When a large, well-known corporation wishes to borrow directly from the public, it can:

Acompany's income statement showed the following: net income, $145,000 and depreciation expense, $36,300. an examination of the company's current assets and current liabilities showed the following changes as a result of operating activities: accounts receivable decreased $11,500; merchandise inventory increased $22,200; and accounts payable increased $5,500. calculate the net cash provided or used by operating activities. $209,500 $139,000 $176,100 $186,500 $142,100

Annuity payments are assumed to come at the end of each payment period (termed an ordinary annuity). however, an exception occurs when the annuity payments come at the beginning of each period (termed an annuity due). what is the future value of a 13-year annuity of $2,800 per period where payments come at the beginning of each period? the interest rate is 9 percent. use appendix c for an approximate answer, but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods. to find the future value of an annuity due when using the appendix tables, add 1 to n and subtract 1 from the tabular value. for example, to find the future value of a $100 payment at the beginning of each period for five periods at 10 percent, go to appendix c for n = 6 and i = 10 percent. look up the value of 7.716 and subtract 1 from it for an answer of 6.716 or $671.60 ($100 × 6.716)

Vintage fun reproduces oldminusfashioned style roller skates and skateboards. the annual production and sales of roller skates is 950 units, while 1,750 skateboards are produced and sold. the company has traditionally used direct labor hours to allocate its overhead to products. roller skates require 2.5 direct labor hours per unit, while skateboards require 1.25 direct labor hours per unit. the total estimated overhead for the period is $114,300. the company is looking at the possibility of changing to an activityminusbased costing system for its products. if the company used an activityminusbased costing system, it would have the following three activity cost pools: the overhead cost per skateboard using the traditional costing system would be closest to: a. $9.31. b. $65.31. c. $25.05. your answer is not correct.d.
