Answer:

The cost of equity for ABC is 12.17 percent, and for XYZ it is 15.33 percent.

Explanation:

Since we are to ignore tax for the two companies, ABC will pay no interest since it is all equity financed. Therefore, we have.

ABC Co. cost of equity = $58,400 ÷ $480,000 = 0.1217, or 12.17%

XYZ has $240,000 equity and $240,000 debt, it has to pay interest on debt. We can therefore calculate its cost of equity as follows:

XYZ interest on loan = $240,000 × 9% = $21,600

XYZ Profit after interest = $58,400 - $21,600 = $36,800

XYZ cost of equity = $36,000 ÷ 240,000 = 0.1533, or 15.33%

<span>A major difference between juvenile and adult courts is that juvenile courts are more likely to consider extenuating circumstances (emotional, mental, situational, etc.). Frequently, young people will only be moved to adult courts if their crime was particularly heinous, a history of rehabilitation services have not improved the situation, the young person needs a significant about of intervention, or simply that the juvenile is nearly an adult. Though there is evidence of some past intervention on Gwendolyn's behalf, we have no evidence that the crime was planned. Though she was breaking the law and one could say that the possibility of an accident was a logical conclusion, there is (based on this) no evidence that she went out with the intention of hurting or killing someone. Also, given that she is still a minor and at an age when her reasoning abilities are not fully formed, she honestly may not have been able to make that connection. So, no, she should not be tried as an adult. However, she should serve actual time in a center, receiving rehabilitative services and completing community service in order to balance out some of the horror she has brought into the world through the death of a child.</span>

Leya [2.2K]

Answer: $11,000

Working capital is calculated as the difference between current assets and current liabilities.

= (Cash + Net accounts receivable + Short−term Investments ​+ Merchandise Inventory) - Current liabilities

= (54,000 + 95,000 + 13,000 + 140,000) - 291,000

= $11,000

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

$181,600

Explanation:

The computation of total cash is shown below:-

Working  Note :-

Credit sales of December

= $42,000 ÷ 50%

= $ 84,000  

Credit sale of November

= $23,000 ÷ 10%

= $ 230,000

Cash Collected from Credit sales

For January

= $150,000 x 50%

= $75,000

For December

= $84,000 x 40%

= $33,600

For November

= $230,000 x 10%

= $23,000

Total Cash collections from Credit sale  = January + November + December

= $75,000 + $33,600 + $23,000

= $131,600

Cash sale of January = $50,000

Total Cash collected in January  =  Total Cash collections from Credit sale  + Cash sale of January

= $131,600 + $50,000

= $181,600
