Answer:

1a.  Wednesday, December 18, 2013.

1b.  $14.65

1c.  $81.95 million

2a.  Company ABC can't pay dividend.

2b. Company ABC can't pay dividend.

Explanation:

1a.

The payment date is Friday, December 20, 2013. The registration date is generally two days before payment, that is Wednesday, December 18, 2013.

1b.

Stock price on the ex-dividend date = stock price - dividend = $15 - $0.35 = $14.65

1c.

Cash = $8 million  

Retained earnings = $75 million  

Outstanding share = 3 million  

Dividend out flow = $1,050,000 = $1.05 million  

Total assets = cash + retained earnings + dividend out flow = $8 million + $75 million - $1.05 million= $81.95 million

2a.

EBIT = $2 million  

Tax rate = 40%  

Annual deprecation = $1.5 million  

Annual interest = $1 million  

Sinking fund = $0.5 million  

Dividend out flow = $2 x 250,000 outstanding shares = $500,000 = $0.5 million.

Bond covenant condition:

Dividends = Dividend out flow + interest + sinking fund = $0.5 million + $1 million + $0.5 million = $2 million.

Cash flow before dividend and sinking payment = Dividends - Interest = $2 million - $1 million = $1 million  

Company ABC can't pay dividend because it don't satisfy bond covenant condition.

2b.

Company ABC can't pay dividend.

Hope this helps!

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

$4,697.04

Explanation:

In simple words , this question requires us to find the Future Value in 5 years time. We compound the Present Value using the effective interest rate to determine the Future Value of an investment.

<em>PV = $3,000.00</em>

<em>P/YR = 12</em>

<em>N = 5 x 12 = 60</em>

<em>I = 9 %</em>

<em>PMT = $0</em>

<em>FV = ?</em>

Using a Financial calculator to enter the parameters as above the Future Value (FV) is $4,697.04

therefore,

In 5 years time, you will have $4,697.04.

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

Hmm.

Explanation:

  • Why should you memorize your social security number rather than carry your social security card in your wallet?

One big reason why you should NOT carry your social security number on you is that you could get robbed at ANY moment. And if someone has your Social security number, then they could slander your name.

  • Explain why you will need to provide your social security number to employers.

You will need to provide your social security number to employers because they need to make sure that you are you.

<em>'Why do employers need my social security number? If an employer decides to extend you an offer, they will eventually need your social security number to verify your identity and work authorization and perhaps to complete a background check. However, they don't need it in the initial hiring phase.'</em>
