Pearson Motors has a target capital structure of 45% debt and 55% common equity, with no preferred stock. The yield to maturity on the company's outstanding bonds is 12%, and its tax rate is 25%. Pearson's CFO estimates that the company's WACC is 12.20%. What is Pearson's cost of common equity
Answer:
14.82 %
Explanation:
WACC = Cost of equity x Weight of equity + Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt
where,
After tax cost of debt = Interest x (1 - tax rate)
= 12 % x (1 - 0.25)
= 9 %
therefore,
Let the Cost of equity be Ce
12.20% = Ce x 0.55 + 9 % x 0.45
12.20% = 0.55 Ce + 4.05
Ce = 14.82 %
thus
Pearson's cost of common equity is 14.82 %

Operations Excellence (OE), Inc. has two production departments: Mixing and Packaging. Mixing DepartmentPackaging DepartmentWarehouseOE manufactures two products: Compound H and Compound L. Compound H is a high-end product that requires more expensive materials than Compound L and is produced at smaller volume. The two products go through the two production departments in essentially the same conversion processes. There is no work-in-process inventory for either product. OE uses an operation costing system that assigns materials cost to the specific product for which the underlying materials are used and assigns conversion costs to all products evenly as each product undergoes the same process in each production department.

Income earned by the business from activities unrelated to its primary operations would be
classified as........ in the statement that measures its performance for a particular period.
Answer:
This type of income is known as non-operating income in the financial statements
Explanation:
Non-operating income, as the world implies, is the income that a firm earns from activities that are not related to its main economic activity. An example would be a mall, whose main activity is the rental and management of commercial real estate, earning some income from short-term investments in the secondary market. This interest would be reported as non-operating income, and would be treated as such for financial, accounting, and tax purposes.
KLM Corporation's quick assets are $6,123,000, its current assets are $13,440,000 and its current liabilities are $8,144,000. Its acid-test ratio equals:
Answer:
the acid-test ratio is 0.75 times
Explanation:
The computation of the acid-test ratio is shown below:
We know that
Acid-test ratio is
= Quick assets ÷ current liabilities
= $6,123,000 ÷ $8,144,000
= 0.75 times
Hence, the acid-test ratio is 0.75 times
basically we divided the quick assets from the current liabilities so that the acid-test ratio could come
Holo Company reported the following financial numbers for one of its divisions for the year; average total assets of $5,800,000; sales of $5,375,000; cost of goods sold of $3,225,000; and operating expenses of $1,147,000. Compute the division's return on investment:
Answer:
17.30%
Explanation:
The computation of the return on investment is shown below
But before that the net income is
Sales $5,375,000
Less: COGS -$3,225,000
Less: Operating Expenses -$1,147,000
Net Income $1,003,000
Now
Return on Investment is
= Net Income × 100 ÷ Average Assets
= $1,003,000 × 100 ÷ $5,800,000
= 17.30%

Cr Interest revenue $4,488
B. Dec 31,2021
Dr Cash $ 16,000
Cr Sales revenue $ 16,000
Explanation:
Preparation of the journal entries
First step is to Compute the annual payments
Present Value of lease payment
Fair value $160,000
less: present value of residual value $14,512
(16000*0.90703)
Present value of lease payment $145,488
Annual lease payment (145488/1.85941) = $78,244
Present value of $ 1 at 5 % 2 periods = 0.90703
Present value of an ordinary annuity of $ 1 at 5 % 2 periods = 1.85941
Second step is to computer the Lease Amortization Schedule
CASTLE LEASING COMPANY (Lessor)
Lease Amortization Schedule
1/1/20 $160,000
12/31/20 $78,244 $8,000 $70,244 $89,756

12/31/21 $16,000 0 $16,000 0
12/31/20
($160,000*5%)=$8,000
$78,244-$8,000=$70,244
$160,000-$70,244=$89,756
12/31/21
($89,756*5%)=$4,488
$78,244 -$4,488=$73,756
$89,756-$73,756=$16,000
Lease Receivable = ($78,244 × 1.85941) + ($16,000 × 0.90703)
Lease Receivable = $160,000
Cost of Goods Sold = $120,000 - ($16,000 × 0.90703)
Cost of Goods Sold= $105,488
Sales Revenue = $160,000 - (16,000 × 0.90703) Sales Revenue = $145,488

DW has an ending Retained Earnings balance of $51,600. If during the year DW paid dividends of $4,100 and had net income of $21,100, then what was the beginning Retained Earnings balance
Answer:
$34,600
Explanation:
The computation of beginning retained earnings balance is seen below:
But we know that;
Ending balance of retained earnings = Beginning balance of retained earnings + Net income - Dividend paid
$51,600 = Beginning retained earnings + $21,100 - $4,100
Beginning retained earnings = $51,600 - $21,100 + $4,100
Beginning retained earnings = $34,600

Problem: Show the effects of the events on the fianncial statements using a horizontal statement model.
Answer:
The accounting equation therefore holds as follows:
Total assets = Total liabilities + Total Stockholders’ Equity = $51,800
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the horizontal statement model showing the effects of the events on the financial statements.
The following calculations are made in the attached excel:
For Event 7, we have:
Office supplies = Amount of office supplies purchased - Office supplies remained on hand = $2,800 - $200 = $2,600
For Event 8, we have:
Amount of revenue that is recognized = Number of months from April 1 to December 31 * (Amount accepted on April 1 / Number of months in year) = 9 * ($36,000 /12) = 9 * $3,000 = $27,000
Also, the following can be obtained from the attached excel file:
Total assets = $51,600 + $200 = $51,800
Total liabilities = $400 + $9,000 = $9,400
Total Stockholders’ Equity = $42,400
Total liabilities + Total Stockholders’ Equity = $9,400 + $42,400 = $51,800
The accounting equation therefore holds as follows:
Total assets = Total liabilities + Total Stockholders’ Equity = $51,800

Explanation:
A company has two departments, Y and Z that incur wage expenses. An analysis of the total wage expense of $43,000 indicates that Dept. Y had a direct wage expense of $6,800 and Dept. Z had a direct wage expense of $10,700. The remaining expenses are indirect and analysis indicates they should be allocated evenly between the two departments. Departmental wage expenses for Dept. Y and Dept. Z, respectively, are:
Answer:
$19,550 and $10,250
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what Departmental wage expenses for Dept. Y and Dept. Z, respectively, are:
First step is to calculate the Indirect wages
Indirect wages = [43,000 - (6800+10700)]/2
Indirect wages= 43,000-17500/2
Indirect wages=24,500/2
Indirect wages = 12,750
Now let calculate Departmental wage expenses for Dept. Y and Dept. Z,
Departmental wage expenses for Dept. Y
=6800 + 12,750
Departmental wage expenses for Dept. Y = $19,550
Departmental wage expenses for Dept. Z=10,700 + 12,750
Departmental wage expenses for Dept. Z= 23450
Therefore Departmental wage expenses for Dept. Y and Dept. Z, respectively, are:$19,550 and $10,250

Explanation:
The market for agricultural products is perfectly competitive
A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
Consumers demand in perfect competition is elastic
If prices increases, the demand curve shifts downward by exactly the increase in price

On November 12, 2013, Berube Co. repurchased 10,000 shares of its own stock at a price of $20 per share. Berube had originally issued the stock in 2010 at a price of $15 per share.Which of the following items would be decreased by the stock repurchase transaction? (check all that apply)a. Total Shareholders Equity.b. Total Assets.c. Cash from Financing Activities.d. Total Liabilities.e. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.
Answer:
Berube Co.
The items that would be decreased by the stock repurchase transaction are:
b. Total Assets.
c. Cash from Financing Activities.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
November 12, 2013: Repurchase of 10,000 shares at a price of $20 per share = $200,000 (10,000 * $20)
b) The treasury stock repurchase decreases the cash from financing activities by $200,000. This also reduces the Total Assets in the form of cash used in the repurchase. The opposite becomes the case when treasury stock is sold. Cash from financing activities is increased just as the Total Assets are increased.
