Answer:

$25,400

Explanation:

Equity which represents the amount owed to the owners of the business includes retained earnings (which is the accumulation of the net income/loss over the years less dividends paid) and common shares.

The movement in the retained earnings balance may be expressed as

Opening balance + net income - cash dividend paid = closing retained earnings balance

Cash dividend declared - Cash dividend paid =  Cash dividend payable

$49,000 - Cash dividend paid = $23,600

Cash dividend paid = $49,000 - $23,600

= $25,400

Suppose Luther Industries is considering divesting one of its product lines. The product line is expected to generate free cash
erik [133]

Answer:

$61,127,596

Explanation:

formula for the value of operations =

[Free Cash Flows (1 + growth rate)] / (WACC - growth rate)

where

We have D/E = 2 or D=2*E  (debt-equity ratio)

Tax = T=35%,

Ks=10%,

Kd =7%

Kd*(1-T) = 7%*(1-35%) = 4.55%

WACC = Kd*(1-T)*(D/(D+E)) + Ks*(E/(D+E))

WACC = 4.55%*(2E/3E) + 10%*(E/3E)

WACC = 4.55%*(2/3) + 10%*(1/3)

WACC = 6.37%

Value of Ops = 2000000*(1+3%)/(6.37%-3%)

Value of Ops = $61,127,596

to be profitable it must receive for the product line $61,127,596

Leslie works as customer service representative for Lighthouse Point Lanterns. Her job is to fulfill customer orders and answer
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

a performance reward.

Explanation:

A performance reward is a type of employee reward system. Companies generally reward employees in an attempt to motivate them to work more, harder or more efficiently. E.g. a company may reward salespeople that close 100 sales per week, regardless of the type of sales made. This type of reward is based on the gross amount of work carried out by the employee.

In Leslie's case, she is being rewarded for being an efficient employee. The parameter for measuring her efficiency is that 80% of the test calls that she makes are handed properly. She is not rewarded on the number of test calls, but instead on how she handled them.

Consider the effects of inflation in an economy composed of only two people: Charles, a bean farmer, and Dina, a rice farmer. Ch
Fantom [35]

Answer:

1) Suppose that in 2017 the price of beans was $2 and the price of rice was $8.

  • a) inflation rate = 100%
  • b) both are unaffected

old price of beans = $1, new price $2, inflation rate 100%

old price of rice = $4, new price $8, inflation rate 100%

The inflation rate measures the change in the general price level of an economy during a certain period of time, in this case during a year from 2016 to 2017.

Since Gilberto produces beans and Juanita produces rice, and the price of both of their products increase equally (100%), then the inflation rate will not affect them. Their consumption levels also remain the same, no one decided to consume more of one product and less of the other.

2) Now suppose that in 2017 the price of beans was $2 and the price of rice was $4.80.

  • a) 60%
  • b) Charles is better off while Dina is worse off

old price of beans = $1, new price $2, inflation rate 100%

old price of rice = $4, new price $4.80, inflation rate 20%

average inflation rate = 60%

Since Charles produces beans, and the price of his products increased a lot, he will be better off, while Dina will be worse off since the price of rice increased much less.

3. Now suppose that in 2017, the price of beans was $2 and the price of rice was $1.60.

  • a) 20%
  • b) Charles will be better off, Dina will be worse off

old price of beans = $1, new price $2, inflation rate 100%

old price of rice = $4, new price $1.60, inflation rate -60%

average inflation rate = 20%

4) What matters more to Charles and Dina?

  • The relative price of rice and beans is more important to Charles and Dina.
