Answer:

Increasing dividends may not always increase the stock price, because less earnings may be invested back into the firm and that impedes growth.

Explanation:

if increasing dividends results in the company not having enough funds for reinvestment, then value of the company may go down, since value of a stock is the present value of all expected cash-flows from holding the stock. But, if the company is paying dividend from free cash flows, then the payment of the dividend will not negatively affect the value of the stock.

In summary, paying a dividend will not always increase the stock price, and will not always decrease the stock price.

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": Increasing dividends may not always increase the stock price, because less earnings may be invested back into the firm and that impedes growth.

Explanation:

Dividends are one of the main determinants of corporate interest, according to the Dividend Discount Model (<em>DDM</em>). The other determinant is the risk of cash flows from the product, which is expressed in the rate of return expected. Because of the need for reinvestment, most fast-growing companies do not pay dividends. It is only from free cash flow that dividends should be paid, otherwise, if taken the payment from the earnings, investments in the company will be less.

Petro Roos is thinking of purchasing the business premises rather than renting it. Provide Two separate advantages and two separ
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

Advantages of buying business premises

There are considerable advantages to securing a mortgage to buy business premises, including:

  1. your mortgage repayment is likely to be similar to or less than a rental payment on the same property
  2. with a fixed rate mortgage, your monthly repayments will be predictable
  3. you aren't exposed to any sudden, large rent increases
  4. you may be able to sublet any free space, reducing your monthly repayments (you may require permission from your lender to do so) and allowing you to generate extra income
  5. interest payments on a commercial mortgage are tax-deductible
  6. any gain in value of the property will increase your capital
  7. as your business grows, you may be able to extend your existing premises, avoiding relocation costs
  8. you have control over what alterations you want to make to your office space

Disadvantages of buying business premises

The disadvantages of buying business premises include the following:

  1. Unlike renting, you'll need to come up with a substantial mortgage deposit - this is money that might be used for more important business purposes.
  2. If you own premises, you may find it harder to relocate your business, because selling business premises is a complex and sometimes lengthy process. If you rent, you may be able to negotiate to end your rental agreement, or to find another organisation to take over your tenancy at short-notice.
  3. If you have a variable rate mortgage, you are exposed to increases in interest rates.
  4. Owning a property means you'll be responsible for factors such as maintenance, fixtures and fittings, insurance, decoration and security, which can prove expensive.
  5. Repaying a commercial mortgage

Robert is a single taxpayer who has AGI of $145,000 in 2019; his taxable income is $122,000. What is his federal tax liability f
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

His tax liability for 2019 (due April 2020) is $23,359.50

Explanation:

Since Robert s a single filer, he falls under the fourth tax bracket: income between $84,201 to $160,725. His marginal tax rate is 24%, and his total taxes due are as following:

<u>tax rate</u>         <u>earnings</u>                          <u>taxes due</u>

10%            $0 – $9,875                        $987,50

12%         $9,875 – $40,125                  $3,630

22%        $40,126 – $85,525                $9,988

24%        $85,526 – $122,000              $8,754

                    total                              $23,359.50      

*Option C is the closest one, but it used the 2018 tax brackets, not the 2019.

Pendleton Company, a merchandising company, is developing its master budget for 2015. The income statement for 2014 is as follow
Amanda [17]

Answer:

<u>Budgeted functional income statement for 2015</u>

Gross sales ($2,000,000  × 1.04 × 1.06)                                       $2,204,800

Less: Estimated uncollectible accounts ($2,204,800 × 2 %)         ($44,096)

Net sales                                                                                        $2,160,704

Cost of goods sold (1,100,000 × 1.03)                                          ($1,133,000)

Gross profit                                                                                     $1,027,704

Operating expenses (475,000 × 1.10)                                            ($522,500)

Depreciation                                                                                     ($25,000)

Net income                                                                                       $480,204

Explanation:

Make the adjustments stated on the 2014 Income Statement.

For Operating Expenses, it is wise to first remove the depreciation expense and apply the increment of 10% to reflect Operating Costs for 2015.

Treat Depreciation Expense separately and at the same amount as for 2014, since depreciation is calculated on straight line method.
