Answer:
1. If a firm increases its dividend payout rate the: firm will have less cash available for new investment. True
2. Stock price will likely fall by the same percentage. False
3. Retention ratio will rise at the same rate. False
Explanation:
1. If a firm increases its dividend payout rate the: firm will have less cash available for new investment. This assertion is true because the company would be paying out a larger portion of earnings as dividends, hence the balance portion for new investment will be lower as a result.
2. Stock price will likely fall by the same percentage. This assertion is most unlikely because normally, if a particular stock is paying higher dividends investors will have high expectation and be willing to pay a higher price to buy a stock that pays high dividends
3. Retention ratio will rise at the same rate. This conclusion is also incorrect because pay out ratio and retention ratio have an inverse relationship. If more dividend is paid out, then less money is retained.
Answer: 402 years
Explanation:
Debt is $15,000,000,000,000
Payment per second $1,183
Time taken to pay off = 15,000,000,000,000/1,183
= 12,679,628,064 seconds
Seconds in a year = 60 secs * 60 mins * 24 hours * 365 days
= 31,536,000 secs
Time taken in years = 12,679,628,064/ 31,536,000
= 402 years
Answer:
c. $20,416.50
Explanation:
Cost of assets = 20,000
Depreciation year 1 = 33% * 20,000 = $6,666
Annual cost saving = 25,000
Tax rate = 25%
Operating cash flow Year 1 = Cost saving*(1 - tax) + Tax*Depreciation
Operating cash flow Year 1 = 25,000*(1-0.25) + 0.25*6,666
Operating cash flow Year 1 = 25,000*0.75 + 0.25*6,666
Operating cash flow Year 1 = 18750 + 1666.5
Operating cash flow Year 1 = $20,416.5
So, the cash-flow from the project in year 1 is $20,416.50
