Business
1 answer:
Arada [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

D. All are legitimate constraints on the dividends that firms choose to pay to shareholders.

Explanation:

All of these are legitimate constraints.

For A, a company may simply have limited cash flows and as such can not pay any dividends. They may still be making profits and may declare dividends but the payment may not be made until subsequent period when cash is available.

For B, Bondholder covenants legally bind firms as issuing authorities from certain practices, for example a bond covenant may bind a firm to have interest cover of at least 2 times retained and as such there may be very little retained earnings left to pay for dividends.

For C, some forms of businesses like insurance companies or banks are restricted by law that they can not pay dividends if it means a capital reduction. These businesses have legal capital requirements that they must maintain and thus they cannot reduce capital in lieu of making dividend payments.

Hope that helps.

Answer:

a. 2 years

b. 1 year

c. 12 times

Explanation:

Interest period is the duration of the deposit. It is the length of time the money would remain in deposit. This is 2 years according to the question

Compounding period = number of times interest would be paid. In the question, this is a year. So interest would be paid every year

The compounding frequency - it is the number of times the deposit would be compounded. It is 12 months

The future value of the deposit can be determined using this formula :  

FV = P (1 + r/m)^nm

FV = Future value  

P = Present value  

R = interest rate  

N = number of years

m = number of compounding

(a) What is the average useful power output of a person who does 6.00×106 J of useful work in 8.00 h? (b) Working at this rate,
netineya [11]

Answer:

(a) 208.33 J/s

(b) 141.12 s

Explanation:

(a) Energy is the rate of doing work.

Work is the product of power and time

Work = Power × Time

Power = Work/time

where work is in joule and time is in seconds

Given that work = 6 × 10^{6}

Time = 8 h = 8 × 60 × 60

 = 28800 seconds

Average useful power = \frac{6 ×10^{6} }{28800}

                                     = 208.33 J/s

(b) Given

mass = 2000kg , using g = 9.8 m/s2

Force = 2000 × 9.8

          = 19600N

Work =  Force × Distance ( considering that Work done to lift his body can be omitted because it is not considered useful output here)

Work = 19600 × 1.5

        = 29,400J

Time taken = Work/Power

                  = \frac{29400}{208.33} \\

                  = 141.12s

                  ≈ 2 Minutes 21 Seconds

At the rate of 208.33J/s, it will take the person 141.12 seconds to lift 2000 kg of bricks 1.50 m to a platform.
