Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Audit is an independent examination of records,financial statements or process in order to give report to the party that has commissioned the audit

Explanation:

Audit can be of the three types highlighted in the question.

Audit of financial statements involves an external auditor examining the financial statements of clients i.e the income statement,statement of financial position.the cash flow statement as well statement of changes in equity e.t.c with a view to expressing an opinion on whether the financial statements show a true and fair view of the performance of the organisation audited and sometimes whether they were prepared in line with generally accepted accounting standards such as US GAAP.

Compliance audit is simply to find out whether the person audited has conformed with certain laid down policies and procedures such as the policies to follow in granting credit facilities to bank customers.

Process audit is about examining a process to see if the steps taken by the person carrying the tasks are logical and to find out areas for improvement in order to cut down time and resources used.

Explanation:

Cash Dividends: The amount of cash that the company paid to its shareholders as a return of the investing made by the investors.

Common Stock: Ordinary shares that a company issued to the investors hoping to raise funds to the operation of the company.

As return, the investors receive a share of profit that are paid as dividends to each of them, if the company issued preferred share, then the shareholders of common stocks are not guaranteed and are paid after the  

payment made to the preferred stock.

Preferred Stock: The stock gives to the investors a fixed amount of return, which is called, dividend, to its stockholder before paying dividends to common sotckholders.

FarCry Industries, a maker of telecommunications equipment, has 6 million shares of common stock outstanding, 1 million shares of preferred stock outstanding, and 10 thousand bonds. If the common shares are selling for $27 per share, the preferred shares are selling for $15 per share, and the bonds are selling for 119 percent of par ($1,000), what weight should you use for debt in the computation of FarCry's WACC?

Answers

Answer:

Market value of common stock (6,000,000 x $27) =$162,000,000                                                                

Market value of preferred stock (1,000,000 X $15) = $15,000,000                                                                

Market value of debt (10,000 x $1,190)                    =  $11,900,000

Market value of the company                                      $188,900,000

Weight of debt in the capital structure

= $11,900,000/$188,900,000 x 100

=  6.299% = 6.30%                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

Explanation:

In this case, there is need to calculate the market value of the company, which is the aggregate of market value of common stock, market             value of preferred stock and market value of debt. The market value of each stock is obtained by multiplying the number of units outstanding by the current market price per stock.  The weight of debt is determined by                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                dividing the market value of debt by the market value of the company.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

Identify each of the following statements about linear programming problems as true or false, and then justify your answer.a. For minimization problems, if the objective function evaluated at a CPF solution is no larger than its value at every adjacent CPF solution, then that solution is optimal.
b. Only CPF solutions can be optimal, so the number of optimal solutions cannot exceed the number of CPF solutions.
c. If multiple optimal solutions exist, then an optimal CPF solu-tion may have an adjacent CPF solution that also in optimal.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

a. The given statement is true as the corner point at the objective function should be feasible solution which is no longer as compared with the value for every adjacent CPF solution as compared with its optimal

b. The given statement is false as the solution can be an edge

c. The given statement is true as it shows the direct relation between the two things

Final answer:

In linear programming problems, CPF solutions can be optimal and if multiple optimal solutions exist, an optimal CPF solution may not have an adjacent CPF solution that is also optimal.

Explanation:

a. True: For minimization problems, if the objective function evaluated at a CPF solution is no larger than its value at every adjacent CPF solution, then that solution is optimal. This is because in a minimization problem, the goal is to find the solution that minimizes the objective function.

b. True: Only CPF solutions can be optimal, so the number of optimal solutions cannot exceed the number of CPF solutions. CPF stands for Corner-Point Feasible, which means solutions that lie on the corner points of the feasible region.

c. False: If multiple optimal solutions exist, an optimal CPF solution may not have an adjacent CPF solution that is also optimal. This is because adjacent CPF solutions may have different objective function values.

The classical dichotomy is the separation of real and nominal variables. The following questions test your understanding of this distinction. Rina spends all of her money on comic books and beignets. In 2011 she earned $14.00 per hour, the price of a comic book was $7.00, and the price of a beignet was $2.00.
Which of the following give the nominal value of a variable? Check all that apply.
__ Rina's wage is 2 comic books per hour in 2011.
__The price of a beignet is $2.00 in 2011.
__ Rina's wage is $14.00 per hour in 2011.
Which of the following give the real value of a variable? Check all that apply.
__Rina's wage is $14.00 per hour in 2011.
__The price of a comic book is 3.5 beignets in 2011.
__Rina's wage is 7 beignets per hour in 2011.
Suppose that the Fed sharply increases the money supply between 2011 and 2016. In 2016, Rina's wage has risen to $28.00 per hour. The price of a comic book is $14.00 and the price of a beignet is $4.00.
In 2016, the relative price of a comic book is ( 0.29 beignets, 3.5 beignets, $4.00, $14.00)
Between 2011 and 2016, the nominal value of Rina's wage (decreases, increases, remains the same) and the real value of her wage(decreases,increases,remains the same) .
Monetary neutrality is the proposition that a change in the money supply (does not affect, affect) nominal variables and ( does not affect, affect) real variables.

Answers

Answer:

Real variable

__ Rina's wage is 2 comic books per hour in 2011. 

Nominal variable

__The price of a beignet is $2.00 in 2011. 

__ Rina's wage is $14.00 per hour in 2011. 

Relative price of comic books - 3.5 beignets

Nominal value of Rina's wage increases

Real value of Rina's wage  stages the same.

Monetary neutrality is the proposition that a change in the money supply ( affect) nominal variables and ( does not affect, ) real variables.

Explanation:

Nominal value is the face value or stated value.

Real value is nominal value adjusted for inflation. Real value of money also refers to the amount of goods and services money can buy.

Relative price is the price of a good in relation to another good.

The relative price of comic books in 2016 to biegnets = $14 / $4 = 3.5

Rina's income increased from $14 in 2011 to $28 in 2016. Her nominal income increased.

But the purchasing power of her income fell. In 2011 , her income could buy :

$14 / $7 = 2 comic books

Or

14 / 2 = 7 beignets

But in 2016, her income would buy:

$28 / $14 = $l2

Or

$28 / $4 = 7

We can see that her purchasing power remains the same.

I hope my answer helps you
