A company’s perpetual preferred stock has a par value of $65 per share and it pays a dividend rate of 6.25% per year. The preferred stock’s market value is $58.63 per share and the company’s tax rate is 31%. If the flotation costs for preferred stock are 6.5%, what is the company’s annual cost of new preferred stock financing?
Answer:
Cost of preferred stock=7.41 %
Explanation:
A preferred stock entitles its investor to a fixed amount of dividend for the foreseeable future. The dividend payable by a preferred stock is similar to a perpetuity. Hence, the price of the stock would be the same as the present value of the dividend payable for the foreseeable future.
A preferred stock entitles its owner to a fixed amount of dividend. It is calculated as follows:
Cost of preferred stock = D/P(1-f) × 100
D- Preference dividend
P- stock price
F- flotation cost
Preference dividend = Coupon rate × Nominal value
DATA
Nominal value = $65
Stock price = $58.63
Dividend rate=6.25%
Flotation cost = 6.5%
Preference dividend = 6.25%× 65 = 4.063
Cost of preferred stock =(4.063 /58.63×(1-0.065) × 100 = 7.41 %
Cost of preferred stock=7.41 %

On December 31, 2017, Ball Company leased a machine from Cook for a 10-year period, expiring December 30, 2027. Annual payments of $100,000 are due on December 31. The first payment was made on December 31, 2017, and the second payment was made on December 31, 2018. The present value at the inception of the lease for the 10 lease payments discounted at 10% was $676,000. The lease is appropriately accounted for as a capital lease by Ball.Required:1. Compute the December 31, 2018, amount that Ball should report as a lease liability after the first payment has been made. 2. What portion of this total liability should be classified as a current liability?
Answer:
Explanation:
A capital lease is a lease arrangement in which the lessor agrees to transfer the ownership of an asset to the lessee at the completion of the lease period. During the leasing contract , the lease is treated like an asset in the company's balance sheet
Lease liability at inception = 676,000
Annual payment made on December 2017 =(100,000)
Balance lease liability on 2017 = 576,000
Lease liability on December 2018
Balance on 2017 =576,000
Factor in 10% discount on lease payment
100,000 - (576,000*10%)= 100,000-57,600 = (42,400)
Balance on lease liability = 533,600
The current liability portion =
Factoring in the 10% discount =
100,000 - (533,600*10%) = 100,000 - 53,360 = 46,640
On January 1, Garcia Supply leased a truck for a three-year period, at which time possession of the truck will revert back to the lessor. Annual lease payments are $12,000 due on December 31 of each year, calculated by the lessor using a 4% discount rate. Negotiations led to Garcia guaranteeing a $31,600 residual value at the end of the lease term. Garcia estimates that the residual value after four years will be $30,200.
What is the amount to be added to the right-of-use asset and lease liability under the residual value guarantee?
Answer:
The lease liaiblity will include additional 45,134.39 dollars for the residual value guarantee
Explanation:
We need to add to the present value of the lease payment, the present value of the guaranteed residual value as this is part of the lease liaiblity as well.
Maturity 60,400.00
time 5.00
rate of 0.06
PV 45,134.39
The gain or loss based on the residual value will be considered at the end of the useful life of the truck. The expected fair value at the end of the lease has no relevance

If Stillman worked half year in state P and the other half in state M, then he would need to register in both states. But since this is not the case, then registering in state P should be enough.

Yoko is defining her company's performance evaluation process. Which process requirement would help her organization most effectively evaluate employees? Ensure that subjective performance indicators are used. Ensure that minimal time is spent on evaluation. Ensure that distributive justice does not apply. Ensure that evaluators are not burdened with accountability for the evaluations. Ensure that performance standards are not vague.
Answer:
Option E. Ensure that performance standards are not vague.
Explanation:
Option E is correct because if the performance standards are not vague and are realistic then the evaluation will be more fair. It will also not demotivate the employees as they will be accepting what went wrong.
Option A is incorrect because we can use both subjective and objective performance indicators.
Option B is incorrect because ensuring less time to appraise the performance means that the appraiser hasn't acknowledged the full scenario hence the evaluation wasn't fair.
Option C is incorrect because distributive justice must be applied. As it helps in acknowleging what the organization has done wrong with the employees that has resulted in poor performance.
Option D is incorrect because if the performance indicators are not representative of tasks for which the person was accountable then the evaluation is not fair. I will be held accountable for things which I wasn't deligated responsibility. Hence employee must be accountable for the responsibility deligated.

John and Fred owned, as joint tenants with right of survivorship, business property that they purchased for $40,000. John furnished one fourth of the purchase price and Fred furnished three fourths of the purchase price. Depreciation deductions allowed before Fred's death were $8,000. Under local law, each had a one half interest in the income from the property. At the time of Fred's death, the fair market value of the property was $80,000, three fourths of which is includable in Fred's estate. What is John's basis in the property at the date of Fred's death
Answer:
$66,000
Explanation:
Given the following :
Property pur has price = $40000
John's portion of purchase price = 1/4 = (1/4 * 40000) = $10,000
Fred's portion = 3/4 = 0.75 * 40,000 = $30,000
Depreciation allowed before Fred's death = $8000
Each beared half :
That is ; (0.5 * $8000) = $4000 each
Fair market value of property at the time of Fred's death = $80,000
Portion owned by Fred at the time = 3/4
0.75 * $80,000 = $60,000
At this time, John has taken up full ownership :
Basis = $6000 + $60,000 = $66,000
