The statement, "The purchase of treasury stock usually restricts the amount of retained earnings available for cash dividends." is true .

Option a

Explanation: 

The stock in the bank is the term for originally sold securities that the issuing firm has retained. If a corporation sells some of its released and outstanding securities, the sale drastically alters its retained profits.

As the balance sheet show all remaining earnings and the equity fund, sums available to pay dividends drop. The price of the stock in treasury should be reduced by the retained revenues, which reduce the amounts that the business can dividend to shareholders.

Sometimes a business needs the share-earnings ratio to be improved. If a company bought out many of its own shares, it reduces the number of released and outstanding activities raises the earnings per stake in the company and makes the assets more appealing for buyers.

You deposit $1,100 at the end of each year into an account paying 9.1 percent interest.

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

The money that we will have in account is $51156.41

The money that we will have in account is $318808.31

Explanation:

The deposits made in the account represent an annuity pattern as the deposits made are of a constant amount, are made after equal interval of time and are for a defined time period. Thus, to calculate the value of money that we will have after 19 years, we will use the formula for the future value of annuity.

The formula for the future value of annuity is attached.

FV = 1100 * [ (1+0.091)^19 - 1 / 0.091 ]

FV = $51156.41178

The same formula for the future value of annuity will be used and we will change n from 19 to 38.

FV = 1100 * [ (1+0.091)^38 - 1 / 0.091 ]

FV = $318808.3149

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for the the analysis showing whether the old machine should be retained or replaced.

Variable Manufacturing cost of Retain = Initial Variable Manufacturing cost * remaining useful life of old machine = $592,600 * 5 = $2,963,000

Variable Manufacturing cost of Replace = New Variable Manufacturing cost * Remaining useful life of new machine = $505,500 * 5 = $2,527,500

From the attached excel, it can be observed that the total cost of Retain is $32,200 higher than the total cost of Replace. This therefore implies that the old machine should be replaced.
