Answer:
The correct option is A,5.72 times
Explanation:
The number of times that interest charges gives a sense of how financial stable is in its ability to pay interest on bonds as at when due.It is key consideration for prospective bondholders when assessing whether to buy bonds in a particular company
Number of times interest charges earned=net income before interest/interest
net income before interest charges=net income+interest charges
net income is $340,000
interest charges=$1,200,000*6%=$72,000
net income before interest charges=$340,000+$72,000=$412,000
number of times interest was earned=$412,000/$72,000=5.72
Answer:
= $2,748
Explanation:
Number of shares purchased = 400
Price per share (a year ago)= $24.15
Total price paid a year ago = 400*$24.15 = <em>$9,660 </em>
Annual dividend per share = $1.82
Total dividend earned = 400 * $1.82 =<em> </em><em>$728</em>
Price per share (today)= $29.20
Proceeds from sale of shares today = 400*$29.20 = <em>$11,680</em>
Next, find total dollar return;
<em>Total dollar return</em><em> = </em>Total dividend earned + Proceeds from sale of shares today - Total price paid a year ago
= <em>$728+ $11,680 - $9,660 </em>
<em>= $2,748</em>
