Stock splits:

1 answer:

3 0

Answer: a. Allow management to conserve cash, give stockholders more shares, and cause no change in total assets, liabilities, or stockholders' equity.

Explanation:

Stock Splits increase the number of shares a company without actually changing their market capitalization by simply dividing the shares available.

There are a bunch of reasons to do this but one of them is to conserve cash. By splitting stock, managers can conserve cash by not paying dividends but still proving that the company can still pay dividends. The Shareholders getting MORE stock would be the reward.

Since Stock splits don't change the Market Capitalization, they don't have an effect on Equity either and by extension Assets and Liabilities.

anygoal [31]

Answer:

Consider the following explanation

Explanation:

Foreign tax credit allowable is the minimum of Federal Income Tax and Income tax paid in foreign country. Here, Jimenez had paid 40% (2,000,000/5,000,000) income tax in foreign country. So. Jimenez will only be eligible to take foreign tax credit of 1,050,000 i.e. 5,000,000 * 21% and there will be carryover of $950,000 (2,000,000 - 1,050,000) foreign taxes.

There is carryover tax when we cannot use the whole amount of foreign tax credit in the current year and the balance foreign tax is carried over to future years.

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer: $1312.41

Cost of HP Spectre laptop = $1353

Credit terms = 3/15, net 30

= Listed price × Complement of discounts rate

= $1353 × 97%

= $1312.41

Therefore, the amount needed to pay is $1312.41

• The overall economy will get impacted as there will be more legal cases. Legal penalties in society will also increase due to Sellers taking each others to court.
