When comparing the three broad types of economic systems, it can be said that for a pure market economy to function efficiently,
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

These statements are correct:

In a command economy, state-owned enterprises have little incentive to control costs and be efficient.

In a command economy, the absence of competition means that state-owned enterprises do not have incentive to be efficient. This is because In command economies, these companies are most of the time monopolies who have a safer market to sell their products, because consumers lack choice.

Mixed economies were once uncommon throughout much of the world, although they are becoming more popular now.

Most economies now are mixed: in part free market economies, in part command economies. For example, in most developed countries, most sectors are left for private companies to compete, but a few areas are still directly controlled by the government, either fully or partially (for example: the healthcare sector, and education).

avanturin [10]

Answer:

Total amount of dividends paid over the last three years is $20500

Explanation:

The net income of the company is either retained in the company or paid out as dividends. To calculate the value of the ending retained earnings, we use the following formula,

Ending balance = Beginning balance + Net Income - Dividends

We first need to calculate the total net income for the 3 year period. The total net income for the 3 year period is, 3 * 6500 = $19500

Plugging in the available values for the ending and beginning balance of retained earnings and net income, we can calculate the value of total dividends paid for the three year period.

15000 = 16000 + 19500 - Dividends

Dividends = 35500 - 15000

Dividends = $20500
