Answer: d. company directors; shareholders

Explanation: The conduction and management of a business usually involve making controversial decisions or taking actions that might put the business at risk. In a general sense, greater profits calls for greater risks. As such, the business judgement rule states that the board of directors should be allowed to make such decisions without fear of prosecution by shareholders who might object while acknowledging that managers are not capable of making optimal decisions at all times. The rule therefore aid in protecting a business's board of directors from slight legal allegations about the conduct of business. It is thus important because it reflects the principle that company directors, not shareholders, have the greatest latitude to run companies.

Avocado Incorporated just paid a dividend of $3. An analyst expects this dividend to grow at a rate of 12% for the next 3 years.
yuradex [85]

Answer:

The most you should pay for this stock is 126.89

Explanation:

The dividend in years 1 – 3 will grow at 12% and then at 5% forever.  

We had to get the PV for the dividends in years 1-3 (year 3 also includes the estimated future value of the stock).

We used our calculators to find the PV of each year at the 8% discount rate.  Finally we will add them all together to get the final answer.

We find the future dividends using g =12%

Dividend in year 0 --->

Dividend in year 1 ---> 3.36

Dividend in year 2 ---> 3.76

Dividend in year 3 ---> 4.21

Dividend in year 4 ---> 4.43

Now we will calculate the present value of the future dividends using r = 8%

Stock Value assuming constant growth rate  = 147.52 --(a)

PV in year 1 ---> 3.11

PV in year 2 ---> 3.23

PV in year 3 ---> 120.45  --(discounting (a))

= 120.45 + 3.23 + 3.11

= 126.89

pishuonlain [190]
The correct entry to record the cash sales is 

<span>Debit Cash $2058
       credit                   Cash Over and Short $  8
       credit                   Sales                            $2050

The cash over and short will record the amount of cash that is not recorded during the initial transaction. Almost all stores experience cash over and short daily, and usually will be taken monthly from an account set aside by the stores to cover the mistake by its employees.
