XYZ Corporation had 158 million shares outstanding on January 1, 2012. On February 2,2012, it issued an additional 30 million shares to the market at the market priceof $55 per share. What was the effect of this share issue on the price per share
Answer:
There was no effect of this share issue on the price per share
Explanation:
First, we need to determine the pre-issuance value
Numbers of outstanding shares = 158,000,000 shares
Total Value of equity = Numbers of outstanding shares x Market value per share = 158,000,000 shares x $55 per share = $8,690,000,000
Now calculate the issuance values
Numbers of shares issued = 30,000,000 shares
Vaue of issued equity = NUmbers of shares issued x Mrket value per share = 30,000,000 x $55 per share = $1,650,000,000
Now determien the post issuance value
Numbers of outstanding shares = 158,000,000 shares + 30,000,000 shares = 188,000,000 shares
Total Value of equity = $8,690,000,000 + $1,650,000,000 = $10,340,000,000
Now calcuate the Value per share
Value per share = Post Issuance Total value of equity / Post issuance total numbers of shares = $10,340,000,000 / 188,000,000 shares = $55 per share
There is no effect of share issue on the price of the share.

Sunland has recorded monthly depreciation of the equipment on the straight-line method. On December 31, 2020, the equipment was sold for $160000. As a result of this sale, Sunland should recognize a gain of
Answer:
$54,820
Explanation:
The computation of the gain is shown below;
But before that following calculations must be done
Annual depreciation as per the straight-line method
= ($690,000 - $40,200) ÷ (10 years)
= $64,980
Now accumulated depreciation for 9 years is
= $64,980 × 9 years
= $584,820
Now the book value is
= $690,000 - $584,820
= $105,180
Now the gain is
= Sale value - book value
= $160,000 - $105,180
= $54,820

Jax Company's (a monthly depositor) tax liability (amount withheld from employees' wages for federal income tax and FICA tax plus the company's portion of the FICA tax) for July was $1,210. No deposit was made by the company until August 24, 20--. Determine the following:
Note: Round your answers to the nearest cent and assume 365 days in a year.
a. The date by which the deposit should have been made August 25
b. The penalty for failure to make timely deposit $________
c. The penalty for failure to fully pay tax when due $________
d. The interest on taxes due and unpaid (assume a 4% interest rate) $________
Answer:
A. 15th August
B. 60.5
C. 6.05
D. 1.19
Explanation:
Let assume that during the lookback period, you reported a tax rate of $50000 or less. It implies that you're a monthly depositor(based on schedule) and all taxes much be deposited on or before the 15th day of the next month.
Inability to meet up with the timely deposit has penalty based on their tiers.
For 1 - 5 days late = 2% of upaod depsot
6 - 15 late = 5% on tax payment
15 days late = 10% on deposits
10 days late of IRS = 15% on deposit
Since no deposits were made till Aug 24, then deposit has been delayed by 9 days (i.e. Aug 15 - 24)
Thus, the penalty for making timely deposit = 1210 × 0.05 = 60.5
Inability to pay the penalty = 0.5 percent per month ( for unpaid taxes).
So, the penalty for failure of fully paid tax = 120 × 0.5% = 6.05
Assuming a 4% interest rate; the interest on taxes due & unpaid is
= 1210 × 0.04 × 9/365
= 1.19
Therefore, the total penalty imposed = 60.5 + 6.05 + 1.19 = 67.74

Answer:
Dr cash $25,200
Dr accumulated depreciation $13,000
Cr equipment $37,000
Cr profit on disposal $1,2000
Explanation:
The yearly depreciation expense on the equipment is computed thus:
depreciation=(cost-residual value)/useful life
cost=$37000
residual value=$4,500
useful life= 5 years
depreciation=($37000-$4500)/5
depreciation=$6,500
accumulated depreciation for 2 years=$6,500*2=$13,000
Cash proceeds from disposal=$25,200
Upon disposal, we would debit cash with $25,200 as well as accumulated depreciation with $13,000 while the equipment account is credited with the original cost of $37,000
Total debits=$25,200+$13,000=$38,200
total credit=$37,000

In the fall of 2014, China and the United States agreed to expand the Information Technology Agreement to drop tariffs on a number of technology products. This is an example of_________ reducing protectionist measures.
Answer:
Free trade policy.
Explanation:
Trade can be defined as a process which typically involves the buying and selling of goods and services between a producer and the customers (consumers) at a specific period of time.
In the fall of 2014, China and the United States agreed to expand the Information Technology Agreement to drop tariffs on a number of technology products. Therefore, this is an example of free trade policy reducing protectionist measures.
Free trade policy includes the adoption and implementation of tariffs and quotas between countries.
Trade policies tariffs and quotas will most likely benefit domestic producers of the protected good and harm domestic consumers of the protected good as they're made to pay for the consumption of imported products. Hence, under free trade there are more societal benefits due to the specialization of domestic goods.
Tariffs can reduce both the volume of exports and imports in a country.
In order to generate revenues, domestic government make use of tariffs while quotas do not generate any revenue for them.

Concerned by recent negative trends in economic indicators such as the consumer price index, gross domestic product, and inflation, the marketing manager of Kevin's Kayaks recommends that the company reduce its advertising spending. His recommendation is based on ________ data.
Answer:
Macroeconomics.
Explanation:
Economics can be classified into two (2) main categories, namely;
1. Microeconomics can be defined as the study of the effect of price and quantity levels through interactions between individual buyers and sellers in various markets. Simply stated, it focuses on analyzing or evaluating the decisions of consumers (buyers) and those of firms (sellers) such as methods of production, pricing; and the manner in which government policies affect those decisions.
2. Macroeconomics can be defined as the study of behaviors, performance and factors that affect the entire economy. Therefore, it focuses on aggregate phenomena such as price level, economic growth, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), inflation, unemployment and national income levels with respect to the central bank, demand or supply shocks, government policies, aggregate spending and savings.
In this scenario, concerned by recent negative trends in economic indicators such as the consumer price index, gross domestic product, and inflation, the marketing manager of Kevin's Kayaks recommends that the company reduce its advertising spending. Thus, his recommendation is based on macroeconomics data.
This ultimately implies that, macroeconomic is a form of externality that typically affects the levels of inflation, unemployment, consumer price index, or growth in the economy as a whole (GDP).
