worty [1.4K]

Answer:

In simple words, Retired, incapacity, as well as survivor payments are all part of the Social Security program. In its nature, it is very much like a defined benefit pension plan.

Most employees contribute Social Security levies on their income to apply for many of these claims; claimants' advantages are dependent on the wages earner's payments. Aside from that, benefits like Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are dependent on use.

PRO FORMA INCOME STATEMENT Austin Grocers recently reported the following 2016 income statement (in millions of dollars): Sales
padilas [110]

Answer:

Net income = $169.2

Growth in dividend = 76.25%

Explanation:

The projected figures are as below:

Sales = $700 x (1 + 15%) = $805 <em>(15% increase in sales)</em>

Operating costs including depreciation = $805 x 60% = $483 <em>(60% of sales)</em>

Interest expense = 40 <em>(remain constant)</em>

EBIT = Sales - Operating costs including depreciation = $805 - $483 = $322

EBT = EBIT - Interest expense = $322 - $40 = $282

Net income = EBT x (1 - Tax rate) = $282 x (1 - 40$) = $169.2

Dividend = Net income x Dividend payout ratio = $169.2 x (32/96) = $56.4

Growth in dividend = $56.4/$32 = 76.25%
