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!

The labor efficiency variance focuses on the number of labor hours used in production. It is defined as the difference between the actual number of direct labor hours worked and budgeted direct labor hours that should have been worked based on the standards.

Labor efficiency variance equals the number of direct labor hours you budget for a period minus the actual hours your employees worked, times the standard hourly labor rate.
