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!

In the text, Curves is an example of which path? a. Looking across alternative industries b. Looking across strategic groups wit
Elena L [17]

Answer:

The correct option is D) Looking across complementary offerings

Explanation:

There are about 6 well-known paths to achieving a <em>Blue Ocean Strategy.</em>

Generally, the Blue Ocean Strategy (BOS) seeks to avoid locking horns with the competition by identifying niche areas that are critical to the attainment of a competition-free space. According to the BOS took kit, there are 6 paths to achieving a blue ocean strategy.

One of them is called looking across complementary offerings.

Another term for the Curve is Value Ramp. Value Ramp simply refers to a methodology for evaluating one's service/product offerings. It consists of a graph that plots a curve sloping upwards from left to right, showing the relationship between price and the value or perception of value being delivered by the business.

The principle offered here stated that the higher the perception of one's brand, the more one should be able to charge for their services.

Value is thought to increase as the business delivers more and more personalized services in a relationship-oriented fashion rather than generic products and services which are readily available off the shelf in most cases.

Which of the following is a true statement about inventory systems?A)Periodic inventory systems require more detailed inventory
balu736 [363]

Answer:

B)Perpetual inventory systems require more detailed inventory records.

Explanation:

Under the <em><u>Perpetual inventory system</u></em>, every time a good is sold the cost of goods sold (COGS) needs to be determined. That is the reason the details are so important.

Many times it varies because different units in inventory were purchased at different prices and times. <em>Inflation </em>might be a factor the prices changes too.

However, in the <u><em>Periodic inventory system</em></u>, (COGS) is determined at the end of the accounting period, so the person in charge of keeping the records usually checks the <em>Inventory</em> account at the end of the year to know COGS.

Service products cannot generally be produced in ________or __________. Services are typically _________________________________
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Service products cannot generally be produced in advance or stored.

Services are typically variable, and in almost every service offering, the service cannot start until the customer arrives and actively participates.

Explanation:

Services have distinguishing characteristics that differentiate them  from goods.

To start with, services cannot be produced in advance as production and consumption happen at the same time.

Also,the customer must be present and actively contributes to the delivery of the service, for instance, haircut cannot happen except the customer comes to the salon and obeys the instructions of the barber as they go along.

Besides,there is no physical substance in service unlike purchase of goods.
