Answer:

The answers to the two questions are detailed in the explanation;

Explanation:

1.In this first case, David Wallace may possibly win, since a single creditor as a witness that due to the negligence of the director of the company did not receive his payment is not enough evidence for a lawsuit.

There should be more creditors who are dissatisfied with this situation, and it must also be analyzed what were the real causes that led to the company not having made the corresponding payment to this creditor.

2.In this second situation, the company Dunder Company may possibly win, since the corporation breached a previously established contract, this establishes the basis for a lawsuit in which Papers Import must possibly comply with the provisions of the contract or compensate the damages caused to the Dunder Company.

The main reason for considering nonconstant growth in dividends is to allow for _____ growth rates over _____.
JulsSmile [24]

Based on the economic and financial analysis, the main reason for considering <u>nonconstant growth</u> in dividends is to allow for "<u>Supernormal</u>" growth rates over "<u>some finite length of time</u>."

This is because, in nonconstant growth, the growth rate cannot surpass the mandatory return indefinitely.

However, there is the probability that it could do so for some number of years.

Also, it should be noted that in this situation, the value of the stock equates to the present value of all the future dividends.

Hence, in this case, it is concluded that the correct answer is <u>supernormal</u> and <u>some finite length of time</u>.

Balance sheet and income statement data indicate the following:
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

The correct option is d. 5.5.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not properly arranged. It is therefore rearranged before answering the question as follows:

Balance sheet and income statement data indicate the following:

Bonds payable, 10% (due in two years)                              $842,000

Preferred 5% stock, $100 par (no change during year)       220,000

Common stock, $50 par (no change during year)             1,672,000

Income before income tax for year                                       376,000

Income tax for year                                                                  89,000

Common dividends paid                                                         83,600

Preferred dividends paid                                                          11,000

Based on the data presented, what is the times interest earned ratio (rounded to one decimal place)?

Oa. 7.9

Ob. 4.5

Oc. 3.5

Od. 5.5

The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:

The times interest earned ratio can be calculated using the following formula:

Times interest earned ratio = EBIT / Interest expenses ................ (1)

Where;

Interest expenses = Bonds payable * 10% = $842,000 * 10% = $84,200

EBIT = Earnings before interest and taxes = Income before income tax for year + Interest expenses = $376,000 + $84,200 = $460,200

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

Times interest earned ratio = $460,200 / $84,200 = 5.46555819477435

Rounded to one decimal place, we have:

Times interest earned ratio = 5.5

Therefore, the correct option is d. 5.5.
