When dividends are declared and paid, retained earnings and cash are both decreased.

Paying dividends reduces cash flow while increasing dividends. A decline in retained earnings will occur when the temporary account of dividends, which will be closed at the end of the time period (such as a year), is closed.

How Do Retained Earnings Work?

After deducting dividend payments, a company's cumulative net earnings or profits are known as retained earnings. The term "retained," which is significant in accounting, captures the fact that the corporation kept such earnings rather than paying them as dividends to shareholders.

For this reason, retained earnings increase when new profits are made and drop when a corporation either makes a profit or pays dividends.

Answer:

The answer is option B) without a carefully calculated financial plan, a firm has little chance for survival, regardless of its product or marketing effectiveness.

Explanation:

The financial plan of an organization also known as financials is a record used to determine how a business will afford to achieve its strategic goals and objectives.

The Financial Plan collates each of the activities, resources, equipment and materials that are needed to achieve these objectives and specify time frames involved.

A financial plan contains a sales forecast, expense budget, cash flow statement, income projections, asset and liabilities, depreciation table, break even analysis and pre-operating costs. It shows whether the firm is making profit or running at a loss.

It is usually prepared in a spreadsheet.

This plan is what the bank and investors will need to evaluate your business.

Last month, you lent a work colleague $5000 to cover some overdue bills. He agreed to pay you in 1 month with interest at 2% for

faust18 [17]

Answer:

There are at least 2 opportunity costs associated with of letting your colleague have another month:

if you invested in the oil-well venture, you could have earned $5,100 x 36% = $1,836 in one year
if you invested in the new IT stock, you could have earned $5,100 x 48% = $2,448 in one year

You could invest in one of these options, or divide your money and invest in both options, e.g. invest $2,000 in the oil company and $3,000 in the IT company. Each different investment proportion results in a different opportunity cost.

Explanation:

Opportunity costs are the benefits lost or extra costs associated to carrying out an investment or activity instead of another alternative. Sometimes you might have several opportunity costs for one investment, e.g. invest in the IT company which is risky, invest in corporate bonds which is less risky or invest in US securities which is a safe investment.
