Answer:

Innovative technologies brought about by competition in the industry that cannot be fostered by state owned electricity corporations or industry

Explanation:

power sector deregulation which allow for private owned power distribution companies are done for the purpose of encouraging competition in the power sector market by eliminating monopoly brought about by state owned power sectors. This consequently eliminates lethargy and inefficiency and non customer focused state owned sectors giving birth to competitive markets where private companies can compete on prices and deliver innovative technologies to solve power problems and satisfy consumers

Answer: Contract is voided

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Jillian and Chase are making a contract in which Jillian ships beaver pelts to Chase, who will then makes the pelts into hats to sell.

We are further told that a year into their contract, it becomes illegal to buy or sell beaver pelts in the United States. Based on the scenario explained, the contact will be voided.

A void contract is referred to as a formal agreement that cannot be enforceable and is not legitimate. Since it is illegal to either purchase or sell beaver pelts, it means that the context cannot be carried out anymore and should the be void.

The following information is provided for Slickers, Inc. for year 2016: • Preferred stock, 5%, $20 par value, 1,500 shares issue
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

The amount of dividends paid to common stockholders in 2016 is $4000

Explanation:

The cumulative preferred shares are the shares that accumulate dividends in case the dividends on these shares are not paid or paid partially in a year. The accumulated dividends will need to be paid first whenever the company declares dividends.

The amounts of dividends on preferred share for one year is,

Dividends - Preferred shares = 20 * 0.05 * 1500  =  $1500

Thus, the accumulated dividends on these preferred shares at start of 2016 is,

Accumulated dividends - Preferred shares = 1500 * 3 = $4500

The common shares holders are paid after the preferred share holders have been paid. This means that we will deduct the amount of accumulated dividends on preferred shares and the dividends for this year on preferred shares from the total dividends to calculate the amount to be paid to common share holders as dividends.

Common stock dividends =  10000 - (4500 + 1500)   = $4000

Bayside Marina just announced it is decreasing its annual dividend from $1.48 per share to $1.45 per share effective immediately
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

the stock price <u>has decreased in the same proportion as the dividend. </u>

Explanation:

Since we are told that the dividend yield remained the same, and the dividend decreased by 2.03%, we know that the price of the stock decreased by 2.03%.

= [($1.45 - $.148) / $1.48] x 100 = -2.03%

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Bruce Corporation

Minutes of Grinding Machine Time required to satisfy demand for all four products:

Total Grinding Machine Time

Product A  = 4.10 minutes * 4,300 demand units = 17,630 minutes

Product B  = 5.60 minutes * 4,300 demand units = 24,080 minutes

Product C  = 4.60 minutes * 3,300 demand units = 15,180 minutes

Product D  = 3.70 minutes * 2,300 demand units = 8,500 minutes

Total = 65,400 minutes

Explanation:

The total minutes of Grinding Machine Time required to satisfy monthly demand for each product is calculated by multiplying the units demanded by the grinding minutes per unit.

This gives total minutes required for each product.  Then, when they are summed, the total Grinding Machine Time is obtained.

This total can be compared to the total available minutes per month of 53,900 to obtain the additional minutes required above the minutes available in order to satisfy the products' demands.
