Answer:

The total amount of dividends paid over these three years: $8000

Explanation:

  • Net income (loss) in three years

$7,100, ($1,600), and $3,600  

=> the total net income is the first three years of operation is:

$7,100 -  ($1,600) +  $3,600  

= $9,100

This money is not kept in the Retained Earnings because it is used for dividend payment. But Earnings balance at the end of year three is $1,100, so the total amount of dividends paid over these three years:

= Total net incomes - Retained Earnings

= $9,100 - $1,100,  

= $8000

Hope it will find you well.

Answer:

Total amount of dividends paid over these three years is equal to the values of accumulated net income or losses less the balance of Retained Earnings.

This value is $7,400 (7,100+3,000-1,600) - 1,100.

Explanation:

Retained Earnings are the total amounts from net income or loss that are not distributed to stockholders.  They are usually re-invested in the company to earn more income.

The allocation of surplus income between retained earnings and dividends is one of the decisions that a company makes to balance stockholders' expectation for immediate returns and long-term growth of their investments.  It is a very delicate decision that must be taken to meet the varying expectations of stockholders.

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Increasing the sales price is a bad idea since total revenues will decrease.

Explanation:

The question is incomplete since we are not given the information about other costs, but we are given enough information to calculate the price elasticity of demand:

PED = % change in quantity demanded / % change in price = -12% / 7.5% = -1.6 or |1.6| in absolute terms.

Since the PED is |1.6|, it is price elastic. This means that a change in price will result in a proportionally larger change in quantity demanded. E.g. assume original price is $100 and the original quantity demanded is 100. Total revenue = $10,000. If the price increases to $107.50, the quantity demanded will decrease to 88, resulting in a total revenue of $9,460.

Elina [12.6K]
20% down will be $50,000 so the balance will be $200,000 to take out a mortgage for. The higher the down payment the lower the mortgage required and lower payments would ensue also. Also, once one has a mortgage it ie wise to pay it by the week to reduce the interest. Over time this practice makes a difference.
