Answer:

decrease total assets and stockholders' equity

Explanation:

At the time of declaration a liability increases, against dividend expense.

At the time of payment that liability is settled by paying in cash.

Thus net effect of both transactions is decrease in cash and increase in expenses.

If we carefully analyse the options, then

we get that there is decrease in assets in the form of cash and decrease in equity as expenses decrease retained earnings which are owner's equity.

Therefore, correct option is

decrease total assets and stockholders' equity.

Because better weather makes farmland more productive, farmland in regions with good weather conditions is more expensive than f
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

The price of farmland is actually very stable, although it has slightly decreased in the last few years. But the decrease is not because farmland is more or less productive, but because the price of crops decreased a lot in the last 4 years. Do to president's Trump trade wars, the demand for US crops fell dramatically. This hurt farmers a lot, not because the price of their land decreased, but because their revenues collapsed. A farm is just like any other business, if the cash flows decrease by 30 or 40%, it is normal that the price of the business will decrease.

Actually the price of farmland didn't decrease as much as their cash flows. Each farmer probably lost at least 30% of their total revenues, but the price of the land only decreased by 0.8% on average. This happens because the supply of land is extremely inelastic. You cannot just make more farmland, it doesn't work that way.

As productivity increases, the price of farmland increases also. But on the long run, as the prices and productivity increases, new technologies increase productivity even more, diminishing the amount of farmland needed to produce the same output. Farmland productivity has increased a lot in the past decades, which has increased total food production. The problem is that as more food is supplied, its price goes down. This results in prices of farmland decreasing over time due to technological break troughs.

This only happens in some countries like the US, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, and a few others where farmland is extremely abundant and the population per square mile is very low. In other places, e.g. south east Asia, where people are packed like sardines, the price of land hasn't stop rising and will continue to rise because the demand is much higher than the supply.

Benefits can represent more than ______ of the employer's total payroll costs. a. 28 percent b. 7 percent c. 66 percent d. 12 pe
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

b. 7 percent

Explanation:

Benefits here means the statutory benefits that the employees have a right to receive. These on the legal terms are the requirements, as the employer is required to contribute around 7.65% of the salary paid to the employee towards benefits of social security and Medicare.

This clearly is the standard set for the payroll. Now this also provides for the minimum contributions, thus it provides that at-least these are to be made.

Thus, each employer when making a standard salary shall contribute more than 7% towards the benefits of the employees.

Less: write off 7,500

add: decrease in accounts payable 17,000

total cash paid to suppliers is 62,000

*increase in inventory implies an additional purchase made by the company
