The total value of dividends paid to the shareholders of Wi-Fi, Inc. for the year given the change in retained earnings and income is $20,000.

<h3>What is the dividend paid?</h3>

Dividend is the amount paid to shareholders of a public company out of the net income earned by a company in a particular period.

Dividend paid = net income - change in net income

Change in net income = $130,000 - $100,000 = $30,000

Dividend paid = $50,000 - $30,000 = $20,000

Terrell Trucking Company is in the process of setting its target capital structure. The CFO believes that the optimal debt-to-ca
Semenov [28]

Answer:

a. Terrell's Optimal Capital Structure is 40:60. It means to obtain optimal capital structure in-order to increase value of firm, Terrell should finance 40% of its Assets through Debt and remaining through Common Equity.

b. The optimal Capital Structure is the point where company's WACC is minimized. So, 40:60 is the ratio where Terrell's WACC will be minimized.

Explanation:

The goal of Management is to increase Shareholders' wealth and not to generate profits because wealth is something that is for long-run whereas Profits are temporary. Management would accept projects having negative NPV if its goal is to maximize Profit.

Maximizing Shareholders' wealth means to increase the Share Price whereas Generating a higher EPS is Profit Maximization Strategy. So, you should look for that Capital Structure Point where the Company's Stock Price is Highest.

Assume the macro islands can produce either 25 fishing boats or 150 jars of guava jelly in one hour. the micro islands can produ
LenKa [72]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": the Macro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing fishing boats, and the Micro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing guava jelly.

Explanation:

Comparative advantage is an advantage an individual, organization or country has to use <em>opportunity costs</em> in their production compared to their competitors. The scenario described above does not imply that the individual, organization or country has an absolute advantage.

In the example proposed:

  • Comparative advantage of Macro islands in fishing boats = \frac{25}{150}=  0.17
  • Comparative advantage of Micro islands in fishing boats = \frac{30}{300} = 0.10

  • Comparative advantage of Macro islands in jars = \frac{150}{25} = 6
  • Comparative advantage of Micro islands in jars = \frac{300}{30} = 10

Thus, <em>the Macro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing fishing boats, and the Micro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing guava jelly.</em>

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

(C) perfectly inelastic.

Explanation:

Elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price.

Demand is perfectly inelastic if a change in price has no effect on quantity demanded. Quantity demanded remains unchanged no matter the change in price.

Water is assumed to be a necessity so demand would not change no matter the change in price.

Demand is inelastic when a change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded.

Demand is elastic when a change in price has a greater effect on the quantity demanded.

Demand is unitary elastic when a change in price has an equal erfect on quantity demanded.
