Answer:

No it will not, the statement is incorrect.

Explanation:

if the firm is making a profit, then it means it is growing, so we must determine the firm's growth rate:

firm's growth rate = return on assets (ROA) x (1 - dividends paid)

since we are not given ROA, we must calculate it first:

ROA = net profit x asset turnover =  6% x 2 = 12%

now we go back, firm's growth rate = return on assets (ROA) x (1 - dividends paid) = 12% x (1 - 40%) = 12% x 0.6 = 7.2%

The firm can manage to support an annual growth rate of up to 7.2% before it needs to borrow money or issue new stocks.

Answer:

If a cheque was being issued to settle a account payable, the relevant entry is to debit the accounts payable account to show that the debt is being reduced. You will then credit the cash account to show that cash is being reduced as well because it was used to pay off the debt.

IRINA_888 [86]
<span>"a 3/1 ARM" means starting at a fixed interest rate for the first 3 years and the interest rate will adjust every year after the first three years  up to the part where it mentions a "3/9 cap". This on the other hand tells us that the increase will be 3% each time there is an interest rate increase and the max increase is 9%. Hence the answer is 9%</span>
