Explanation:
As the only operator of this kind in South Africa, the Post Office has the exclusive right to provide delivery services for all letters, postcards, printed matter, small parcels, and other postal articles up to and including 1kg.
PostNet was initially ordered to stop delivering all packages weighing 1kg and less by 17 March 2020. However, it secured an interdict which allowed it to continue to deliver these packages until the full challenge was heard in the Gauteng High Court.
The Post Office, Postnet and the South African Express Parcel Association (SAEPA) are now set to head to court in a move that could have ramifications for the entire courier industry in South Africa.
Icasa spokesperson Paseka Maleka told BusinessDay that the regulator would give its support to the Post Office as it was following the letter of the law, which allowed private couriers to only deliver food items in the 1kg or less category.
“Icasa’s mandate is to implement what the law requires, and we are doing exactly that,” he said.
“There are exemptions that deal with businesses that do not fall under postal services. Uber Eats, Mr Delivery, etc are such businesses. Obviously, one cannot expect Sapo to be delivering pizza to a consumer,” he said.
Answer:
D) 13%
Explanation:
Calculation for the percentage that is closest to the rate of return of investments
First step is to find the balance amount of the share price using this formula
Share price =(End of the year Share price + End of the year dividend)-Start of the year Share price
Let plug in the formula
Share price =($29.00+$0.56)-$26.20
Share price =$29.56-$26.20
Share price =$3.36
Second step is to find the rate of return of investments
Using this formula
Rate of return of investments= Share price/Start of the year Share price
Rate of return of investments
Let plug in the formula
Rate of return of investments=$3.36/$26.20
Rate of return of investments=0.13*100
Rate of return of investments=13%
Therefore the percentage that is closest to the rate of return of investments in companies with equal risk to The Busby Corporation for this perio will be 13%
Answer:
$62,160
Explanation:
The calculation of amount of dividends is shown below:-
Arrears in Preferred Stock Dividend
= $480,000 × 6% × 2 - $28,000 - $28,000
= $57,600 - $28,000 - $28,000
= $1,600
Current Preferred Stock Dividend = Common stock × cumulative preferred stock percentage
= $480,000 × 6%
= $28,800
The amount of dividends common shareholders = Cash dividends - Current Preferred Stock Dividend - Arrears in Preferred Stock Dividend
= $58,000 - $28,800 - $1,600
= $62,160
