Answer:

the firm pay 39 millions dividends to his shareholders during the year.

Explanation:

The retained earnings identity is as follow:

beginning RE + net income - dividends = ending RE

we plug our values into the formula:

970 + 30 - dividends = 961

we clear dividends:

970 + 30 - 961 = dividends

And solve:

dividends = 39

<u>Notes:</u>

For every account, we always have this similar identity:

a beginning balance

a type of transaction that increase their balance

another kind of transaction which decreased

and a final balance which is the net of the previous.

beginning + increase - decrease = ending

Always try to identify how each transaction impact the account and from there, setup the equation.

Identify the statement that is incorrect. Multiple Choice Higher financial leverage involves higher risk. Risk is higher if a co
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Risk is higher if a company has more assets.

Explanation:

All of the following statements are true and correct;

1. Higher financial leverage involves higher risk.

2. Risk is higher if a company has more liabilities.

3. The debt ratio is one measure of financial risk.

4. Lower financial leverage involves lower risk.

However, it is false and an absolutely incorrect to say risk is higher if a company has more assets.

A company having more assets would have a debt ratio less than one (1) because it has many assets to fund it's business. Thus, the company would have little or no debts and as such, it's risk portfolio is very low.

Hence, risk is lower if a company has more assets.

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

a. 54

b. 810 dollars

c. 390 dollars

d. 75 pictures

e. 561.6 dollars and 562.5 dollars

f. 38 pictures

Explanation:

demand per week = 18 pictures

annually this demand = 18 *52 = 936

charge per unit = 60 dollars

order for 6 weeks = 6*18 = 108 quantities

cost of ordering = 45 dollars

cost of holding annually = 15 dollars

a. current average inventory

= (18*6)/2

= 54 pictures

b. current annual holding cost

(108/2)*15

= 810 dollars

c. current annual holding cost

= 936/108 * 45

= 390 dollars

d. size orders to be placed

= \sqrt{\frac{2*936*45}{15} }

= \sqrt{5616}

= 74.9

≈ 75 pictures have to be ordered

e. ordering holding cost per picture

936/75 * 45

= 561.6 dollars

and inventory holding cost per picture

= 75/2 * 15

=562.5 dollars

f. shop inventory per year at optimal ordering quantity

= 75/2

= 37.5

≈ 38 pictures
