Answer:

most likely will not be held responsible because of the business judgment rule.

Explanation:

A business judgement rule is a legal provision that protects the board of a company from frivolous legal actions as flregards its business decisions.

Boards of companies are assumed to act in good faith, within their fiduciary standards of loyalty, prudence and care that the board owes to shareholders.

It will have to be proven that the board blatantly violated a code of conduct, otherwise the court will review or question it's decisions.

Answer:

will not be held responsible for the loss.

Explanation:

The business judgement rule is a doctrine that affects corporation's management and other agents. This doctrine is based on the idea that all business decisions yield unknown results, even the safest investments or safest projects can go wrong. Only the US government has never defaulted on a loan (US securities) but every other nation or organization has at one point in time defaulted or delayed a payment.

Investors that buy stocks from a corporation know about the risks of running a business, if they do not like to take risks, US securities are always available. As long as management (including the board) acts on good faith, within the normal scope of business, they cannot be held liable for any bad investment carried out.

If this doctrine didn't exist, no one would be able to manage a company, since no one would dare to make any decisions at all. When you calculate the price of stock or the cost of capital, you must add the risk free rate (US securities) + the risk premium.

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer: B. Maintaining a steady dividend is a key goal of most dividend-paying companies.

Explanation:

Companies that pay dividends prefer in general, to maintain a steady dividend overtime. This does not necessarily mean that they will pay the same amount of dividend but rather that they will pay out dividends as within a certain percentage range of the net income.

Companies do not prefer to cut dividends so as not to send the wrong message so A is wrong. Share repurchases reduces agency costs so C is wrong. Short term fluctuations in cash flow are not the key favor in determining dividend policy as the company might still pay out the same regardless so this is wrong as well. Option B is the best answer.

Answer:

The correct answer is B) The appropriateness of interventions

Explanation:

Managed care is evolving in many countries around the world.

One of the ways in which changes are becoming more prevalent is in the managed care industry is that due to competition, that players are beginning to take seriously the quality of health care being given to enrollees.

In Managed care, if customers are treated fairly, they are most likely to return thus creating the possibility for sustained organic growth.

hammer [34]

Answer:

Net income will be $160000

So option (c) will be the correct answer

Explanation:

We have given debt common stock = $680000

Credit liabilities = 350000

Credit paid in capital = 190000

And excess of par 30,000 credit Assuming the only changes in retained earnings

Dividend paid = $50000

So net income = dividend paid + retained earning = $110000+$50000 = $160000

So option (c) will be the correct answer
