In such a case Shawn's company cannot and should not give out a dividend.

Since the company has just raised money, is growing and profitable and it is becoming hard to keep up with demand, this is the best time for the company to reinvest its profits to:

1. Hire more people/Buy more product

2. Improve processes

3. Use the profits to invest in R&D

4. Use the profits to invest in marketing and promotion

5. Invest in providing better customer service

So no dividend should be given since it can hamper the growth of a young company. The money should be used to grow the company for now and in the future all shareholders can enjoy good dividends.

Carney Company manufactures cappuccino makers. For the first eight months of 2019, the company reported the following operating
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Total  effect on income= $190,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales (500,000 units) $90,000,000

Cost of goods sold 54,000,000

Gross profit 36,000,000

Operating expenses 24,000,000

Net income $12,000,000

An analysis of costs and expenses reveals that the variable cost of goods sold is $95 per unit and variable operating expenses are $35 per unit. In September, Carney Company receives a special order for 40,000 machines at $135 each from a major coffee shop franchise. Acceptance of the order would result in $10,000 of shipping costs but no increase in fixed expenses

Because it is a special offer and there is unused capacity, we will not have into account the fixed costs.

Total unitary cost= 95 + 35 + (10,000/40,000)= 130.25

Contribution margin= 135 - 130.25= 4.75

Total  effect on income= 4.75*40,000= $190,000

On January 1, a company issued and sold a $440,000, 6%, 10-year bond payable, and received proceeds of $434,000. Interest is pay
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

The carrying value of the bonds immediately after the first interest payment is $434,300.

Explanation:

Face value of the bond = $440,000

Proceeds from bond issue = $434,000

Discount on bond payable = Face value of the bond - Proceeds from bond issue = $440,000 - $434,000 = $6,000

Total number of seminual = Number of years of bond maturity * Number of semiannual in a year = 10 * 2 = 20

Discount amortizaton per semiannual = Discount on bond payable / Total number of seminual = $6,000 / 20 = $300

Carrying value after first interest payment = Proceeds from bond issue + Discount amortizaton per semiannual = $434,000 + $300 = $434,300

Therefore, the carrying value of the bonds immediately after the first interest payment is $434,300.

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer: The amount of money that they were paid for the high school prom. This is because that's the amount that has been sent on the band.

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Cracked Mirror, a local rock group, contracts to play for your high school prom and that a week before the

dance, the group cancels its appearance.
