2) growing perpetuity- revenues in the first year will be $100. revenues will grow at 5% per year. total costs will be $80 in the first year and will also grow by 5% per year ( assume no depreciation expense). initial net working capital requirements are $20 at startup and will grow by 5% per year. the firm will make a capital expenditure of $250 start up, plus annual expenditures of $10 at the end of the first year and will grow by 5% per year. the firm will have $300 of debt and $100 of equity.
Regardless of which option they choose, the following facts will hold true:
cost of debt = 7% beta = 1.2
tax rate =25% t note rate =3% market return =14%

P21.3 Leader Enterprises Ltd. follows IFRS and has provided the following information:
In 2019, Leader was sued in a patent infringement suit, and in 2020, Leader lost the court case. Leader must now pay a competitor $50,000 to settle the suit. No previous entries had been recorded in the books relative to this case because Leader's management felt the company would win.
A review of the company's provision for uncollectible accounts during 2020 resulted in a determination that 1.5% of sales is the appropriate amount of bad debt expense to be charged to operations, rather than the 2% used for the preceding two years. Bad debt expense recognized in 2019 and 2018 was $33,200 and $14,300, respectively. The company would have recorded $19,800 of bad debt expense under the old rate for 2020. No entry has yet been made in 2020 for bad debt expense.
Leader acquired land on January 1, 2017, at a cost of $70,000. The land was charged to the Equipment account in error and has been depreciated since then on the basis of a five-year life with no residual value, using the straight-line method. Leader has already recorded the related 2020 depreciation expense using the straight-line method.
During 2020, the company changed from the double-declining-balance method of depreciation for its building to the straight-line method because of a change in the pattern of benefits received. The building cost $1.4 million to build in early 2018, and no residual value is expected after its 40-year life. Total depreciation under both methods for the past three years is as follows. Double-declining-balance depreciation has been recorded for 2020.
| Straight-Line | Double-Declining-Balance | |||
| 2018 | $35,000 | $70,000 | ||
| 2019 | 35,000 | 66,500 | ||
| 2020 | 35,000 | 63,175 |
Late in 2020, Leader determined that a piece of specialized equipment purchased in January 2017 at a cost of $75,000 with an estimated useful life of five years and residual value of $5,000 is now expected to continue in use until the end of 2024 and have a residual value of $3,000 at that time. The company has been using straight-line depreciation for this equipment, and depreciation for 2020 has already been recognized based on the original estimates.
The company has determined that a $350,000 note payable that it issued in 2018 has been incorrectly classified on its statement of financial position. The note is payable in annual instalments of $50,000, but the full amount of the note has been shown as a long-term liability with no portion shown in current liabilities. Interest expense relating to the note has been properly recorded.
a. For each of the accounting changes, errors, or transactions, present the journal entry(ies) that Leader needs to make to correct or adjust the accounts, assuming the accounts for 2020 have not yet been closed. If no entry is required, write “none” and briefly explain why. Ignore income tax considerations.
b. Prepare the entries required in part (a) but, where retrospective adjustments are made, adjust the entry to include taxes at 25%.
c. For each of the accounting changes, identify the type of change involved and whether retrospective or prospective treatment is required.

To complete this assignment, choose one of the THREE topics of your choice (see below), do a thorough research and analysis on the topic, write it up, and finally submit it as an attached document. 6. Here are the THREE topics and all you need is to pick the one that is of interest to you
: (i) China and the US have been in serious disputes and disagreements in areas of international trade and commerce. Present a background on the issue (how did this come about and the political positions on both countries), its macroeconomic consequences to both countries and perhaps the rest of the world. I cannot just tell you what to say or what to focus on in this issue, but it is important for you to be thorough. You put the paper together in your own creative manner because there is NO one way to present it. It is absolutely fine if you choose to incorporate graphs / diagrams to support your analysis. However, the paper will be graded on its thoroughness, contents, and logical analysis and it should be free from grammatical errors.
(ii) President Trump's policy and his insistence in building a wall along the borders of the United States and Mexico. Present a thorough background on the issue (how did this come about and the political positions on both countries, perhaps even the rest of the world). Any social / economic consequences on this issue. Again, it is up to you as far as how you want to present it but it is important to be complete and logical in your analysis. The paper will be graded on its thoroughness, contents, and logical analysis and it should be free from grammatical errors.
(iii) The impacts of novel Coronavirus pandemic on the US economy have been devastating. Present a thorough analysis on its impacts since March 2020 up until perhaps the first part of October 2020, primarily focusing on the areas of personal consumption, business investment, unemployment, inflation, GDP, international trade, etc. Be sure to support your analysis with relevant data instead of presenting your personal opinions. Like the requirements of the other two options, it is up to you as far as how you want to present it but it is important to be complete and logical in your analysis.
The paper will be graded on its thoroughness, contents, and logical analysis and it should be free from grammatical errors. The paper should be between 4 and 5 pages in length, typed, double-spaced, and, again

William Smith, Sr., was the founder of Smith Enterprises, Inc. He owns 60% of the stock of Smith Enterprises (60,000 shares of 100,000 shares outstanding, stock basis $100 per share). The value of the stock was recently determined to be about $500 per share. Over the years, William, Sr., has done a very good job of getting his sons and daughters (and even grandchildren) involved in the business, and the other 40% of the Smith Enterprises stock is owned by is two daughters, his son and his granddaughter. William, Sr., has reached the point in his life where he is ready to retire from the family business that he founded. He has done a sufficiently good job of training up the younger generation in the management of the business that he feels able to completely withdraw from the business.
In a few concise, coherent sentences, advise William, Sr., of what steps he needs to take to assure that the tax consequences of the redemption of all of his stock in Smith Enterprises will be treated as a sale of stock (long-term capital gain/loss), rather than as distribution (dividend income). If William, Sr., cannot understand your advise, he will fire you and you will lose a $600,000-per-year client, so make sure that your advise is both correct and coherently presented.

Joeseph Gallo, the founder of the famous wine company that bears his name, said that when he first started selling wine right after Prohibition (laws outlawing the sale of alcohol), he poured two glasses of wine from the same bottle and put a price of 10 cents a bottle on one and 5 cents a bottle on the other. He let people test both and asked them which they wanted. Most wanted the 10-cent bottle, even though they were the same wine.
