Answer:

Option (D) is the right choice.

Explanation:

According to the Modigliani-Miller proposition, the cost of equity will adjust in a way to accommodate its debt obligations.

Cost of equity:

= WACC for an all-equity firm + (WACC for an all-equity firm - Cost of debt ) × (Debt-to-equity ratio)

Initially, when no debt was present,[ [TAG_20]]

WACC = cost of equity = 10%

The levered cost of equity:

= 10% + ( 10% - 6%) × 0.2

= 10.8%

Thus, Taggart's levered cost of equity would be approximately 11%.

+ bank $84,800                    -                   prepaid expenses +$84,800

             

Explanation:

At the point of 1 Nov, there were no transactions recorded in the income statement since the revenue has yet to be realized; only the balance sheet shows + bank $31800 and + income received in advance (a liability) $31800

Each month's rent amounts to $31800/ 6 months =$5300

18 months rent totals to 95400

The unearned amount by December would then equal: 18 months - 2 months earned

                                       = 95400- 10600

                                       =$84,800

Kamin Company's mixing department had a beginning inventory of 4,000 units which had accumulated conversion costs of $55,000. Du
stepan [3001]

Answer:

The conversion cost per equivalent unit in the mixing department amounts to $ 14.19

Explanation:

Step 1 Determine the Number of Units Completed

Hint: Input units in process must equal output units from the process

Thus, Units Completed = 4,000 units+8,000 units - 2,500 units

= 9,500 units

Step 2 Assess the total conversion cost for the period within the process

Hint: Conversion costs in Opening Work In Progress + Conversion Costs Initiated during the Process

So:

Opening Work In Progress         $55,000

Plus Costs Initiated during the Process $92,000

Total Conversion Costs              $149,000

Step 3 Calculate the total Equivalent Units concerning Conversion Costs

Completed Units - 100%               9,500

Closing Work in Progress - 40%   1,000

Total                                              10,500

Step 4 Determine the cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs in the mixing department

cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs= total conversion cost/ total Equivalent Units

= $149,000/ 10,500

= $ 14.19

Burger King is a cash-basis taxpayer but maintains its financial accounting records using full
soldi70 [3150]

Response:

To begin with, let's clarify current and deferred taxes;

Current Tax - The amount of Income Tax that needs to be paid based on taxable income during a specific timeframe.

Deferred Tax - This refers to taxes resulting from timing discrepancies. The gap between tax expenses (calculated based on accrual) and the current tax liability for a given period in accordance with Federal Income Tax Law defines deferred tax, whether it manifests as an asset or liability. This leads to the formulation: Tax Expenses + Current Tax + Deferred Tax.

Following these explanations, the resolution to the question is provided below:-

Details Amount

Income for the Current Year as per financial records $ 48,000

Taxable Income for the Current Year according to Income Tax Regulations $ 38,000

Tax Payable for the Current Year based on Federal Income Tax Regulations $ 5,600

Tax Due for the Current Year according to financial records $ 7,600

Deferred Tax Asset to record in the financial ledgers $ 2,000

Tax Rate applicable for recording Deferred Tax Asset in the financial ledgers = 20%

When the price of a movie ticket rises from $6 to $8 for senior citizens, Gary (a senior citizen) decides to go to the movies ev
arsen [2988]

Answer:

2.33; the demand for movies is elastic

Explanation:

Below is the calculation for price elasticity of demand:

= (change in quantity demanded ÷ average of quantity demanded) ÷ (percentage change in price ÷ average of price)

Here, the change in quantity demanded is defined as

= Q2 - Q1

= 30 - 15

= 15

The average quantity demanded is

= (30 + 15) ÷ 2

= 22.50

The change in price is computed as

= P2 - P1

= $8 - $6

= $2

And the average price is

= ($8 + $6) ÷ 2

= 7

Thus, after computing, the result for price elasticity of demand is 2.33

As we were not instructed on the method for calculation, the mid-point formula was utilized.

From this calculation, we deduce that the demand for movies is indeed elastic.
