Answer: Razor and blade strategy
Explanation:
The Razor Blade Model is a model that is used by companies to deeply discount or give away a core product hoping that the consumers will buy the more expensive and complementary dependent products.
The razor and blades business model is a model whereby one item is sold at a cheaper price or sometimes given for free so as to increase the sales of its complementary good. For example, ink catridges are required for inkjet printers and software and accessories are used for game consoles. So, selling ink catridges at a low rate can lead to more sales for inkjet printers.
Answer: Bond holders
Explanation: In simple words, bondholders refers to the creditors of the organisation. The holders of the bond are not the owners as they are paid fixed interest and are not able to participate in the decision making of the company.
In the event of liquidation, bondholders are paid first because it is assumed that the decision makers should be punished for the liquidation and hence they should be paid at last.
No. of shares outstanding before stock dividend = 634000
Price per share = $46
Stock dividend issued (shares issued) = 634000 x 13%
= 82,420
Value of stocks issued as stock dividend = 82420 x $46 = $3,791,320
No. of shares outstanding after stock dividend = 634,000 +82,420
=716420
Cash dividend = 716420 x 0.60
= 429,852
Total reduction in retained earnings = total value of dividend issued
= $3,791,320 + $429,852
= $4,221,172
Answer:
The Silverside Company
Project 1's Payback Period
= Initial Investment/Annual cash flows
= $400,000 / $90,000
= 4.44 years.
Explanation:
Project 1:
Initial Investment = $400,000
Useful life = 5 years
Annual cash inflows for useful life = $90,000
The Silverside Company's payback period calculates the time or number of years that it would take the company to recover from its initial investment in Project 1. This is the simple payback period calculation. There is also the discounted payback period calculation. This method discounts the annual cash inflows to their present values before the calculation is carried out. This second method gives a present value perspective on the issue.
