The policy makers of Country LT have noticed a steady increase in grain prices over the last several years. The increase in pric

e has caused food prices to rise, resulting in a chain reaction in the economy as consumers purchase less of other goods. After investigating, policy makers found that grain prices are associated with a monopolistic company that is selling grain to food producers. This company has raised their prices to make a larger profit because there is minimal competition within the market. If you were a policy maker in Country LT, how would you ensure that the ideals of free enterprise are preserved while protecting the citizens of your nation? Explain your answer in three to four sentences.

If I were a policy maker in Country LT, I would create a regulatory policy that allowed the grain producer to make as much in profit as possible, but still protect consumer needs. The company would be required to create various smaller companies, each selling different types and quality of grain for varying prices. This would preserve the ideals of free enterprise, encourage competition within the market, and help to keep food costs down for consumers.

Answer:

See the explanation below:

Explanation:

The merged details are first sorted as follows:

Details                                        Book Value ($)            Fair Value ($)

Accounts receivable                     1,800,000                   1,625,000

Inventories                                     2,700,000                  4,000,000

Property Plant and Equipment     9,000,000                 11,625,000

Accounts payable                          3,000,000                 3,000,000

Bonds payable                               4,500,000                  4,125,000

The calculation will now be done using the fair value as follows:

Total fair value of assets = $1,625,000 + 4,000,000 + 11,625,000 = $17,250,000

Total fair value of liabilities = $3,000,000 + 4,125,000 = $7,125,000

Fair Value of Miller Inc. Equity = $17,250,000 - $7,125,000 = $10,125,000

Goodwill from the acquisition = $12,000,000 - $10,125,000 = $1,875,000

The journal entries will look as follows:

<u>Details                                          Dr ($)                      Cr ($)          </u>

Goodwill                                   1,875,000

Miller Inc. Equity acquired      10,125,000

Cash                                                                         12,000,000

<u>To record the acquisition Miller Inc.                                                 </u>

The following information was drawn from the accounting records of Chapin Company. On January 1, Year 1, Chapin paid $56,000 cas
mote1985 [20]

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

a)

The truck was bought for $56,000 and has a 5 year useful value after which it will have a salvage value of $6,000.

Depreciation can therefore be calculated as,

= ( Cost - Salvage) / Useful life

= (56,000 - 6,000) / 5

= $10,000

It will be depreciated at $10,000 per year.

Recording it will be,

DR Depreciation $10,000

CR Accumulated Depreciation (Truck) $10,000

(To record Depreciation expense to the year)

b) The Book Value is calculated as the Original Cost less the Accumulated Depreciation.

The Accumulated Depreciation so far being the first year is only $10,000.

The Book Value therefore is,

= 56,000 - 10,000

= $46,000

c) It is estimated that 5% of Credit Sales will be Uncollectible. This will go into the Uncollectible Account Balance. This is done to cater for the possibility that some people will not pay the money they owe so if they don't, it is simply taken from this account.

Sales are $320,000 and 5% are estimated Uncollectible.

This means that,

= 320,000 * 5%

= $16,000 will be recorded in the Uncollectible Account Balance

Recording it looks like,

DR Uncollectible Account Expense $16,000

CR Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $16,000

(To record Uncollectible Account Expense)

d) The Net Realizable Value of the Receivables will be Receivables less the Uncollectible Account Expense which will be removed to reflect the belief that some debtors will default.

Receivables are $68,000 and the Uncollectible Amount is $ 16,000.

Net Realizable Value = 68,000 - 16,000

Net Realizable Value = $52,000

Upton Umbrellas has a cost of equity of 11.6 percent, the YTM on the company's bonds is 6.2 percent, and the tax rate is 40 perc
matrenka [14]

Answer:

WACC = 9.86%

so correct option is d. 9.86%

Explanation:

given data

cost of equity = 11.6 percent

bonds = 6.2 percent

bonds sell = 103.2 percent

debt book value = $408,000

total assets book value= $952,000

market to book ratio = 2.74 times

to find out

what is the company's WACC

solution

we get here first Total book value of equity that is express as

Total book value of equity = Total assets book value - Total debt book value   .................1

Total book value of equity  = 952000 - 408000

Total book value of equity = $544000

and here market to book ratio  is

market to book ratio  = \frac{market\ value}{book\ value}

so market value of equity = (2.74 × 544000) = $1490560

and  

After tax cost of debt = 6.2 (1 - tax rate)

After tax cost of debt = 6.2 (1 - 0.4)

After tax cost of debt = 3.72%

and

Market value of Debt = 408000 × 103.2%  

Market value of Debt   = $421056

so

Total market value = $1490560 + $421056

Total market value is =$1911616

and  

WACC will be

WACC = Respective costs × Respective weights

WACC =  \frac{1490560}{1911616}11.6 + 3.72\frac{421056}{1911616}

WACC = 9.86%

so correct option is d. 9.86%
