510,000 = $765,000 - Inventory
$474,300 = $765,000 - Inventory
$474,300 + Inventory = $765,000
Inventory = $765,000 - 474,300 = $290,700
Note that this inventory of $290,700 is the ending inventory.
Step 3: Calculation of Cost of Goods Sold
To do this, we use the Inventory Turnover formula as follows:
Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold / Average Inventory
Note that average Average Inventory is the addition of the beginning and closing inventory divided by 2. But since the beginning inventory is not available, the practice is to use the ending inventory in place of the average inventory. This is what we do here below.
Substituting the values in the question and from Step 2 into the equation above and solve for Cost of goods sold, we have:
6.9 = Cost of goods sold / $290,700
Cost of goods sold = 6.9 * $290,7000 = $2,005,830
Therefore, the cost of goods sold for the company is $2,005,830.
Clay Earth Company sells ceramic pottery at a wholesale price of $ 5.00 per unit. The variable cost of manufacture is $ 1.25 per unit. The fixed costs are $ 6 comma 700 per month. It sold 4 comma 200 units during this month. Calculate Clay Earth's operating income (loss) for this month. A. $ 9 comma 050 B. $ 14 comma 300 C. ($ 6 comma 700) D. ($ 9 comma 050)
Answer:
A. $ 9 comma 050
Explanation:
The operating income(loss) of a business is the result of the sales less operating costs. The operating cost is made up of the fixed cost and the variable cost.
If the Sales is more than the operating cost, the business makes an income otherwise, a loss.
Sales = $5 * 4200
= $21,000
Operating cost = $1.25 * 4200 + $6,700
= $11,950
Operating income(loss) = $21,000 - $11,950
= $9,050
You have just bought a 10-year security that pays $500 every six months. Another equally risky security also has a maturity of 10 years, and pays 10%, compounded monthly (that is, the nominal rate is 10%). What price should you have paid for the security that you just purchased
Answer:
PV= $6,178.61
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Number of years= 10
Cash flow= 500 semiannually
Discount rate= 10% compounded monthly
First, we need to calculate the semiannual interest rate:
i= 0.10/12= 0.00833
i= (1.00833^6) - 1= 0.051
Now, we need to calculate the final value of security:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= cash flow
FV= {500*[(1.051^20) - 1] / 0.051
FV= $16,708.79
Finally, the present value:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 16,708.79/1.051^20
PV= $6,178.61
Robyn's Retail had 500 units of inventory on hand at the end of the year. These were recorded at a cost of $19 each using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. The current replacement cost is $17 per unit. The selling price charged by Robyn's Retail for each finished product is $27. In order to record the adjusting entry needed under the lower-of-cost-or-market rule, the Merchandise Inventory will be ________. Group of answer choices debited by $8,500 credited by $8,500 debited by $1,000 credited by $1,000
Answer:
Credit inventory 1000 and debit COGS 1000
Explanation:
19*500=9500 <price it is recorded at currently
The rule requires lower cost - market vs. price. Since market cost is lower, you have to find out how much the ending inventory balance should be
17*500=8500
9500-8500=1000
The inventory booked should be lowered, thus requiring credit entry of 1000. Since it is a merchandise loss, it is counted towards cost of goods sold expense, thus debit
Preferred stock valuation TXS Manufacturing has an outstanding preferred stock issue with a par value of $68 per share. The preferred shares pay dividends annually at a rate of 9%. a. What is the annual dividend on TXS preferred stock? b. If investors require a return of 4% on this stock and the next dividend is payable one year from now, what is the price of TXS preferred stock? c. Suppose that TXS has not paid dividends on its preferred shares in the past two years, but investors believe that it will start paying dividends again in one year. What is the value of TXS preferred stock if it is cumulative and if investors require a(n) 4% rate of return?
Answer:
a. Annual dividend on TXS preferred stock is $6.12 per share.
b. The price of TXS preferred stock is $153 per share.
c. The value of TXS preferred stock if it is cumulative and if investors require a(n) 4% rate of return is $164.77 per share.
Explanation:
These can be calculated as follows:
a. What is the annual dividend on TXS preferred stock?
The formula for calculating the annual dividend on preferred stock is given as follows:
Annual dividend on preferred stock = Par value of preferred stock * annual dividend rate
Since we have the following for TXS:
Par value of preferred stock = $68 per share
Annual dividend rate = 9%
Therefore, we have:
Annual dividend on preferred stock = $68 * 9% = $6.12 per share
Therefore, annual dividend on TXS preferred stock is $6.12 per share.
b. If investors require a return of 4% on this stock and the next dividend is payable one year from now, what is the price of TXS preferred stock?
The formula for calculating the price of preferred stock is given as follows:
Price of preferred stock = Dividend per share / Preferred stock required rate of return
Since for TXS, we have
Dividend per share = $6.12 per share
Preferred stock required rate of return = 4%, or 0.04
Therefore, we have:
Price of preferred stock = $6.12 / 0.04 = $153 per share
Therefore, the price of TXS preferred stock is $153 per share.
c. Suppose that TXS has not paid dividends on its preferred shares in the past two years, but investors believe that it will start paying dividends again in one year. What is the value of TXS preferred stock if it is cumulative and if investors require a(n) 4% rate of return?
Cumulative preferred stock implies that unpaid previous dividends can be carried forward as arrears to when the dividend is paid.
Since TXS has not paid dividends on its cumulative preferred shares in the past two years, but will start paying dividends again in one year implies that preferred stockholders will receive the dividends in arrears of one year together with the next dividend payment.
Based on this, we have
TXS preferred stock value = PV of two dividends + Preferred stock price
PV of two dividends = Present value of two dividends in arrears to paid now = M / (1 + r)^n
Where,
M = 2 * Annual dividend on TXS preferred stock = 2 * $6.12 = $12.24
r = 4%, or 0.04
n = 1 year
Therefore, we have:
PV of two dividends = $12.24 / (1 + 0.04)^1 = $11.77
Since from part b. preferred stock price is $153 per share, we therefore have:
TXS preferred stock value = $11.77 + 153 = $164.77 per share
Therefore, the value of TXS preferred stock if it is cumulative and if investors require a(n) 4% rate of return is $164.77 per share.
As per the question, the TXS company has outstanding preferred stock issues with a value that is parred USD 68 per share and prefers to pay the dividend at an annual rate of 9%.
Thus the yearly dividend of the TXS on preferred stock is a. total dividend on TXS stock is of $6.12 per share. If the investors gained four percent on this stock and next is made payable 1 year from now, then the prices of TXS stock will be $153/share. If the TXS is not being paid then the preferred share for the two-year period is total and if investors require at 4% rate of return which is at $164.77 per share.Learn more about the TXS Manufacturing has an outstanding.

What is the days' sales in receivables for 2017?
a. 62.62 days
b. 31.81 days
c. 31.37 days
d. 45.01 day's
e. 33.85 days
Answer:
35.85 days
Explanation:
I suppose the question reads "What is the days' sales in receivables for 2010?"
To find the days' sales in receivables for 2010, use the following:
Days Sales in Receivales for 2010 = (Accounts Receivable in 2010 / Annual Sales) * 365
Where accounts receivable in 2010 from the information given is 940.
Annual sales = $9,570
Therefore,
Days Sales in Receivales for 2010 = [tex] (\frac{940}{9570}) * 365 [/tex]
= 35.85 days
The days' sales in receivables for 2010 is 35.85 days
Return to questionItem 12Item 12 Part 2 of 2 0.62 points Required information Use the following information for the Exercises below. [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Daley Company prepared the following aging of receivables analysis at December 31. Days Past Due Total 0 1 to 30 31 to 60 61 to 90 Over 90 Accounts receivable $ 585,000 $ 399,000 $ 93,000 $ 39,000 $ 21,000 $ 33,000 Percent uncollectible 1 % 2 % 5 % 7 % 10 % Exercise 9-9 Percent of receivables method LO P3 a. Estimate the balance of the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts assuming the company uses 6% of total accounts receivable to estimate uncollectibles, instead of the aging of receivables method. b. Prepare the adjusting entry to record Bad Debts Expense using the estimate from part a. Assume the unadjusted balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is a $12,300 credit. c. Prepare the adjusting entry to record bad debts expense using the estimate from part a. Assume the unadjusted balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is a $1,300 debit.
Answer:
total accounts receivable = $585,000 + $399,000 + $93,000 + $39,000 + $21,000 + $33,000 = $1,170,000
a. Estimate the balance of the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts assuming the company uses 6% of total accounts receivable to estimate uncollectibles, instead of the aging of receivables method.
bad debt = $1,170,000 x 6% = $70,200
b. Prepare the adjusting entry to record Bad Debts Expense using the estimate from part a. Assume the unadjusted balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is a $12,300 credit.
= $70,200 - $12,300 = $57,900
Dr Bad debt expense 57,900
Cr Allowance for doubtful accounts 57,900
c. Prepare the adjusting entry to record bad debts expense using the estimate from part a. Assume the unadjusted balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is a $1,300 debit.
= $70,200 + $1,300 = $71,500
Dr Bad debt expense (= $70,200 + $1,300) 71,500
Cr Allowance for doubtful accounts 71,500
Since the allowance for doubtful accounts has a credit balance, any previous debit balance must be cancelled by crediting the amount.
