Answer:

Explanation:

Dividends.

Usually now days, the rate of return is anywhere from 3 to 8 %. That means that if you have 10000$ worth of stock, you should expect about 300 dollars per year back. Doesn't sound like much, but it can build up.

Shares are what you buy that return the dividends. 1 share brings back so much money. You don't have to sell the shares to get the money. I have no idea what allotments and dispensations are when referring to stocks.

Answer:

$468,844 approx.

Explanation:

Assumption: Since the question is incomplete, with the available information it has been construed that calculation of bond price is required and the question has been solved accordingly.

The price of a bond is the present value of future cash receipts it generates to the investor in the form of interest stream and principal stream.

$B_{0} = \frac{i}{(1\ +\ ytm)^{1} }\ +\ \frac{i}{(1\ +\ ytm)^{2} }\ +.....+\frac{i}{(1\ +\ ytm)^{n} } \ + \frac{RV}{(1\ +\ ytm)^{n} }$

wherein,

$B_{0}$ = price of bond as on today

i = annual coupon payments

ytm= investor's expectation of interest or market rate of interest on similar bonds

RV = Redemption value of such bonds assumed to be the face value

n = term to maturity

$B_{0} = \frac{22500}{(1\ +\ .05)^{1} }\ +\ \frac{22500}{(1\ +\ .05)^{2} }\ +.....+\frac{22500}{(1\ +\ .05)^{20} } \ + \frac{500000}{(1\ +\ .05)^{20} }$

$B_{0}=$ 12.46221 × 22,500 + 0.376889 × 22,500 = 280,399.725 + 188444.5

$B_{0} =$ $468,844 approx

This is the present value of the bond which is lower than it's face value because market rate of return of similar bonds is higher than the coupon rate of payment by Westside Corporation.

Answer:

$0.3 per machine hour

Explanation:

The computation of the variable maintenance cost per machine hour using the high low method is shown below:

Variable cost per machine hour = (High maintenance cost - low maintenance cost) ÷ (High machine hours - low machine hours)

= ($9,000 - $7,200) ÷ (20,000 machine hours - 14,000 machine hours)

= $1,800 ÷ 6,000 machine hours

= $0.3 per machine hour

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer is D. remain at $30,000.

Explanation:

Rick's Internet Corporation balance in retained earnings = $30,000

Appropriated earning for future business expansion = $15,000

This appropriated earning set for future use will have no effect on the total retained earnings, because for appropriate retained earnings, the entry is to debit the retained earnings account.

Also, it would be board's decision if they want to use the money from the retained earnings or add more capital to it.
