Answer: c. earns a higher return than the rate paid on debt.
Explanation:
If the debt that the company incurs leads to the company making more money than they are paying as interest for the debt, then more money will be available as net income which would increase the Return on Equity.
ROE is calculated by dividing the Net Income by Shareholder equity. Interest is an expense. If this expense is lower then the increase in net income as a result of the debt then it follows that net income would increase and so would ROE.
Answer:
$360
Explanation:
We can compute net income to be
The ending balance of retained earnings = Beginning balance of retained earnings + net income - dividend paid.
Where,
Dividend = $482
Change in retained earnings = $122
Hence,
Net income = Dividend - Change in retained earnings
= $482 - $122
Net income = $360
Answer:
Increases, decreases
Explanation:
According to the equation for the Phillips curve, if nominal wages and labor productivity both increase by 3%, then the inflation rate increases and unemployment decreases.
The Phillips curve is an economic concept developed by A. W. Phillips stating that <u>inflation and unemployment have a stable and inverse relationship.</u> The theory claims that <u>with economic growth comes inflation</u>, which in turn should lead to more jobs and <u>less unemployment.
</u>
<u>Therefore as given in the scenario, wage increase signifies economic growth which will lead to increase in inflation and a decrease in unemployment</u>
