Alex73 [517]

Answer:

The total amount of dividends paid over these three years: $8000

Explanation:

  • Net income (loss) in three years

$7,100, ($1,600), and $3,600  

=> the total net income is the first three years of operation is:

$7,100 -  ($1,600) +  $3,600  

= $9,100

This money is not kept in the Retained Earnings because it is used for dividend payment. But Earnings balance at the end of year three is $1,100, so the total amount of dividends paid over these three years:

= Total net incomes - Retained Earnings

= $9,100 - $1,100,  

= $8000

Hope it will find you well.

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Phips' post-closing retained earnings balance on December 31, 20X2 = $577,000

Explanation:

Note: When 100% shares of a company is acquired it is treated as subsidiary and for its accounting equity method is used.

In that case all balances of subsidiary are added to balances of Parent company.

But if any dividend is received then such value is deducted from carrying value of investment, and any share in profit will be added to carrying value.

All the retained earnings balance is accumulated together of both companies.

Therefore closing balance shall be

Retained earnings balance of Sips at year end

= $120,000 + $20,000 - $8,000 = $132,000

Year end balance of Phips Alone

= $320,000 + 125,000 = $445,000

Total Retained Earnings at year end = $132,000 + $445,000 = $577,000

Which cash flow would you rather pay, $425 today or $500 in two years if interest rates are 10 percent? Why?
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Explanation:

The main goal is to compare these two based on the same terms; present values. Find the present value of $500 today by discounting it using 10% interest rate over two years.

PV = FV/ (1+r)^n

where FV = Future value = $500

r = discount rate = 10% or 0.10 as a decimal

n = total duration of investment  = 2

PV = $500/(1+0.10)^2

PV = $500/1.21

PV = $413.22

Since you are basing the decision on what you would rather pay, you would want a lower pay amount. The $425 is already in its present value terms and it is more expensive. Therefore, you would prefer to pay $500 in two years.
