Answer:
Explanation:
These terms are culled from Balance sheet and Balance sheet have two sides, The Debit and Credit side. The debit side contain the Capital, Current Liabilities among others and The Credit side contain The Fixed asset and the Current asset
The amount of Net working capital is derived from Current asset - Current Liability
Net working capital = Current asset - Current Liability
Where Current asset = Total asset - Net Fixed asset= 43,400-24,800 = 18,600
Where Current Liability = 11,700
Therefore, Net working capital = $18,600 - $11,700 = $6,900
The amount of the net working capital = $6,900
At the beginning of a semester, a group of five students (Marcus, Gerard, Penelope, Zendaya, and Duane) are asked to order a snack that the teacher will deliver to the students free of charge before the first class of the tenth week of the semester. The three choices are an apple, a banana, or a Snickers candy bar. The teacher collects the orders and finds that two students have ordered an apple, two students have ordered a banana, and one student has ordered a Snickers candy bar. The four students who ordered either an apple or a banana cite health consciousness as the reason for their choice. Immediately before the orders are scheduled to be delivered, the teacher informs the students that they can switch their choice and order something else from the original menu if they wish, or they can receive what they originally ordered. Which of the following scenarios is the best example of inconsistent intertemporal decision-making?A. Gerard ordered a banana and switched to an apple when prompted.
B. Duane ordered a Snickers candy bar and did not change his choice when prompted.
C. Penelope ordered an apple and switched to a banana when prompted.
D. Zendaya ordered a banana and switched to a Snickers candy bar when prompted.

Granger Company had January 1 inventory of $150,000 when it adopted dollar-value LIFO. During the year, purchases were $900,000 and sales were $1,500,000. December 31 inventory at year-end prices was $189,750, and the price index was 110. What is Granger Company’s gross profit?
Answer:
$624, 750
Explanation:
Purchases = 900,000
Sales = 1500000
Price index = 110%
Inventory= 189750
1,500,000 - [{($150,000 x 110%) + $900,000} - $189,750]
=1,500,000 - [($150,000 x 1.1) + $900,000] - $189,750
= 1,500,000 - (1065000 - 189750)
= 1,500,000 - 875250
=$624,750
Gross profit. = $624750
At an output level of 12,200 units, you have calculated that the degree of operating leverage is 3.20. The operating cash flow is $67,100 in this case. Ignore the effect of taxes. What will be the new degree of operating leverage for output levels of 13,200 units and 11,200 units
Answer:
For 13,200, the Operating Leverage is 3.46.
For 11,200, the Operating Leverage is 2.94.
Explanation:
The first step is to calculate the Contribution Margin per unit:
Operating Leverage = (# of units * Contribution margin per unit) / Net Operating income
Here,
Number of Units are 12,200 Units
Net Operating income $67,100
Operating Leverage is 3.2
By putting values, we have:
3.2 = (12,200 Units * Contribution margin per unit) / $67,100
(3.2 * $67,100) / 12,200 Units = Contribution margin per unit
Contribution margin per unit = $17.6 per unit
For 13,200 units:
By putting value of units and keeping other variables constant, we have:
Operating Leverage = (13,200 units x $17.60 per unit) / $67,100
Operating Leverage = 3.46
For 11,200 units:
By putting value of units and keeping other variables constant, we have:
Operating Leverage = (11,200 units * $17.60 per unit) / $67,100
Operating Leverage = 2.94
suppose dave's discount merchandise inventory account showed a balance of 8000 before the year end adjustments. The physical count of goods on hand totaled 7400. Dave uses a perpetual inventory system. To adjust the accounts, which entry would the company make
Answer:
Cost of goods sold DR 600
Merchandise inventory CR 600
Explanation:
A perpetual inventory system is a method of inventory management that is used in order to records real-time transactions of received or sold stock. In this system, based on the information provided the company would make the following entry
Cost of goods sold DR 600
Merchandise inventory CR 600
This is because there is a difference on physical goods on hand of 600, meaning that they sold that amount throughout the year. Which is made as a Cost of Goods Sold entry. The company also needs to enter the amount of goods that have been acquired by a distributor, wholesaler, or retailer from suppliers which would be the same.
Salaries for professions (such as architect or medical doctor) that require a long period of study are typically higher than those for other jobs. The reasons for this are all of the following EXCEPT __________.a. students sacrifice a good deal of present incomeb. status deserves more reward in the form of wagesc. long periods of schooling incur greater current costsd. future income is worth less than present income
Answer:
d. future income is worth less than present income
Explanation:
Remember, since we want an exception to all the possible reasons for higher salaries of those in medical and architectural profession, we carefully examine the reasons given.
However, in no way is it because those of this profession (architect, medical doctors) would earn future income worth less than their present income a basis for their higher salaries than other jobs, since most often they earn more as they the years goes by in their profession.
Discount-Mart issues $19 million in bonds on January 1, 2021. The bonds have a seven-year term and pay interest semiannually on June 30 and December 31 each year. Below is a partial bond amortization schedule for the bonds: Date Cash Paid Interest Expense Increase in Carrying Value Carrying Value 01/01/2021 $ 17,233,953 06/30/2021 $ 950,000 $ 1,034,037 $ 84,037 17,317,990 12/31/2021 950,000 1,039,079 89,079 17,407,069 06/30/2022 950,000 1,044,424 94,424 17,501,493 12/31/2022 950,000 1,050,090 100,090 17,601,583 What is the market annual rate of interest on the bonds
Answer: 12%
Explanation:
The semi annual market rate of interest on the bonds will be the interest expense divided by the carrying value i.e issue price of bond which is then multiplied by 100%. This will be mathematically expressed as:
= 1,034,037/17,233,953 × 100
= 0.06 × 100
= 6%
This implies that the semi annual market interest rate is 6%.
Since we are told to calculate the market annual rate of interest on the bonds, we multiply the value of 6% by 2 since 12 months make a year and we used 6 months for the calculation above which is semi annual. This will be:
= 6% × 2
= 12%
Therefore, the market annual rate of interest on the bonds is 12%
Taggart Technologies is considering issuing new common stock and using the proceeds to reduce its outstanding debt. The stock issue would have no effect on total assets, the interest rate Taggart pays, EBIT, or the tax rate. Which of the following is likely to occur if the company goes ahead with the stock issue?

Total allocated overhead= $2,081,094
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
For 2017, the company had 11,300 orders and used 51,200 machine hours, and labor hours totaled 491,000
Overhead rates for each activity:
Ordering and receiving= $7.22 per order
Food processing= $7.79 per machine hour
Packaging= $3.26 per labor hour
To allocate overhead, we need to use the following formula:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Ordering and receiving= 7.22*11,300= $81,586
Food processing= 7.79*51,200= $398,848

Total overhead= $2,081,094
The following information ($ in millions) comes from a recent annual report of Amazon, Inc.:
Net sales $10,722
Total assets 4,417
End of year balance in cash 1,104
Total stockholders' equity 503
Gross profit (Sales - Cost of Sales). 2,458
Net increase in cash for the year 19
Operating expenses 2,062
Net operating cash flow 772
Other income (expense), net (30)
a. Compute Amazon's balance in cash at the beginning of the year.b. Compute Amazon's total liabilities at the end of the year.c. Compute cost of goods sold for the year.d. Compute the income before income tax for Amazon.
Answer:
(a) Amazon's balance in cash at the beginning of the year is $1,085 million
(b) Amazon's total liabilities at the end of the year is $3,914 million
(c) Cost of goods sold for the year is $8,264 million
(d) Income before income tax for Amazon is $366 million
Explanation:
(a) Beginning cash balance = Ending cash balance - net increase in cash for the year
= $1,104 million - $19 million
= $1,085 million
(b) Total assets = Total liabilities + Total stockholders' equity
$4,417 million = Total liabilities + $503 million
Total liabilities = ($4,417 - $503) million
= $3,914 million
(c) Cost of goods sold = net sales - gross profit
= $10,722 million - $2,458 million
= $8,264 million
(d) Income before income tax = Gross profit - operating expenses - other expenses
= $2,458 million - $2,062 million - $30 million
= $ 366 million

Explanation:
Given
Adger Corporation
Fixed Element Variable Element Actual Total
per Month per Customer Served for May
Revenue $5,000 $160,000
Employee Salaries
& wages $50,000 $1,100 $88,000
Travel expenses $600 $19,000
Other expenses $36,000 $34,500
There were 35 customers.
Revenue = $5000 per customer
We can easily calculate as we have been given the number of customers and the variable element of expense per customer.
1. Total Revenue in May = 5000 * 35= $ 175,000
Variable Salaries & wages = $ 1100 per customer
Total Variable Salaries & wages = $ 1100 *35= $ 38500
2. Total Salaries & wages For May = Variable + Fixed
= $ 38500 + $50,000= $ 88500
Travel expenses = $600per customer
3. Total Travel Expenses for May = $ 600 *35= $21,000
4. Other Expense = Fixed Expenses = $ 36,000 ( there are no variable expenses)
5. Operating Income= Revenue - Employee Salaries - Travel Expenses
= $ 175,000- $ 88500 - $ 21,000= $ 65,500
Other expenses are included in the net income statement not operating income statement.

g Real and nominal variables are highly intertwined, and changes in the money supply change real GDP. Most economists would agree that this statement accurately describes a. both the short run and the long run. b. the short run, but not the long run. c. the long run, but not the short run. d. neither the long run nor the short run.
Answer:
The correct answer is C.
Explanation:
GDP usually, is fixed in the short run. Thus, in the short-term, money supply will increase aggregate demand and prices will follow.
In the long term, however, real GDP (which is economic output that has been adjusted for price fluctuations), an increase in the money supply will create an increase in the GDP due to aggregate demand.
The US economy, for example, displays a strong positive correlation between the amount of money supplied and it's GDP growth between 1994 and 2009.

Artville is deciding whether to purchase a new statue for the center of town. The statue will cost the city $17,000 and will only be purchased if the costs are covered. The city is asking for households to help cover the cost of the statue, but households are not forced to contribute.
Required:
a. If households are asked to contribute $5 each to help cover the cost of the statue, how many households will need to contribute?
b. If the population of Artville is 4,000 households, of which 3,000 households are expected to free ride, will the city be able to afford the statue if it charges each household $14?
Answer: a. $3,400 households
b. No.
Explanation:
a. The cost of the statue is $17,000 and each household is asked to contribute $5 to help cover the cost. To find out how many families one can divide the amount needed by the amount asked of the households,
= 17,000/5
= 3,400 households
If 3,400 households each pay $5 then the town of Artville will be able to afford the statue.
b. This question speaks to a social problem referred to a the Free-rider problem. This is when people in society benefit from something without contributing fairly towards the benefit they are accruing from the thing. 3,000 households out of 4,000 are expected to be free-riders. This means that only 1,000 will cover the cost of the statue.
If those 1,000 households pay the $14 required, the town would only raise,
= 1,000 * 14
=$14,000
$14,000 is less than the cost of the statue which is $17,000 and so the town of Artville will have to do without a statue as they simply cannot afford one.
A local government awards a landscaping company a contract worth $1.5 million per year for five years for maintaining public parks. The landscaping company will need to buy some new machinery before they can take on the contract. If the cost of capital is 6%, what is the most that this equipment could cost if the contract is to be worthwhile for the landscaping company
Answer:
The equipment should not cost more than $6,318,545.68
Explanation:
The most that the land scrapping equipment could cost is the present of the 1.5 million annuity discounted at 6% p.a.
Present Value of Annuity = A × ( 1- (1+r)^(-n))/r
A- 1,500,000, n- 5, r- 6%
=1, 500,000 × ((1.06)^(-5))/0.06
= $6,318,545.68
The equipment should not cost more than $6,318,545.68

Both are qualified charitable organizations. Disregarding percentage limitations, Zeke's charitable contribution deduction for the year is
Answer:
$56,250.
Explanation:
So, we are given the following data or parameters or information which we will use to solve this particular problem or Question;
=>" Used clothing of taxpayer and his family (all acquired more than a year ago) = $1,350 for Basis and Fair market value = $ 375 "
=> "Stock in ABC, Inc., held as an investment for 15 months 12,000 for Basis and 10,875 for fair market value."
=>" Stock in MNO, Inc., held as an investment for 11 months 15,000 for Basis and 18,000 for fair market value. "
=> "Real estate held as an investment for two years 15,000 for basis and 30,000 for fair market value."
Zeke's charitable contribution deduction for the year can be calculated by adding the the fair markets values of :
Used clothing of taxpayer and his family (all acquired more than a year ago) + Stock in ABC, Inc., held as an investment for 15 months + Real estate held as an investment for two years
Then, the result gotten will be added to the Basis value for Stock in MNO, Inc., held as an investment for 11 months. Thus;
$ 375 + 10,875 + 30,000 = 41,250.
41,250 + 15,000 = $56,250.
Oriole Company has the following items: common stock, $1610000; treasury stock, $217000; deferred income taxes, $254000 and retained earnings, $782000. What total amount should Oriole Company report as stockholders’ equity?
Answer:
Stockholders' equity = $ 2,175,000.
Explanation:
Stockholders' equity is also the corporation's total book value. In other word, it is the amount of difference between the Corporation Asset and its liability
Stockholders' equity for Oriole company can be derived using : Common stock + Retained earnings - Treasury stock
Stockholders' equity = 1,610,000 + 782,000 - 217,000
Stockholders' equity = $ 2,175,000.
We also need to know that deferred income taxes is not a component of stockholders' equity thus it will not be considered in stockholders' equity calculation.
Correct answer is $ 21,75,000.
Linguini Inc. adopted dollar-value LIFO (DVL) as of January 1, 2018, when it had an inventory of $841,000. Its inventory as of December 31, 2018, was $874,000 at year-end costs and the cost index was 1.15. What was DVL inventory on December 31, 2018
Answer:
760,000
Explanation:
First find ending inventory at base pricing:
$874,000/1.15 = 760,000
Calculate real dollar increase/decrease in quantity
760,000-841,000 = -81,000
Since it is a decrease in quantity, you use prior period cost index. Prior period is the base year so you just use 1.0 which means that -81,000 stays the same
so now it is 841,000-81,000=760,000
The dollar-value LIFO (DVL) inventory on December 31, 2018 will be 760,000.
What is dollar-value LIFO (DVL) inventory?The latest in, first out cost layering principle is a version on which the dollar-value LIFO method is based. In essence, the technology aggregates cost data for huge quantities of inventory, eliminating the need to create unique cost layers for each inventory item. Instead, pools of inventory goods are organized into layers.
Find ending stock at base prices first:
$874,000/1.15 = 760,000
Determine the actual dollar gain or decrease in the amount.
760,000-841,000 = -81,000
Using the preceding period cost index is appropriate because the quantity has decreased. Since the prior period is the base year, you only need to utilize 1.0, so that -81,000 remains the same.
Consequently, it is now 841,000-81,000=760,000.

Suppose a stock had an initial price of $92 per share, paid a dividend of $2.30 per share during the year, and had an ending share price of $75.50. a. Compute the percentage total return. (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What was the dividend yield
Answer:
(a) Percentage return = -$14.20 ÷ $92 = -15.43%
(b) Dividend Yield = $2.30 ÷ $92 = 2.50%
Explanation:
Initial price per share= $92.00
Ending share price = $75.50
Capital loss = $75.50 - $92.00 = -$16.50
Dividend = $2.30
Net return = -$16.50 + $2.30 = -$14.20
(a) Percentage return = (-$14.20 ÷ $92) × 100% = -15.43%
(b) Dividend Yield = ($2.30 ÷ $92) × 100% = 2.50%
Speed, size, and strength are thought to be important factors in football performance. The article "Physical and Performance Characteristics of NCAA Division I Football Players" (Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport [1990]: 395–401) reported on physical characteristics of Division I starting football players in the 1988 football season. Information for teams ranked in the top 20 was easily obtained, and it was reported that the mean weight of starters on top-20 teams was 105 kg. A random sample of 33 starting players (various positions were represented) from Division I teams that were not ranked in the top 20 resulted in a sample mean weight of 103.3 kg and a sample standard deviation of 16.3 kg. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean weight for non-top-20 starters is less than 105, the known value for top-20 teams?
Answer:
no
Explanation:
H0: mean of sample=105
Ha: mean of sampe≠ 105
t-statistic= (population mean-sample mean)/(standard deviation/√sample size)
t-statistic= (105-103.3)/(16.3/√33)
t-statistic= 0.5991
degress of freedom= 32
for alpha 0.05, p-value from t-distributino table is 1.697
since t-statistic is less than the p-value, null hypothesis is accepted.
There is no sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean weight for non-top-20 starters is less than 105 the known value for top-20 teams
Cash dividend payments were $25,000. Long-term investments were sold for $79,000 cash. A building costing $198,000 was purchased using $19,800 cash, and the balance was financed with a mortgage note payable. Stock was issued to stockholders in exchange for $110,000 cash. A $44,000 loan was made to a local inventory supplier; the loan will be repaid in twelve months. Equipment used in operations was sold for $37,000. Repaid a long-term note payable for $92,000 cash. Cash received from short-term bank loans totaled $71,000. Determine Smith’s cash flows from investing activities.
Answer:
$4,200
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Cash dividend payments = $25,000.
Cash from selling of Long-term investments = $79,000.
Cash used for purchasing a building costing $198,000 = $19,800
Sale of equipment = $37,000
Long term note payable = $92,000 cash
Now,
The net cash from investing activities will be
= sale of long term investments - purchase of building + sale of equipment - purchase of investments
= $79,000 - $19,800 + $37,000 - $92000
= $4,200.
Also assume that a U.S. exporter denominates its Swiss exports in Swiss francs and expects to receive SF250,000 in 1 year. Using the information above, what will be the approximate value of these exports in 1 year in U.S. dollars given that the firm executes a forward hedge
Answer:
The question is missing some key features such the relevant forward rates which are found in the attached complete question:

A 5-year corporate bond yields 10.70%. A 5-year municipal bond of equal risk yields 6.50%. Assume that the state tax rate is zero. At what federal tax rate are you indifferent between the two bonds? (Round your final answer to two decimal places.)
Answer:
The multiple choices are as follows:
a.
25.40%
b.
29.03%
c.
39.25%
d.
33.98%
e.
27.38%
The correct option is C,39.25% federal tax rate
Explanation:
In determining the federal tax that one would be indifferent in choosing between the two bonds, we equate the yield of the two bonds as follows with tax element being deducted from corporate bond yield:
6.50%=10.70%*(1-t)
The t is the tax rate which is the unknown
divide both sides by 10.70%
6.50%/10.70%=1-t
0.607476636 =1-t
t=1-0.607476636
t=0.392523364 =39.25%
Lane Company manufactures a single product that requires a great deal of hand labor. Overhead cost is applied on the basis of standard direct labor-hours. Variable manufacturing overhead should be $5.80 per standard direct labor-hour and fixed manufacturing overhead should be $3,087,000 per year.
The company’s product requires 4 pounds of material that has a standard cost of $12.50 per pound and 1.5 hours of direct labor time that has a standard rate of $13.90 per hour.The company planned to operate at a denominator activity level of 315,000 direct labor-hours and to produce 210,000 units of product during the most recent year. Actual activity and costs for the year were as follows:
Number of units produced 252,000
Actual direct labor-hours worked 409,500
Actual variable manufacturing overhead cost incurred $ 1,351,350
Actual fixed manufacturing overhead cost incurred $ 3,276,000
Required:
1. Compute the predetermined overhead rate for the year. Break the rate down into variable and fixed elements.(Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Predetermined Overhead Rate = $15.60 per DLH
Variable Rate = $5.80 per DLH
FIxed Rate = $9.80 per DLH
3a. Compute the standard direct labor-hours allowed for the year’s production.
3b. Complete the following Manufacturing Overhead T-account for the year:
4. Determine the reason for the underapplied or overapplied overhead from (3) above by computing the variable overhead rate and efficiency variances and the fixed overhead budget and volume variances.(Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).)
Answer:
1. Compute the predetermined overhead rate for the year. Break the rate down into variable and fixed elements.
total standard overhead rate = $15.60standard variable overhead rate = $5.80standard fixed overhead rate = $9.803a. Compute the standard direct labor-hours allowed for the year’s production.
1.5 direct labor hours x 252,000 units = 378,000 hours
3b. Complete the following Manufacturing Overhead T-account for the year:
Manufacturing overhead
Debit Credit
Actual variable cost $1,351,350 Applied variable cost $2,192,400
Actual fixed costs $3,276,000 Applied fixed costs $3,704,400
$1,269,450
Adjustment for over applied
overhead expense $1,269,450
0 0
4. Determine the reason for the underapplied or overapplied overhead from (3)
two different factors affected the overhead costs:
Actual labor hours were higher than budgeted, since 378,000 should have been used to produce the 252,000 units, but 409,500 were used instead. That results in an unfavorable variance of 31,500 labor hours (8.3% variance). Even though labor hour variance was unfavorable, the actual overhead costs incurred were much lower than expected. The favorable variance regarding overhead costs was much larger than the unfavorable variance in labor hours. The actual total overhead per labor hour = $11.30 vs. $15.60 (standard), which represents a 27.6% favorable variance.Explanation:
variable overhead $5.80 per direct labor hour
fixed overhead $3,087,000
each unit requires:
4 pounds of materials at standard cost of $12.50 per pound
1.5 direct labor hours at standard rate of $13.90 per hour
fixed overhead per direct labor hour = $9.80
total budgeted production 210,000 units
total budgeted direct labor hours 315,000
actual units produced 252,000
actual direct labor hours 409,500
actual variable manufacturing $1,351,350
actual fixed manufacturing $3,276,000
applied variable cost = $5.80 x 378,000 labor hours = $2,192,400
applied fixed costs = $9.80 x 378,000 labor hours = $3,704,400

G. Attaching a price tag to each product.
H. Issuing an invoice.
I. Developing a corporate advertising campaign.
J. Recalling a defective product.
Answer: Please refer to Explanation
Explanation:
The question seeks to find out the activity level of the above mentioned activities.
There are various activities in an organization and as such they need to be categorized. The various categories include Unit, Batch, Product, Customer, and Organizational.
Unit Activities refer to activities done on a unit level. A singular product level. They include things like putting a logo on a bottle or deriving a single person at a restaurant.
Batch Activities refer to activities done when Units are grouped together and form a batch. Activities done to that batch fall under here.
Product Level Activities refer to those done on a product wide scale. That means that when the entire product is affected, it falls under here. Examples include Product Advertising or Recall.
Customer Level Activities refer to those that an organization engages in for those entities that patronize them. Such activities are very important because the customer is the most important aspect of the business.
Then there are the Organizational level Activities. As the name implies, these are activities at an Organization wide level.
Classifying the above therefore,
A. Setting up a machine for a production run of 500 units. BATCH LEVEL ACTIVITY.
This deals with a group of units, 500 to be precise and so is a batch level activity.
B. Conducting a seminar for local doctors on the benefits of a new drug. PRODUCT LEVEL.
This seminar will speak on the product being the drug as a whole therefore it is product level.
C. Embossing a company logo on every product made. UNIT LEVEL.
This involves an individual unit at a time and so is at Unit Level.
D. Seating a party of 11 at a restaurant. BATCH LEVEL.
The 11 people to be served are individual units that have now been grouped together into one batch so is a Batch Level Activity.
E. Providing technical support for two years following a sale. CUSTOMER LEVEL ACTIVITY.
This is about providing help to the company's customers so it falls under Customer Level Activities.
F. Managing a corporation's accounting department. ORGANIZATIONAL LEVEL ACTIVITY.
This involves the Corporation's entire accounting department and so is Organizational level.
G. Attaching a price tag to each product. UNIT LEVEL.
Attaching prices will be done to each individual unit and so it a Unit level activity.
H. Issuing an invoice. CUSTOMER LEVEL ACTIVITY.
Issuing an invoice is done when a sale is complete. Sales are done to customers so this is a customer Level Activity.
I. Developing a corporate advertising campaign. ORGANIZATIONAL LEVEL ACTIVITY.
This is has to do with advertising the company as a whole and so is an Organizational level Activity.
J. Recalling a defective product. PRODUCT LEVEL ACTIVITY.
By recalling an entire product, this Activity falls under the Product Level because it deals with the product as a whole. For example, Toyota recalling all cars of a certain model for safety reasons.
esterday, Berryman Investments was selling for $50 per share. Today, the company completed a 7-for-2 stock split. If the total market value was unchanged by the split, what is the price of the stock today? Select the correct answer. a. $15.59 b. $12.99 c. $14.29 d. $16.89 e. $11.69
Answer:
The correct option is C, $14.29
Explanation:
A 7-2 stock split means that 7 shares now have the value of 2 shares held previously.
This simply means that a stockholder who had 2 shares before the stock split now has 7 shares.
The price of the share after the stock split the value of 2 shares before stock split divided by 7 shares i.e ($50*2)/7=$ 14.29
The correct option from the multiple choices is $ 14.29
