Answer:

correct option is e. $169.6 million

Explanation:

given data

Stock dividend issued = 15%

outstanding shares = 16,000,000

 Market price  = $46  per share

Retained earnings  = $280,000,000

solution

first we get here stock dividend that is 15% of Outstanding shares

stock dividend = 0.15 × 16,000,000  

stock dividend =  2,400,000

and

as here stock dividend issue is less than 20 to 25% that is classified small stock dividend

so Amount that transferred from retain earning to Common stock  is  here

transferred amount = stock dividend × Market value per share

transferred amount = 2,400,000 × $46

transferred amount = $110,400,000

and

As issue of stock dividend changes balances of some accounts not the total stockholder equity

so amount of retained earnings after the transfer will be as

Retained earnings balance = $280,000,000 - $110,400,000

 Retained earnings balance = $169,600,000

so correct option is e. $169.6 million

A firm will exit a competitive market when A. costs force the marginal cost curve to shift to the left. B. the longrun profit wo
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

B. the longrun profit would be negative.

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.  

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit.  If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.  

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.  

A firm would shut down in the short run if price is less than average variable cost and exit if it  is making a loss
