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

The General Fund levies property taxes in the amount of $1,000,000 for calendar year 2019. It expects to collect $950,000 during
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

Under the accrual basis, it should recognize $1,000,000 as property tax revenue for the year 2019.  The remaining $45,000 that it does not collect in year 2019 will be accounted for as Property Tax Receivable while the $5,000 will be recorded as Uncollectible Expense in 2019.

Explanation:

The accrual concept or basis of accounting requires that all revenues and expenses relating to a fiscal year be recognized in that accounting year.  It is not only the actual cash receipts and payments that should be recognized.  This means that any revenue that is due but not yet received will be accounted for in the year that the revenue arises.  And all the related expenses for raising the revenue will also be accounted for in the same year.

Hilltop Paving has a levered equity cost of capital of 14.92 percent. The debt-to-value ratio is 0.4, the tax rate is 34 percent
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

c. 12.56%

Explanation:

Debt-to-value=D/(D+E) =0.4=> D=0.4D + 0.4E => 0.6D = 0.4E => D/E=4/6=2/3

According to M&M proposition II with taxes,

re=r0+(D/E)(r0-rd)(1-Tax rate) . Where re= levered cost of equity(or cost of equity when the firm is levered)=.1492, r0 = unlevered cost of equity,Tax rate=34%=.34, rd=pretax cost of debt=7.2%=0.072,D/E=2/3

re = r0+(2/3) * (r0 - 0.072)*(1-.34)

=> 0.1492=r0(1+(2/3)*(1-.34)) -(2/3)*(.072)*(1-.34)

=> 0.1492 = r0(1+0.44) -0.03168

=> 0.1492 = 1.44*r0 -0.03168

r0 = (.1492+0.03168)/1.44

r0 =0.1256

r0 =12.56%

Thus, r0=unlevered cost of equity=12.56%

If the United States imports more than it exports, then this means that Group of answer choices the demand for dollars is likely
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

the supply of dollars is likely to exceed the demand in the foreign exchange market, ceteris paribus.

Explanation:

In Economics, there are primarily two (2) factors which affect the availability and the price at which goods and services are sold or provided, these are demand and supply.

The law of demand states that, the higher the demand for goods and services, the higher the price it would be sold all things being equal. On the other hand, law of supply states that the higher the price of goods and services, the lower the supply.

Trade can be defined as a process which typically involves the buying and selling of goods and services between a producer and the customers (consumers) at a specific period of time.

If the United States imports more than it exports, then this means that the supply of dollars is likely to exceed the demand in the foreign exchange market, ceteris paribus.

Generally, when import exceeds export there would be a deficit in the financial account of the country.

Hence, a deficit on the current account is because the value of goods and services exported is lower than the value of goods and services being imported in a particular country.
