Answer:

$220,000

Explanation:

From the Accounting Equation we know:

Assets = Liabilities + Shareholders' equity

Net Income is the amount we add in the Shareholders' equity as Retained Earnings and Dividend Paid amount is deducted from the Shareholders' equity, So by putting in the values given in the question, we get;

Total Assets = Total Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity + Net Income - Dividend Paid

$240,000 = $120,000  +$160,000 + $180,000 - Dividend Paid

Dividend Paid = $460,000 - $240,000

Dividend Paid = $220,000

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Dividend distribution in the first year = 120,000 shares of outstanding common stock

Each right was exercisable.

You are the newly appointed sales manager of the Rock Record Company and have been charged with the task of increasing revenues.
djyliett [7]

Answer:

increase the price of our products or services.

Explanation:

When the price elasticity is less than 1 (inelastic), then an increase in the price of our products or services will result in a proportionally smaller decrease in the quantity demanded. Therefore, by increasing our prices, we can increase total revenue even if the quantity demanded decreases a little.

Two investment advisers are comparing performance. One averaged a 19% return and the other a 16% return. However, the beta for t
finlep [7]

Answer: Adviser B is the superior stock selector.

Explanation:

For the comparision between the two investment advisers, the Jenson's Alpha will be utilized.

Jenson's Alpha:

= Portfolio Actual Return - CAPM(Benchmark Portfolio Return)

T Bill Rate(Risk free rate) = 6%

Market return(E(Em) = 14%

Beta of Investment Adviser A = 1.5

Beta of Investment Adviser B = 1

For Adviser A:

CAPM = Risk free return + Beta ( E(Rm) - Risk free return)

CAPM(Benchmark Portfolio) = 6 + 1.5 (14-6)

= 6 + 12

= 18%

Actual Return = 19%

Jenson's Alpha = 19% - 18% = 1%

For Adviser B:

CAPM = Risk free return + Beta ( E(Rm) - Risk free return)

CAPM(Benchmark Portfolio) = 6 + 1(14-6) = 6 + 1(8) = 14%

Actual Return = 16%

Jenson's Alpha = 16% - 14% = 2%

Adviser B is a better selector because he has a larger alpha of 2% compared to Adviser A who has 1%.

T Bill Rate(Risk free rate) = 3%

Market return(E(Rm) = 15%

Beta of Investment Adviser A = 1.5

Beta of Investment Adviser B = 1

For Adviser A:

CAPM = Risk free return + Beta ( E(Rm) - Risk free return)

CAPM(Benchmark Portfolio) = 3 + 1.5 (15-3)

= 3 + 18

= 21%

Actual Return = 19%

Jenson's Alpha = 19% - 21% = -2%

For Adviser B:

CAPM = Risk free return + Beta ( E(Rm) - Risk free return)

CAPM(Benchmark Portfolio) = 3 + 1(15-3) = 3 + 1(12) = 15%

Actual Return = 16%

Jenson's Alpha = 16% - 15% = 1%

Given the changes, Adviser B is still the better selector because he has a larger alpha of 1% compared to Adviser A who has -2%.
