Answer:
B) Total assets increased by $200.
Explanation:
If during Year 2, Chico Company earned $1,950 of cash revenue, paid $1,600 of cash expenses, and paid a $150 cash dividend to its owners. Based on this information alone:
Then it is correct that there was a net income of $350 before the payment of dividend which is gotten by 1,950 - 1,600. Cash from operating activities will also be the same amount of $350.
However it will not be correct to state that assets increased by $200 as there is no such indication.
Answer:
Option (D) is correct.
Explanation:
We have to use MM proposition that cost of equity will change itself in such a manner so that it can take care of its debt.
Cost of equity:
= WACC of all equity firm + (WACC of all equity - Cost of debt ) × (Debt -to-equity ratio)
At the beginning, when there was no debt,
WACC = cost of equity = 10%
Levered cost of equity:
= 10% + ( 10% - 6%) × 0.2
= 10.8%
Therefore, Taggart's levered cost of equity would be closest to 11%.

Answer:
The correct answer is letter "C": to raise competition among firms in the cartel.
Explanation:
A cartel is a group of companies or countries working together to regulate the price of a single product they produce in common. The cartel makes it impossible for a foreign business to enter the market and demand lower prices. Cartels are, in most cases, not helpful to customers. They generate high prices that remain unchanged until consumers find alternative ways to purchase the same items.
Under such a scenario,<em> cartels are unlikely to be formed to generate more competition among the companies that compose them.</em>
