Answer:

61.09 %

Explanation:

For computing the retention ratio we need to do the following calculations

Beginning Retained earnings = $4,925

And,

Net Income = $938

So, before dividend Retained earnings is

= $4,925 + $938

= $5,863

Now the total amount paid is

= before dividend Retained earnings - ending retained earnings

= $5,863 - $5,498

= $365

Now

The Dividend payout ratio is

= Dividend paid ÷ Net Income

= $365 ÷ $938

= 0.389126

And, finally

Retention ratio is

= 1 - Dividend payout ratio

= 1 - 0.389126

= 0.610874 or 61.09 %

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

The statement is True

If Brazilian oranges entered the United States, the number of oranges in the market would be higher, and if the quantity demanded remained more or less stable, the oranges prices would fall.

Changes in supply are those produced by anything other than price, thus, in this example we can see a change in supply, because the higher number of oranges has come from the market entry of new competitors : the brazilian orange providers.

Sabv Corporation's break-even-point in sales is $840,000, and its variable expenses are 75% of sales. If the company lost $34,00
zhuklara [117]

Answer:sales must have amounted to:$704,000

Explanation:

Contribution ratio = Sales ratio - Variable cost ratio

= 100%- 75%

=25%

Sales to break even = Fixed expenses / Contribution margin ratio

Therefore,

 Fixed expenses = Sales to break even   x  Contribution margin ratio

=$840,000 x 25%

=$210,000

Contribution margin can also be calculated as

Fixed expenses- Operating loss

=$210,000 -$34,000

=$176,000

Sales = Contribution margin/ Contribution ratio

= $176,000/25% =$704,000

Mazyrski [523]

Incontestability clause - This tells us the insurance company may not contest the validity of the policy during the insured's lifetime for any reason, including fraud, if the policy has been in effect for a predetermined duration

What is incontestability clause?

An incontestability clause in a life insurance policy safeguards the policyholder and forbids the insurer from changing any aspect of the insurance coverage as a result of a misinterpretation or false statements made by the insured (the policyholder) after a certain amount of time. A life insurance policy's provider cannot revoke any statement after a specified period of time thanks to an incontestability provision. This provision is frequently regarded as offering policyholders the most robust defense.

leonid [27]

Answer:

Decrease by $1

Explanation:

Given:

Old data:

Q0 = 2,000 units

P0 = $20

Total revenue before change = 2,000 x $20 = $40,000

After change in Price.

Q1 = 2,100 units

P1 = $19

Total revenue After change = 2,100 x $19 = $39,900

Computation of Marginal Revenue:

Marginal Revenue = (P1 - P0) / (Q1 - Q0)

= ($39,900 - $40,000) / (2,100 - 2,000)

= -100 / 100

= $(-1)

Marginal revenue will decrease by $1
