Answer:
Total amount of dividends paid over the last three years is $20500
Explanation:
The net income of the company is either retained in the company or paid out as dividends. To calculate the value of the ending retained earnings, we use the following formula,
Ending balance = Beginning balance + Net Income - Dividends
We first need to calculate the total net income for the 3 year period. The total net income for the 3 year period is, 3 * 6500 = $19500
Plugging in the available values for the ending and beginning balance of retained earnings and net income, we can calculate the value of total dividends paid for the three year period.
15000 = 16000 + 19500 - Dividends
Dividends = 35500 - 15000
Dividends = $20500
Answer:
1-a.
in order to determine the present value of option a we can look for the PVIFA (annuity factor) for 24% / 12 = 2% monthly rate and 25 payments.
PVIFA = 19.523
Present value of the 25 payments = $540 x 19.523 = $10,542.42
+
Present value of final payment = $10,000 / (1 + 24%)²⁵/¹² = $6,388.10
PV = $16,930.52
Present value of option b = $16,638
1-b.
- b. option b (lower present value)
Answer:
a. monopolistic elements in the economy will prevent an immediate sharp fall in prices as a result of decreasing demand
Explanation:
When there is recession the price of the factor goes down and with that, the insufficient demand for a certain good or services is eliminated. The reasoning is that the decrease in prices stimulates demand and adjust the market.
Keynes among other economist consider that unemployment increase during recessions because the nominal wages rate do not fall. As the union and worker do not want to see their wage decrease. Same is applied to prices which makes then inflexible in a downward direction.
While "supply creates its own demand" is "Says's Law" which is rejected in keynes main book "The general theory"
