Inessa [10]

                           Currents Assets
Current Ratio=  -------------------------
                           Current Liabilities

So in this problem the current assets and current liabilities are given which are the following:
   CA= $593,000,000
   CL= $316,000,000

Let's now solve  $593,000,000 / $316,000,000 = 1.88

If a stock is purchased for $100 per share and held one year, during which time a quarterly dividend of $1.5 is paid, each quart
xenn [34]

Answer:

Total yield or rate of return is 0.36 or 36%

Explanation:

To calculate rate of return which is also the total yield on the stock, we will use the following formula,

Total Yield = (D + C) / P0

Where,

  • D represents dividends paid by the stock during the year
  • C is the capital appreciation(pr depreciation) or rise(or fall) in the price of the stock as compared to the purchase price
  • P0 is the purchase price or price in Year 0

Total dividends for the year = 1.5 * 4 = $6

C = 130 - 100 = $30

Total Yield = (6 + 30) / 100

Total yield = 0.36 or 36%

Initially, suppose Bellissima uses 1 million hours of labor to produce rye and 3 million hours to produce jeans, while Dolorium
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Bellisima's opportunity cost:  

Production of rye per million hours of labor = 24 / 12 = 2 pairs of jeans

Production of jeans per million hours of labor = 12 / 24 = 0.5 bushels of rye

Dolorium's opportunity cost:  

Production of rye per million hours of labor = 32 / 8 = 4 pairs of jeans

Production of jeans per million hours of labor = 8 / 32 = 0.25 bushels of rye

Dolorium has a comparative advantage in the production of jeans while Bellisima has a comparative advantage in the production of rye.

If both countries specialize:

Bellisima will produce 48 million bushels of rye.

Dolorium will produce 128 million pairs of jeans.

Total production of rye has increased by 12 million bushels.

Total production of jeans has increased by 24 million pairs.

The numerator of the return on common stockholders' equity is_____________. a.income before income tax b.operating income minus
elena-s [515]

The numerator of the return on common stockholders' equity is net income minus preferred dividends.

Option d

<u>Explanation:</u>

Return on common stockholders' equity which is also named as return on equity (ROE) ratio evaluates the accomplishment of a company in resulting income for the benefit of common stakeholders.

<em>Use of return on equity:</em>

  • Isolates common equity returns
  • Can be used to evaluate dividends
  • Evaluates the use of capital by the management

It is calculated by income available for stockholders divided by the total number of common stock and is expressed or represented in percentage. Income available for common stockholders can be arrived by reducing preference dividends from Net income.

That is, \text { Net income }-\text { Preference dividends }=\text { Equity available for common stockholder }

Hence, net income minus preferred dividends is the right answer.
