Suppose a stock had an initial price of $58 per share, paid a dividend of $1.90 per share during the year, and had an ending sha
posledela

Answer: Dividend yield is 3.3%

Capital gains yield is 17.24%

Explanation:

Dividend yield is given as the ratio of annual dividend per share and stock's price per share.

Dividend per share = $1.9

Share price = $58

Dividend yield = 1.9/58 = 0.033 or 3.3%

Capital gain yield is the appreciation in the price of a stock expressed as a percentage.

Capital gain yield = (current price – original price) / original price x 100

Current price = $68

Original price = $58

CGY = (68-58)/58 * 100 = (10/58)*100 = 17.24%

A nonprofit group organizes its local fundraisers in teams, with each of its L team leaders responsible for D group directors, a
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

Each of L team leaders has D group directors, making the total number of group directors equal to (L)(D). And each of those group directors has F fundraisers, again requiring multiplication: that total is (L)(D)(F). (You can try this by plugging in small numbers - if each of 2 leaders has 3 directors, you know there would be 6 directors)

So while statement 1 is not sufficient (there are multiple combinations that could get you to 81, such as L = 1, D = 2, and F = 39; or L = 1, D = 5, and F = 15), statement 2 guarantees that there is only one team leader. This is because 5 is a prime number, and you know that the number of group directors = LD. The only possible way for LD to equal 5 is if L is 1 and D is 5, or if D is 1 and L is 5. And since the stimulus tells you that there are more directors than leaders, the combination must be 5 directors and 1 leader. Accordingly, statement 2 is sufficient.

Which one of the following is not a part of the business case for why companies should act in a socially responsible manner? A.
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Every business has a moral duty to be a good corporate citizen.

Explanation:

Businesses are formed to make profit, and this is the primary goal of businesses. So when making a business case for a company to act in a socially responsible manner, the benefit to the business as profits is the primary consideration.

If it is argued that every business has a moral duty to be a good corporate citizen, it does not translate to profits or benefit for the company.

So this is a weak argument when a business case is being created for why businesses should act in a socially responsible manner.

1) 30,000 shares issued

2) Common stock average price: 12.1 dollars

   book value: $ 22.49

3)  135,000 dividends to common stockholders

                                                total paid-in                4,840,000

on average common stock were issued at 12.1 dollars

common stock book value:

(common stock + retained earnings - preferred stock)/outstanding shares

(4,840,000 + 4,260,000 - 105,000)/ 400,000 = 22.4875

3) if 450,000 dividends are distributed:

the compamy will first pay the preferred stocks:

30,000 x $ 100 x 7% =  210,000

dividends in arrears:     105,000

 total preferred stock   315,000

bond to common stock:

450,000 declared - 315,000 preferred stock: 135,000 for common stock

An export subsidy will ________ producer surplus, ________ consumer surplus, ________ government revenue, and ________ overall d
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

increase; decrease; decrease; decrease.

Explanation:

Trade can be defined as a process which typically involves the buying and selling of goods and services between a producer and the customers (consumers) at a specific period of time.

Basically, trade can be categorized into two (2) main groups and these are;

I. Import: this involves bringing in goods from a foreign country to sell in a different (domestic) country.

II. Export: it involves the sales of goods produced in a domestic country to a foreign country.

An export subsidy can be defined as any government policy that encourages the export of goods to other countries while discouraging the sales of goods in the domestic market through the use of tax reliefs, low cost loans, government foreign adverts, etc.

A surplus is the amount by which the quantity supplied of a good exceeds the quantity demanded of the good.

Producer surplus is the amount a buyer is willing to pay for a good minus the cost of producing the good.

Consumer surplus is the amount a buyer is willing to pay for a good minus the amount the buyer actually pays for it.

Hence, an export subsidy will increase producer surplus, decrease consumer surplus, decrease government revenue, and decrease overall domestic national welfare.
