Answer:
$232,400
Explanation:
Data provided
Net increase in Retained Earnings = $182,000
Dividend declared for the year = $50,400
The computation of net income for the current year is shown below:-
Net income for the current year = Net increase in Retained Earnings + Dividend declared for the year
= $182,000 + $50,400
= $232,400
Therefore for computing the net income for the current year we simply added the net increase in retained earning with dividend declared for the year.
Answer:
$164.29
Explanation:
The formula to compute the markup percentage is shown below:
Markup percentage = (Sale price - purchase price) ÷ (purchase price)
where,
Markup percentage is 40%
Sale price is $230
So, the purchase price is
0.40 = ($230 - purchase price) ÷ (purchase price)
0.40 × purchase price = $230 - purchase price
So, the purchase price is
= $230 ÷ 1.40
= $164.29
Answer:
c. Argues that a firm's first choice for capital is retained earnings as there is no informational cost associated with using retained earnings.
Explanation:
The Pecking order theory states that a business should first of all seek for internal funds (retained earnings) as a first choice of capital.
When internal funds are depleted, it can now look to debt as a source of finance.
In turn when debt options have been exhausted the last resort is to look for funding from equity.
So the Pecking order argues that a firm's first choice for capital is retained earnings as there is no informational cost associated with using retained earnings.
Answer:
If linen department is dropped operating income of the company will decrease.
Explanation:
That is because the cotrollable margin of the department is positive:
controllable margin = contribution margin - controllable fixed costs
$605,000-($800,000-380,000) = 185,000
That means that the Linen department helps to reduced fixed cost that are not generated by this department and that will keep existing wether the department is closed or not.
In addittion the Hardware department will loose 19% of its sales if the Linen department is closed. Thus will result in a reduction of the cntribution margin of the hardware deparment too.

Price floor non binding
Price ceiling binding
Price ceiling binding

A price floor is when the government or an agency of the government sets the minimum price of a product. A price floor is binding if it is set above equilibrium price.
Price ceiling is when the government or an agency of the government sets the maximum price for a product. It is binding when it is set below equilibrium price.
A. The minimum price is less than the equilibrium price, thus it is a non binding price floor
b. The maximum price is less than the equilibrium price, thus it is a binding price floor
c. Restaurants that would want to pay better wages are unable to do so. This means that there is a binding price maximum in place
