Answer:

a. The company must have had net income equal to zero in 2009.

Explanation:

If on its 2008 balance sheet, Sherman Books showed a balance of retained earnings equal to $510 million, and on its 2009 balance sheet, the balance of retained earnings was also equal to $510 million; then what is true is that  the company must have had net income equal to zero in 2009.

Retained earnings is the profit amount or net income left over and taken back into the business after it has paid out dividends to its shareholders.

However it is unlikely that the company will pay out the entire amount it earns in a particular year but a percentage of earnings.

In the case of Sherman, it is unlikely that the company made a profit of $200 million and paid out every bit as dividends to shareholders but what is most likely is that there was no profit made for retention in 2009

Leslie contracts with Remodel, Inc., to redo her living room, but she changes her mind and breaches the contract before Remodel
Varvara68 [4.7K]
Remodel Inc can seek compensation. By entering a contract with Leslie, both parties are bound by certain rules. The contractor must have spent some money related to performing the job. Breaching the agreement impacts on Remodel, financially speaking. They can therefore seek compensation for any amount spent due to the award of the contract, like logistics costs incurred to fulfill the contract.

Beridze manufacturing expects to produce​ 2,400 units in january and​ 3,700 units in february. beridze budgets​ $45 per unit for
sladkih [1.3K]
We have that the january units cost 2400*45=108000$. Also, February's cost is going to be 3700*45=166500$. We have that for January, the ending balance needs to be 70% of the stock for February. Hence, it needs to be 70%*166500=116500$. Hence, we will need to pay for the units 108000$ and also 116500$; Thus, the total money that needs to be invested in January is 224500$. However, we already have 37250$, so the total inflow of money is 187250$. Hence, the correct choice is that on January we need 187300$.

(For February, we need to put in 166500$ and also 51800 need to be available at the end of the month. Thus, the total cost needs to be 218300$. However, 116500$ are already available from January. Hence, the total inflow for February is 101800$.
The total from both months is: 187250+101800=289050$)
