Answer: E. Statement 1 is false and statement 2 is true.
Explanation:
Statement 1 is false because when bonds are sold in the secondary market, the issuing company does not get anything from it. That is because sales in the secondary market are between bond holders and those who would like to buy the bond. For the company to make money from a bond issue, they would have to issue it in the Primary Market where it would come directly from them.
Statement 2 is true because when the coupon rate of a bond is higher than it's YTM, it signals that the bond is a PREMIUM bond which means that it is selling at a rate above Par. It is a measure showing that the bond is not very risky therefore investors charge less on the bond than the coupon rate. If the Coupon rate was lower than the YTM that would mean that investors consider the bond risky and so are charging more to hold it and this would reduce the price of the bond below it's face value.
How Hard The Day, Inc. makes a product that has the following direct labor standards: Standard direct labor-hours 1.4 hours per unit Standard direct labor rate $ 12.00 per hour The company budgeted for production of 5,400 units in January, but actual production was 5,500 units. The company used 6,800 direct labor-hours to produce this output. The actual total direct labor cost was $82,960. The direct labor efficiency variance for January is:
Answer:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $10,800 favorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard direct labor-hours 1.4 hours per unit
Standard direct labor rate $ 12.00 per hour
Actual production was 5,500 units.
The company used 6,800 direct labor-hours to produce this output.
To calculate the direct labor efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Standard quantity= 5,500*1.4= 7,700
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (7,700 - 6,800)*12
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $10,800 favorable

A bidding firm, A, is worth $27,000 as a stand-alone entity. A target firm, B, is worth $12,000 as a stand-alone entity, but $18,000 if it is acquired and integrated with Firm A. Several other firms are interested in acquiring Firm B, and Firm B is also worth $18,000 if it is acquired by these other firms. If A acquired B, would this acquisition create value? If yes, how much? How much of this value would the equity holders of A receive? How much would the equity holders of B receive?
Answer and Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
Firm A’s worth as a stand-alone entity = $27,000
Firm B’s worth as a stand-alone entity = $12,000
But if Firm A acquired Firm B it’s increase worth of Firm B at $18000.
Firm A is acquired Firm B, this acquisition create value of
= $18,000 - $12000
= $6000.
With this acquisition equity holders of Firms received $18,000 which is $6,000 more than Firm B stand alone.

The equipment was expected to have a useful life of three years, or 20,000 operating hours, and a residual value of $6,600. The equipment was used for 8,700 hours during Year 1, 7,380 hours in Year 2, and 3,920 hours in Year 3. Required: 1. Determine the amount of depreciation expense for the three years ended December 31 by (a) the straight-line method, (b) the units-of-activity method, and (c) the double-declining-balance method. Also determine the total depreciation expense for the three years by each method. (Note: For STRAIGHT-LINE ONLY, round the first two years to the nearest whole dollar, then round the third year as necessary. For DECLINING BALANCE ONLY, round the multiplier to five decimal places. Then round the answer for each year to the nearest whole dollar.) 2. What method yields the highest depreciation expense for Year 1
Answer:
Straight-line method: $36,667 yearly depreciation expense for 3 years. Unit-of-production method: Year 1 - $47,850, Year 2 - $40,590, Year 3 - $21,560Double-declining method: Year 1 - $77,737, Year 2 - $25,910, Year 3 - $6,353Total for 3 years is $110,000 for all the depreciation methods.
Explanation:
(A) Under straight-line method, depreciation expense is (cost - residual value) / Estimated useful life = ($116,600 - $6,600) / 3 years = $36,667 yearly depreciation expense.
Accumulated depreciation for 3 years is $36,667 x 3 years is $110,000.
(B) The unit-of-production method is used when the asset value closely relates to the units of output it is able to produce. It is expressed with the formula below:
(Original Cost - Salvage value) / Estimated production capacity x Units/year
At Year 1, depreciation expense (DE) is: ($116,600 - $6,600) / 20,000 operating hours x 8,700 hours = $47,850
At Year 2, depreciation expense (DE) is: ($116,600 - $6,600) / 20,000 operating hours x 7,380 hours = $40,590
At Year 3, depreciation expense (DE) is: ($116,600 - $6,600) / 20,000 operating hours x 3,920 hours = $21,560
Accumulated depreciation for 3 years is $47,850 +$40,590 + $21,560 = $110,000.
Note that this depreciation method results in higher depreciation charge when the asset is heavily used, at this time, it was in Year 1.
(C) The double-declining method is otherwise known as the reducing balance method and is given by the formula below:
Double declining method = 2 X SLDP X BV
SLDP = straight-line depreciation percentage
BV = Book value
SLDP is 100%/3 years = 33.33%, then 33.33% multiplied by 2 to give 66.67% or 2/3
At Year 1, 66.67% X $116,600 = $77,737
At Year 2, 66.67% X $38,863 ($116,600 - $77,737) = $25,910
At Year 3, 66.67% X $12,953 ($38,863 - $25,910) = $8,636. This depreciation will decrease the book value of the asset below its salvage value $12,953 - $8,636 = $4,317 < $6,600. Depreciation will only be allowed up to the point where the book value = salvage value. Consequently the depreciation for Year 3 will be $6,353.
Accumulated depreciation for 3 years is $77,737 + $25,910 + $6,353 = $110,000.
If a firm has retained earnings of $2.7 million, a common shares account of $4.7 million, and additional paid-in capital of $9.4 million, how would these accounts change in response to a 10 percent stock dividend? Assume market value of equity is equal to book value of equity.
Answer:
Change in retained earnings = $1.02 million (Decrease)
Change in common shares account = $5.17 million (Increase)
Change in additional paid-in capital = $10.61 million (Increase)
Explanation:
Given:
Retained earnings = $2.7 million
Common shares account = $4.7 million
Additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million
Stock dividend = 10%
Find:
Changes in account.
Computation:
1. Change in retained earnings
Change in retained earnings = Retained earnings - (Retained earnings - Common shares account - Additional paid-in capital)Stock dividend
Change in retained earnings = $2.7 million - ($2.7 million - $4.7 million - $9.4 million)10%
Change in retained earnings = $2.7 million - 1.68 million
Change in retained earnings = $1.02 million (Decrease)
2. Change in common shares account
Change in common shares account = Common shares account (1+Stock dividend)
Change in common shares account = $4.7 million (1+10%)
Change in common shares account = $5.17 million (Increase)
3. Change in additional paid-in capital
Change in additional paid-in capital = Additional paid-in capital + (Additional paid-in capital + Retained earnings)Stock dividend
Change in additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million + ($9.4 million + $2.7 million)10%
Change in additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million + 1.21 million
Change in additional paid-in capital = $10.61 million (Increase)
Vaughn Manufacturing expects to purchase $180000 of materials in July and $170000 of materials in August. Three-fourths of all purchases are paid for in the month of purchase, and the other one-fourth are paid for in the month following the month of purchase. How much will August's cash disbursements for materials purchases be?
Answer:
The August's cash disbursements for materials purchases would be
$172,500.00 for Vaughn Manufacturing
Explanation:
The cash disbursements in the month of August consist of the three-fourth cost of the August purchases and the one-fourth of the July purchases since the 3/4 of the cost of materials purchased is paid in the same month as purchases and the balance of 1/4 of purchase cost in the succeeding month
Cash disbursements in August=($170,000*3/4)+($180,000*1/4)=$127500 +$45,000=$172,500.00

3. Inventories (raw materials only): beginning, 10,120 pounds; ending, 15,480 pounds.
4. Selling and administrative expenses: $170,000; interest expense: $30,000.
5. Income taxes: 30% of income before income taxes.
Prepare a schedule showing the computation of cost of goods sold for 2020.
Answer:
COST OF Goods SOLD $ 1,1539,110
Explanation:
Fultz Company
Schedule of Cost of Goods Sold for 2020
As there are no beginning and ending finished goods inventories the total units produced are sold. (Finished Goods required 31410 Units)
Inventories raw materials : beginning, 10,120 pounds
Add Direct Materials Purchases 36770 pounds
Less Inventories ending raw materials , 15,480 pounds
Direct Materials Used 31410 pounds
Materials 1 pound at $6 per pound= $ 6* 31410 Units= $ 188460
Direct labor 3 hours at $12 per hour= $ 36* 31410 Units= $ 1130780
Manufacturing Overhead $7 per direct labor hour= $ 7* 31410 Units=
$ 219870
Total Manufacturing Costs $ 1,1539,110
There are no beginning and ending work in process inventories so the total manufacturing cost gives us the COST OF Goods SOLD.

Stellar Plastics is analyzing a proposed project with annual depreciation of $19,500 and a tax rate of 34 percent. The company expects to sell 12,000 units, plus or minus 5 percent. The expected variable cost per unit is $3.20 plus or minus 4 percent, and the expected fixed costs are $30,000 plus of minus 2 percent. The sales price is estimated at $7.50 a unit, plus or minus 4 percent. What is the operating cash flow for a sensitivity analysis using total fixed costs of $31,000
Answer:
$20,226
Explanation:
expected sales = 11,400 - 12,000 - 12,600
expected sales price = $7.20 - $7.50 - $7.80
expected variable cost = $3.072 - $3.20 - $3.328
total fixed costs = $31,000
if you use an excel spreadsheet you can calculate all the different possible simulations and combine all the expected sales x 3 different price levels x 3 different variable costs and 1 fixed cost. Once you get all the 27 possible solutions, you just get the average.

Brooke and John formed a partnership. Brooke received a 40% interest in partnership capital and profits in exchange for contributing land (basis of $30,000 and fair market value of $120,000). John received a 60% interest in partnership capital and profits in exchange for contributing $180,000 of cash. Three years after the contribution date, the land contributed by Brooke is sold by the partnership to a third party for $150,000. What gain must Brooke recognize on the land contribution when establishing the partnership
Answer:
$102,000
Explanation:
According to 26 US code Section 704(c) - Partner's distributive share :
Taxable gain to be recognized from sale = Sale value - ( Partner's share * Fair market value )
Brooke contributed the land, the gain realized before the land was contributed = $120,000 - $90,000 will be allocated entirely to her. She will also be allocated 40% of the gain after the contribution was made = ($150,000 - $120,000) x 40% = $30,000 x 40% = $12,000.
So the total gain recognized by Brooke will be $90,000 + $12,000 = $102,000.
Partnerships are pass through entities, the partners are taxed, not the partnership itself.

Integrate biblical insights into your discussion board thread. In what way does scripture influence our decision to work
Answer:
The labor force is the group of individuals for employment. The labor force investment rate is the proportion of labor force partitioned by all out populace of the applicable age. As per month to month work survey, the labor force support rate keeps on falling. As indicated by different market analysts, this wonder is because of the blend of segment, basic, and repetitive elements. Also, due to LFPR , the support of youth and the primary age bunch is required to decay. Likewise, the investment paces of laborers of more seasoned age are additionally anticipated to increment, yet remain essentially lower than those of the prime age group. These aspects have applied descending weight on the general labor force support proportion over the 2012–2022 time period and the proportion is relied upon to decrease further, to 61.6% in 2022.
The drawn out issue of joblessness is because of repetitive and auxiliary reasons, when numerous individuals the segment organization of a nation mirrors the portions of men, ladies, and the distinctive age, race, and ethnic gatherings inside that populace. The case of the time of increased birth rates age in segment change influences the labor force investment rate. Consistently after 2000, the portion of the time of increased birth rates populace has moved into the 55-years-and-more seasoned age bunch which transfers from the principal age gathering to one with considerable lesser investment proportions, origins the general cooperation of the labor force to decay.
Markley Manufacturing calculated its predetermined overhead rate to be 120% of direct labor cost. During June, the company incurred $90,000 of factory labor costs, of which $85,000 is direct labor and $5,000 is indirect labor. Actual overhead incurred was $84,000. Compute the amount of manufacturing overhead applied during the month. Determine the amount of under- or over-applied manufacturing overhead.
Answer:
Applied Manufacturing Overheads are $102,000
Overapplied Manufacturing overheads are $18,000
Explanation:
Under or over applied manufacturing overhead can be determined by comparing the actual and applied manufacturing overheads.
Applied overheads can be calculated by multiplying pre-determined overhead rate and actual level of quantity. Predetermined overhead rate is calculated using estimated overhead and estimated activity on which overheads are applied.
In this question the predetermined overhead rate is 120% of direct labor cost.
Applied overhead = Direct labor cost x 120% = $85,000 x 120% = $102,000
Actual overheads incurred = $84,000
Overapplied Manufacturing overheads = $102,000 - $84,000 = $18,000

Managers estimate that this investment will have a 10-year life and generate net cash inflows of $ 300 comma 000 the first year, $ 290 comma 000 the second year, and $ 240 comma 000 each year thereafter for eight years. Assume the project has no residual value. Compute the ARR for the investment. Round to two places
Answer:
42,51%
Explanation:
Accounting Rate of Return (ARR) = Average Profits / Average Investment
Calculation of Average Profits
Average Profit = Sum of Profits / Number of Years
= (300,000+290,000+240,000×8)/10
= $2,510,000 / 8
= $313,750
Calculation of Average Investment
Average Investment = Initial Investment + Scrape Value / 2
= $1,476,000/2
= $738,000
Accounting Rate of Return (ARR) = $313,750/$738,000×100
= 42,51%

Medallion Cooling Systems, Inc., has total assets of $9,800,000, EBIT of $2,050,000, and preferred dividends of $201,000 and is taxed at a rate of 40%. In an effort to determine the optimal capital structure, the firm has assembled data on the cost of debt, the number of shares of common stock for various levels of indebtedness, and the overall required return on investment:
Capital structure/debt Cost of debt Number of stock shares Rate of return
0% 0% 200,000 12.3%
15 7.8 175,000 13.1
30 9.1 140,000 14.2

Calculate earnings per share for each level of indebtedness.
Answer:
Earnings per share:
0% debt = $5.145 per share
15% debt = $5.487 per share
30% debt = $6.203 per share
45% debt = $6.386 per share
60% debt = $6.570 per share
Explanation:
The earnings per share is the monetary value of how much each share of common stock outstanding has earned. The earnings per share can be calculated by dividing the Net Income attributable to common stockholders by the number of common stock shares outstanding.
Net Income attributable to Common stockholders = Net Income - Preferred stock dividends
Thus, Earnings per share = (Net Income - Preferred stock dividends) / Number of common stock shares outstanding
To calculate Earnings per share at each level of indebtedness, we first need to calculate the net income at each debt level. The net income will change as interest is deducted before calculating net income.
Net Income = EBIT - interest - tax
Total debt = Total assets * weightage of debt in capital structure
Tax = EBT * tax rate
a. 0% debt
Net Income = 2,050,000 - 0 - (2050000 * 0.4) = $1,230,000
Earnings per share = (1230000 - 201000) / 200000 = $5.145 per share
b. 15% debt
Total debt = 9,800,000 * 0.15 = 1470000
EBT = 2,050,000 - (1470000 * 0.078) = $1935340
Net Income = 1935340 - ( 1935340 * 0.4) = $1161204
Earnings per share = (1161204 - 201000) / 175000 = $5.487 per share
c. 30% debt
Total debt = 9,800,000 * 0.30 = 2940000
EBT = 2050000 - (2940000 * 0.091) = $1782460
Net Income = 1782460 - (1782460 * 0.4) = $1069476
Earnings per share = (1069476 - 201000) / 140000 = $6.203 per share
d. 45% debt
Total debt = 9,800,000 * 0.45 = 4410000
EBT = 2050000 - (4410000 * 0.121) = $1516390
Net Income = 1516390 - (1516390 * 0.4) = $909834
Earnings per share = (909834 - 201000) / 111000 = $6.386 per share
e. 60% debt
Total debt = 9,800,000 * 0.60 = 5880000
EBT = 2050000 - (5880000 * 0.152) = $1156240
Net Income = 1156240 - (1156240 * 0.4) = $693744
Earnings per share = (693744 - 201000) / 75000 = $6.570 per share
If the distribution of water is a natural monopoly, then a. a single firm cannot serve the market at the lowest possible average total cost. b. multiple firms would likely each have to pay large fixed costs to develop their own network of pipes. c. allowing for competition among different firms in the water-distribution industry is efficient. d. average cost increases as the quantity of water produced increases.
Answer:
The correct option is C) If the distribution of water is a natural monopoly, average cost increases as the quantity of water produced increases.
Explanation:
Natural monopoly occurs when there is a hig cost of entry into a particular market niche. The high cost is usually caused by expensive equipment and infrastructural set up for manufacturing as well as maintenance costs.
Therefore, If the distribution of water is a natural monopoly, average cost increases as the quantity of water produced increases.
Distribution of water falls into the category of natural monopoly. Due to the prevailing circumstances, Fixed cost is larger comparable to variable cost such that it is cheaper for a single firm to serve the market.

D. aggregate demand curve will shift right. The new equilibrium will be A. where the original aggregate demand curve intersects the original short-run aggregate supply curve. B. where the new aggregate demand curve intersects the original short-run aggregate supply curve. C. where the new aggregate demand curve intersects the original aggregate demand curve.
Answer:
As a result of higher interest rates, the
B. aggregate demand curve will shift left.The new equilibrium will be
B. where the new aggregate demand curve intersects the original short-run aggregate supply curve.Explanation:
A contractionary monetary policy will increase the interest rates, lowering investment and consumption. This will result in a leftward shift of the aggregate demand curve.
The new equilibrium (E1) will be at the point where the new aggregate demand curve (AD1) intersects the original short run aggregate supply curve (SRAS) and the long run aggregate supply curve (LRAS).
At the beginning of 2020, Vaughn Company acquired a mine for $1,965,400. Of this amount, $115,000 was ascribed to the land value and the remaining portion to the minerals in the mine. Surveys conducted by geologists have indicated that approximately 11,010,000 units of ore appear to be in the mine. Vaughn incurred $195,500 of development costs associated with this mine prior to any extraction of minerals. It also determined that the fair value of its obligation to prepare the land for an alternative use when all of the mineral has been removed was $46,000. During 2020, 2,433,000 units of ore were extracted and 2,081,000 of these units were sold.
Compute the total amount of depletion for 2020.
Answer:
$462,270.00
Explanation:
The first task is to determine the depletion rate per unit of ore extracted from the mine.
depletion rate=total cost the mine/total units of ore extract
total cost of mine=acquisition cost-land value+development costs+removal cost
total cost of mine=$1,965,400-$115,000+$195,500+$46,000=$2,091,900.00
total units of ore extract is 11,010,000 units
depletion rate= 2,091,900.00/11,010,000=$0.19 per unit of ore
depletion amount in 2020=depletion rate*ore extracted in 2020=2,433,000*$0.19 =$462,270.00
Answer:
$408,903
Explanation:
Depletion is an estimated cost of a natural resource that is extracted. This resource is expensed as the extraction is made.
As per given data
Total Payment = $1,965,400
Land Value = $115,000
Value of Rights = $1,965,400 - $115,000 = $1,850,400
Estimated resources = 11,010,000 units
Resources extracted in the period = 2,433,000 units
Depletion expense is based on ratio of the amount of extraction in period to the total expected resource.
Depletion Expense = $1,850,400 x 2,433,000 / 11,010,000 units = $408,903

Frederick Company has two service departments (Cafeteria Services & Maintenance). Frederick has two production departments (Assembly Department & Packaging Department.) Frederick uses a step allocation method where Cafeteria Services is allocated to all departments and Maintenance Services is allocated to the production departments. All allocations are based on total employees. Cafeteria Services has costs of $255,000 and Maintenance has costs of $175,000 before any allocations. What amount of Maintenance total cost is allocated to the Packaging Department? (round to closest whole dollar) Employees are: Cafeteria Services 4 Maintenance 5 Assembly Department 10 Packaging Department 10
Answer:
The Total allocation of maintenance cost of packaging department is $87,500
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
The Total Maintenance cost is $175,000 before allocation.
Total employees of in Production Department is= 10 Assembly + 10 Packaging= 20
Hence, Total maintenance cost per employee = $175,000 / 20
Total maintenance cost per employee =$8,750
Therefore, the Total allocation of maintenance cost of packaging department= Total maintenance cost per employee× Employees Packaging Department
Total allocation of maintenance cost of packaging department=$ 8,750 X 10 employees= $87,500
On January 1, 2021, the Blackstone Corporation purchased a tract of land (site number 11) with a building for $600,000. Additionally, Blackstone paid a real estate brokerâs commission of $36,000, legal fees of $6,000, and title insurance of $18,000. The closing statement indicated that the land value was $500,000 and the building value was $100,000. Shortly after acquisition, the building was razed at a cost of $75,000.
Blackstone entered into a $3,000,000 fixed-price contract with Barnett Builders, Inc., on March 1, 2021, for the construction of an office building on land site 11. The building was completed and occupied on September 30, 2022. Additional construction costs were incurred as follows:
Plans, specifications, and blueprints .....................$ 12,000
Architectsâ fees for design and supervision ............95,000
To finance the construction cost, Blackstone borrowed $3,000,000 on March 1, 2021. The loan is payable in 10 annual installments of $300,000 plus interest at the rate of 14%. Blackstoneâs average amounts of accumulated building construction expenditures were as follows:
For the period March 1 to December 31, 2021 ...........$ 900,000
For the period January 1 to September 30, 2022 .......2,300,000
Required:
1. Prepare a schedule that discloses the individual costs making up the balance in the land account in respect of land site 11 as of September 30, 2022.
2. Prepare a schedule that discloses the individual costs that should be capitalized in the office building account as of September 30, 2022.
Answer:
Blackstone Corporation
1. A schedule that discloses the individual costs making up the balance in the land account in respect of land site 11 as of September 30, 2022:
Cost of Land = $600,000
Broker's Commission = $36,000
Legal Fees = $6,000
Title Insurance = $18,000
Razing of old building = $75,000
Total = $735,000
2. A schedule that discloses the individual costs that should be capitalized in the office building account as of September 30, 2022:
Payment to contractor for building = $3,000,000
Plans, specifications, and blueprints = $12,000
Architect's fees (design & supervision = $95,000
Capitalized Interest ($3m x14%/10 x 2) = $84,000
Total = $3,191,000
Explanation:
a) The cost of land to recognize includes the actual cost for the parcel of land, including the building which was razed. All other expenses incurred ordinarily and necessarily in order to put the land to its intended use are also capitalized. The costs for the broker's commission, legal fees, title insurance, and razing of old building were incurred ordinarily and necessarily for the land and are therefore capitalized in determining the value of the land.
b) The capitalized interest portion for the building is the interests paid to date. The contractor's fee, payments for plans, architect's fee, and interests are included as costs of the building.
Consider two independent firms, BU1 and BU2, which transact with each other through spot market transactions in a competitive market. In a typical year, BU1 incurs total costs of $2 million in producing goods that BU2 buys. BU2 would be willing to pay up to $7.5 million for these goods, but because of the competitive market, ends up paying $5 million. What is the value captured by BU1 from these transactions?
Answer:
Value captured by BU1 = $5.5 million
Explanation:
Given:
Two firm = BU1 , BU2
BU1 cost of production = $2 million
BU2 will able to pay up-to = $7.5 million
BU2 will pay = $5 million:
Find:
Value captured by BU1 = ?
Computation:
⇒ Value captured by BU1 = BU2 will able to pay up-to - BU1 cost of production
⇒ Value captured by BU1 = $7.5 million - $2 million
⇒ Value captured by BU1 = $5.5 million
Based on the information given the value captured by BU1 from these transactions is $3 million.
The value captured by the seller (BU1)
Seller value =Value BU1 is willing to sell -Value at which he sold
Where:
Value BU1 is willing to sell=$5 million
Value at which he sold=$2 million
Let plug in the formula
Seller value=$5 million-$2 million
Seller value= $3 million
Inconclusion the value captured by BU1 from these transactions is $3 million.

Suppose that the standard deviation of monthly changes in the price of commodity A is $2. The standard deviation of monthly changes in a futures price for a contract on commodity B (which is similar to commodity A) is $3. The correlation between the futures price and the commodity price is 0.9. What hedge ratio should be used when hedging a one month exposure to the price of commodity A
Answer:
0.6
Explanation:
Correlation r = 0.9,
Standard deviation of monthly change in price of commodity A, σA = 2,
Standard deviation of monthly change in price of commodity B, σB = 3
The hedge ratio will be calculated using the formula
Hedge ratio=r×σA÷σB
Hedge ratio=0.9×2÷3
Hedge ratio = 0.6
Therefore, the hedge ratio used when hedging a one month exposure to the price of commodity A is 0.6.

Answer:
($26,280)
This represents net cash used up by investing activities
Explanation:
The cash flow statement categories the company's transactions in a financial period into 3 groups; these are operating, investing and financing.
The net profit/loss, depreciation, changes in current assets (other than cash) and liabilities are considered as operating activities including income taxes.
The sale of assets, interest received, purchase of investments are examples of investing activities while the issuance of stocks, debt principal deduction (loan settlement), issuance of debt securities etc are examples of financing activities.
An increase in assets other than cash is an outflow while an increase in liabilities is an inflow and vice versa.
Hence net cash provided by investing activities
= $4380 - $30660
= ($26,280)
Other activities are operating and financing activities.
