Answer:
(a) increase its dividend;
dividends are increased for two reasons:
- the company has excess cash and it doesn't have any possible investments on hand
- the board and upper management want to increase the stock price and higher dividends always result in higher stock prices, even if it is only in the short run.
(b) buy back some of its common stock shares;
- the company has excess cash and the board and upper management believe that the stock price is too low.
(c) pay down some of its debt;
- the company has excess cash and it considers that the cost of its debt is too high and it can get cheaper financing from other sources if needed.
(d) increase its use of internal financing;
- the board and upper management considers that the company needs to invest in new or existing projects and they consider that the financing costs are too high. Also, on the long run if things work well, the stock price should increase.
(e) take the public firm private

Answer:
Total Check-able deposits to increase by $333.5 billion
Explanation:
If the bank reserves increase by $50 billion, the total check-able deposits will increase by 50 * the credit multiplier.
Credit multiplier is the measure by which an increase in total money supply can be measured relative to an increase in banks' excess reserves.
Credit Multiplier = 1 / reserve ratio
Credit Multiplier = 1 / 0.15 = 6.67
So an increase in excess reserves of 50 billion will have a net effect of 50 * 6.67 = $333.5 billion. This will be the net increase in total check-able deposits or the money supply.

Answer:
total budgeted costs = $141,570
budgeted production = 1,000 units
standard rate = $141,570 / 1,000 = $141.57 per unit
total actual costs = $135,810
actual production = 850 units
actual rate = $135,810 / 850 = $159.78 per unit
- total fixed overhead variance = actual overhead costs - budgeted overhead costs = $135,810 - $141,570 = -$5,760 favorable. The actual overhead expense was lower than budgeted.
- controllable variance = (actual rate - standard rate) x actual units = ($159.78 - $141.57) x 850 units = $15,478.50 unfavorable. The actual overhead rate was higher than the standard rate, that is why the variance is unfavorable (more money was spent than budgeted).
- volume variance = (standard activity - actual activity) x standard rate = (1,000 - 850) x $141.57 = 150 x $141.57 = $21,235.50 unfavorable. Less units where produced than budgeted, that is why the variance is unfavorable.
