Answer:

A) retained earnings represents a claim on cash.

Explanation:

Retained earnings are the accumulated profits that a company keeps that are left after dividends are paid. Retained earnings are the equivalent of a savings account for an individual. Retained earnings are shown in the balance sheet as part of owners' equity.

For example, corporation A had a net profit of $10 million during last year, and it paid dividends for a total of $4 million, its retained earnings for last year are $6 million.

Companies use retained earnings as money available for financing new or existing projects.

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

The amount of the equal, annual deposits made on birthdays 5 through 15 is $3,970.58

Explanation:

First, let's calculate the present value of the college expenses on her 17th birthday (a year before college) using NPV formula

NPV(9%, 20000...32000) = $82,839.69

Now, its value on 15th birthday should be equal to 82,839.69 / (1 + 9%)² = $69,724.51

Using the PMT formula, we can calculate the annual amount they have to invest for 11 years to get to this sum at 9% annual rate

PMT(rate = 9%, nper = 11, pv = 0, fv = 69,724.51, 0) = $3,970.58
