Answer: The loan was taken for 265 days.
We arrive at the answer as follows:
First we find the ratio of interest paid to the total loan amount to determine the interest rate:
Interest paid = $1,307
Loan Amount = $45,000
Since the interest rate calculated above is less than the annual interest rate at 4%, we conclude that the loan taken was for a period of less than one year.
We can determine the period for which the loan was taken as follows:
Let 'x' be the time for which the loan was taken.
We need to solve for x in the proportion below
0.04 : 365 :: 0.029044444:x
Solving we get,
Answer:
If a company pays more in dividends than it generates in net income, its retained earnings as reported on the balance sheet will decline from the previous year's balance.
Explanation:
The dividend is shown while preparing the retained earning statement. So, it does not affect the net income.
The highly liquid marketable securities does not show a decline in the current assets
If the long term bonds are issued to purchase fixed assets it would show under the long term liabilities and the long term assets rather than the current assets and the current liabilities
Account receivable are reported in the current assets rather than the current liabilities
We know that
The ending balance of retained earning = Beginning balance of retained earnings + net income - dividend paid
If the dividend amount is more than the net income so the ending balance of retained earning will decline than its beginning year balance.
Instrumentality.
Since Rick believes that working hard will result in better incentives and his attitude towards these incentives is not known, we can say that in the context of expectancy theory of motivation, that this scenario best reflects the factor of <u>instrumentality</u>.
Vroom's expectancy theory of motivation attempts to explain that people choose to perform certain actions over other in a manner that aims to maximize pleasure and reduce pain to lowest possible extent.
There are three factors that affect motivation : expectancy, instrumentality and valence.
Expectancy : refers to the belief of working harder with the expectation of attaining the goals set within an organization.
Instrumentality : refers to the belief that one will be rewarded if certain goals are met. These rewards may take the form of increased wages, recognition, increased incentives etc.
Valence: refers to the value attached by the worker to the reward that has been attained.
Answer:
value of the firm = 21.20 million
value of the firm = 20.80 million
Explanation:
given data
current profits = $400,000
annual rate = 4 percent
opportunity cost = 6 percent
solution
we get here value of the firm before pays out current profits as dividend is express as
value of the firm = current profits ( 1+opportunity cost ) ÷ ( opportunity cost - annual rate ) ................1
put here value
value of the firm = 
value of the firm = 21.20 million
and
value of the firm after pays is
value of the firm = current profits ( 1+annual rate ) ÷ ( opportunity cost - annual rate ) ................2
value of the firm = 
value of the firm = 20.80 million
