Answer:

Dividends would increase by $552500.

Explanation:

Original capital budget         $3,000,000

New capital budget              $2,150,000

Net income                            $3,500,000

% Debt                                          35%

                                                         Old                    New

% Debt                                                   35%                 35%

% Equity = 1 – %Debt                            65%                 65%

Capital budget                              $3,000,000            $2,150,000

Net income (NI)                         $3,500,000              $3,500,000

Equity needed to support

the capital budget =

%Equity * Capital budget               $1,950,000               $1,397,500

Dividends paid =                            $1,550,000               $2,102,500

NI - Equity needed

if positive.

Increase in dividends paid = $2,102,500 - $1,550,000 = $552500.

A "Name That Tune" contest has a grand prize of $500,000. However, the contest stipulates that the winner will receive just $200
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is (C) $401,302

Explanation:

To get how much the contest winner actually won, we have to calculate the amount receive at the end of each year discounted at this moment. Then,  we added  all the payments.  

For example, the first payment in  $200,000 at this moment,  so we add  $200,000.  

At the end of the first year we receive $30,000, and the rate of discount is 8%

The formula of discount is P=A/ (1+r)ⁿ

A=Final amount  

P= Principal

r= interest rate

n= time

Year 1 = A/ (1+r)ⁿ =$30,000/1,08¹= 27777,77

Year 2 =$30,000/1,08²= 25720,16

Year 3=23814,96

Year 4=22050,89

Year 5=20417,49

Year 6=18905,08

Year 7=17504,71

Year 8=16208,06

Year 9=15007,46

Year 10=13895,80

 

Total  401302,44

pychu [463]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

With regards to the above, the entry to record of March 30 would be;

Debit stock dividends $140,400

Credit common stock dividends distributable $108,000

Credit paid in capital in excess of par $32,400

Calculations;

= 60,000 shares of $10 par value

= $600,000 × Stock dividend

= $600,000 × 18%

= $108,000

Stock dividend = 60,000 shares of $13 market value

= $780,000 × Stock dividend

= $780,000 × 18%

= $140,400

Additional paid in capital = $140,400 - $108,000 = $32,400
