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.
Before introducing yourself, it is imperative that you fully inform yourself about the two cases to be discussed, and what the effects of each have on the organization. It is also important to make a hypothetical situation of each case and to observe probable causes and effects that will assist in creating the probable scenario and in decision making.
Answer:A 5% Portfolio Standard deviation will be achieve if Frances invests 25% percents in diversified risky stocks and 75% risk free bonds
Explanation:
Portfolio weights = 25% risk free and 75% diversified risky stocks
Portfolio standard deviation = 15%
Portfolio Standard Deviation = weight of risky stocks x Total standard deviation
15% = 0.75 x total standard deviation
total standard deviation = 15%/0.75 = 20%
5% = Portfolio weight x 20%
total standard deviation = 5%/20% = 0.25 = 25%
A 5% Portfolio Standard deviation will be achieve if Frances invests 25% percents in diversified risky stocks and 75% risk free bonds
Answer:
(i) 2.71 years
(ii) 5.38 years
(iii) Never or 0
Explanation:
1. Payback period:
= Initial cost ÷ cash inflows
= 1625 ÷ 600
= 2.71 years(Approx).
2. Payback period:
= Initial cost ÷ cash inflows
= 3225 ÷ 600
= 5.38 years(Approx).
3. The payback period for an initial cost of $5,100 is a little trickier.
Notice that the total cash inflows after eight years will be:
= 8 × $600
= $4,800
Payback period
= Initial cost ÷ cash inflows
= 5100 ÷ 600
= 8.5
This answer does not make sense since the cash flows stop after eight years, so again, we must conclude the payback period is never.
