Answer:
The firm paid $630000 dividends in 2019
Explanation:
Retained earnings is the amount of net income that is not distributed to stockholders and is ploughed back into the business. It is a capital reserve account and appears in the equity section of the Balance Sheet. To determine the amount of Dividends, we will trace the change in Retained earnings and deduct the increase in retained earnings amount from the Net Income to arrive at dividends for the year.
Increase in Retained earnings = 4000000 - 3700000 = $300000
Thus, out of the Net Income of $930000 earned in 2019, $300000 was transferred to retained earnings. The remaining was paid as dividends.
The dividends in 2019 are = 930000 - 300000 = $630000

Answer:
Explanation:
Pretax cost of debt is the annual rate(YTM) of the bond. Using a financial calculator, input the following to calculate it;
N = 5*2 = 10
PV = -(95% *10,000,000) = -9,500,000
Coupon PMT = (6%/2)*10,000,000 = 300,000
FV = 10,000,000
then compute semiannual rate; CPT I/Y = 3.604%
convert to annual rate = 3.604*2 = 7.21%(this is the pretax cost of debt)
After tax cost of debt is calculated because interest payable on debt has tax shield. The formula is as follows;
Aftertax cost of debt = pretax cost of debt (1-tax)
AT cost of debt = 7.21% (1-0.40)
AT cost of debt = 4.33%
Answer:
SCC won't pay any tax
Explanation:
Their loss of $30,000 in year 1 will be unused and made available to counterbalance the total generated earnings in year 2.
