Answer with Explanation:

Requirement 1:

The companies whose products are in growth phase or the company is cash cow which has a well diversified products does not have to invest in adding a new product line because their earnings are already stable enough or that they don't have to invest much because sufficient profits are left after extracting for investments. Increase in dividends has two meanings that either the management is confident enough that they think that the company will be able to earn more in the future and they will achieve better position in future which is a good news in the stock exchange and for investors as well and investor invest more in the company's ordinary stock.

Company start Stock repurchase program which is to buyback its previously issued ordinary shares which is because the management thinks that the stock is undervalued and thus they repurchase their ordinary shares so that the stock will go up in near future and this will benefit the company and the existing shareholders as well. This also helps in increasing earnings per share, return on equity, etc because the equity is reduced by share repurchase program.

Stock repurchase program is also run by the organization because they don't find any attractive opportunities. This means that the company does not have any large investment opportunities which means growth in revenue and profit can not be expected in the future years. Thus when the company starts repurchasing of stock the investor starts selling their stocks.

Requirement 2:

If the company thinks that they can increase the worth of shareholders beyond their shareholder's expectation then they don't pay dividend and invest in projects to increase the sales growth, profits and market share significantly in the coming future.

Some long term shareholders think this is a great news whereas short term investors who are looking for dividends will sell the stock which means that the stock value may fall in near future but in long run the company stock value increase when the investment will start showing its results.

Answer:

B) did not file the complaint within 45 days of the event.

Explanation:

Time limits matter and in this case Catherine should have approached the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission before.

All she can do now is wait until next April and if her work is not properly recognized at that moment, then she should immediately file a complaint (at least before the 45 day limit expires).

Seven years ago, you paid $324,800 to purchase a rental house. the maintenance expenses average $200 a month and property taxes
Mariulka [41]

The value that would be assigned to this house if you decide to use it as your office would be $ 425300

<h3>How to solve for the value of the house using opportunity cost</h3>

To get the value of the house, you have to get the opportunity cost of the house. This is the foregone alternative or benefits forgone due to another choice.

The formula is opportunity cost = Apprised Value - Selling costs

The apprised value = $439,500.

selling cost =  $14,200

$439,500 - $14,200

= $ 425300

Hence the value that should be assigned to it is $ 425300

As the production planner for Xiangling Hu Products, Inc., you have been given a bill of material for a bracket that is made up
Klio2033 [76]
<h3>Explanation:</h3><h3>Part (a):</h3>

Solved part is attached as an image.

<h3>Part (b):</h3>

Let us first determine the amount required of each item to produce 1 bracket.

From the attached diagram, we can see that to manufacture 1 bracket, quantity of each item needed is,

Base = 1

Spring = 2

Clamp = 1 + 4 = 5

Housing = 2

Handle = (1 * 1) + (4 * 1) = 5

Casting = (1 * 1) + (4 * 1) = 5

Bearing = 2 * 2 = 4

Shaft = 2 * 1 = 2

Hence, for 50 Brackets, quantity of each item required will be,

Base = 1 * 50 = 50

Spring = 2 * 50 = 100

Clamp = 5 * 50 = 250

Housing = 2 * 50 = 100

Handle = 5 * 50 = 250

Casting = 5  * 50 = 250

Bearing = 4 * 50 = 200

Shaft = 2 * 50 = 100

<em>NOTE: The above quantities give exclusive quantities required for each item. In actual practice, we won't have to purchase base, clamp & housing separately as the will be assembled from their components which are already procured.</em>

<h3>Part (c):</h3>

As 25 bases are already in stock, parts for them will not be needed. I will refer the quantities subtracted due to this by indicating (B). Similarly, quantities subtracted due to clamps will be indicated as (C).

Base = 50 - 25 = 25

Spring = 50

Clamp = 250 - 100 - 25(B) = 125

Housing = 100 - (2*25)(B) = 50

Handle = 1 * 125 = 125

Casting = 1 * 125 = 125

Bearing = 2 * 50 = 100

Shaft = 1 * 50 = 50

2/31/2020: During 2020, $10,000 in accounts receivable were written off. At the end of the second year of operations, Yolandi Co
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

$395,000

Explanation:

Bad Debt expense:

= 1.5% of sales will be uncollectible

= 1.5% × $1,000,000

= 0.015 × $1,000,000

= $15,000

Allowance for Doubtful accounts:

= Bad Debt expense - accounts receivable written off

= $15,000 - $10,000

= $5,000

Net realizable value:

= Accounts receivable - Allowance for Doubtful accounts

= $400,000 - $5,000

= $395,000

Sarah is using the needs approach to determine how much life insurance to buy. Her cash needs are $30,000; her income needs are
levacccp [35]

Answer:

$130,000

Explanation:

Sarah is making use of the needs approach to determine how much life insurance to buy

The first step is to calculate the total amount of life insurance

Total amount of life insurance = Total needs - total assets

Total need = income needs + cash needs + special needs

= $140,000 + $30,000 + $100,000

= $270,000

Total assets= retirement plan + bank account + investment account

= $30,000 + $20,000 + $40,000

= $90,000

Total amount of life insurance = $270,000-$90,000

= $180,000

Since Sarah is covered by $50,000 group insurance by her employer then the additional life insurance that should be purchased can be calculated as follows

= $180,000 - $50,000

= $130,000
