Daniels Transport has operating income of $68,200, interest expense of $210, dividends paid of $320, depreciation of $12,400, ot
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Operating income = $68,200

Interest expense = $210

Dividends paid = $320

Depreciation = $12,400

Other income = $2,100

common stock = $48,500 with a par value of $1 per share

Retained earnings = $29,700

Income before taxes:

= Operating income - Interest expense + Other income

= $68,200 - $210 + $2,100

= $70,090

Net income:

= Income before taxes - Taxes at 21%

= $70,090 - ($70,090 × 21%)

= $70,090 - $14,719

= $55,371

Shares of common stock outstanding:

= Common stock ÷ Par value per share

= $48,500 ÷ $1

= 48,500 shares

Earnings per share:

= (Net income - Preferred dividend) ÷ Shares of common stock outstanding = ($55,371 - 0) ÷ 48,500

= $1.14 per share

Therefore, the earnings per share if the tax rate is 21 percent is $1.14.

According to the Security Risk Management: Building an Information Security Risk Management Program From the Ground Up textbook,
Minchanka [31]

Answer with Explanation:

<u>Risk which can’t be mitigated</u>: The risks that the share price would fall due to sudden political environment instability or events that effects the economy will definitely affect the business operations as well. Thus are the risks that can not be mitigated at all. Another example would be Corona virus implications on the operation of the company which is again a risk that can't be mitigated.

<u>Risks, that aren’t worth the effort to reduce the exposure any further: </u>

The part of the sentence talks about the risk exposure which says that if the company doesn't resides in an area which is not prone to seismic activity and the chances of earthquake in a country is below 0.000001% which is almost negligible but still it is worthless to purchase the earthquake insurance. As this risk is almost negligible hence it is not worth the effort to reduce the exposure any further.

<u>Risks that wouldn't be addressed in short term due to other priorities: </u>

The risks that will not occur in the next 12 month, can be addressed after 6 months and thus allowing the company to prioritize the risks that must be resolved first. This means that if their is a risk that one of our several products that would be launched after 12 months from now will not be winning customer market can be addressed after 6 months because it is dependent on our future action. If we don't launch our product, our product is not rejected by the customer. Hence situations like this allows us to prioritize our risks.

Bluebird Mfg. has received a special one-time order for 15,000 bird feeders at $3 per unit. Bluebird currently produces and sell
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Net income will increase by $11,250

Explanation:

Provided information,

Current sales = 75,000 units which represents 80% capacity

Therefore, 100% capacity = \frac{75,000}{0.8} = 93,750 units

Fixed cost at 100% capacity = $1.25 \times 93,750 = $117,187.50

Therefore,

Current net income

Sales = 75,000 \times $7.00 = $525,000

Less: Variable cost = 75,000 \times $3.50 = $262,500

Less: Fixed Cost = $117,187.50

Net Operating Income = $145,312.50

Now with the additional order, which is of 15,000 units the additional ideal capacity of 20% will be utilized, further no fixed cost will be incurred, as the entire fixed cost for 100% capacity is utilized, thus

Sales = 15,000 \times $3 = $45,000

Less: Variable cost = 15,000 \times $2.25 = $33,750

Net Income = $11,250

Thus, the net income will increase by $11,250

Albert transfers land (basis of $140,000 and fair market value of $320,000) to Gold Corporation for 80% of its stock and a note
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

1. Albert has a recognized gain on the transfer of $140,000.

Explanation:

Option D is wrong because Gold corporation has a basis in the land of Albert's recognized gain plus the cost of the value of land's Albert. Therefore, $140,000 + $140,000 = $280,000.

Option A is correct because, under the recognized gain clause 357(C), the mortgage on the land exceeds the cost of value of the land by $(200,000 - $140,000) = $60,000. Moreover, Alberta has received $80,000 additional from notes payable. So, total recognized gain on the transfer = $80,000 + $60,000 = $140,000.
