Answer:

Most economists view the proposals for a perpetually balanced budget with bemusement

Explanation:

A balanced budget is a budget where at the end of every year, revenue must equal expenditure. this type of budget can magnify the business cycle. This types of budget contrasts with a cyclically balanced budget

A Cyclically balanced budget is when in a recession, the government makes use of expansionary fiscal policy and in a boom, the government makes use of a contractionary fiscal policy to stabilise the economy. So, in a recession, deficits would be higher and in an expansion, surplus would be higher.

Government sector deficit occurs when government spending exceeds income of the government.

When deficit increases, debt increases. This is because a deficit would need to be funded by additional borrowing

When there is a surplus, government spending is less than the income of the government.

Down Under Boomerang, Inc., is considering a new 3-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $2.
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Explanation: please refer to the explanation section

Initial fixed asset Investment = 2.33million = 2 330 000

Modified Accelerated Cost recovery System

The Fixed Asset Falls under the 3 year MACRS class the project the asset which states that Asset Depreciation range Midpoint is 4 years or less  The period for this project is 3 years

Estimated annual sales = $1735000

costs = $640,000

Initial Net working Capital  investment = $300,000

Residual Value (Value of the fixed asset at the end) = $255,000

a. Projected Cash flows

Year 0

Cash outflows = 2 330 000 - 300 000 - 255 000 = 2375000

                                year 1       year 2         year 3

Estimated sales 1735000 1735000     1735000

costs                  -640000    -640000      -640000

Depreciation     -791666.67  -791666.67    -791666.67

Residual Value<u>                     255000 </u>

Net sales          303333.33     303333.33  558333.33

Tax  25%  -<u>75833.33 -75833.33 -139583.33</u>

Net Cash flows  <u>227500           227500              418750</u>

Depreciation = (2330 00 + 300 000 -255000)/3= 791666.67

Tax =  Net sales x 25%

b Net Present Value (Required rate Return = 9%)

PV  =  227500/(1+0.09)^1 + 227500/(1 + 0.09)^2 + 418750/(1+0.09)^3

Present Value of cash flows = 723549.63

Net Present Value = 723549.63 - 2630 000 = -1906450.37

The net present Value is Negative indicating the project will not bring positive returns

Cork Inc. declared a $160,000 cash dividend. It currently has 6,000 shares of 7%, $100 par value cumulative preferred stock outs
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

$124,000 is the correct answer if we use 6% which is the correct question scenario. If we take 7% then its

Explanation:

The cash dividend announced is $160,000. Remember the first payment goes to preferred shareholders and then the amount left would be distributed among the ordinary shareholders.

The dividend share of Preferred shareholders = 6000 shares * $100 par value * 6% fixed rate = $36,000

After deducting this amount from the dividend announce will go to ordinary shareholders and is calculated as under:

Share of Dividend of ordinary shareholders = $160,000 - $36,000

= $124,000

Similarly if we use 7% fixed rate, then

The dividend share of Preferred shareholders = 6000 shares * $100 par value * 7% fixed rate = $42,000

After deducting this amount from the dividend announce will go to ordinary shareholders and is calculated as under:

Share of Dividend of ordinary shareholders = $160,000 - $42,000

= $124,000

Using the dividend growth model, explain why a firm would be hesitant to reduce the growth rate of its dividends.
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

If a firm decreases its sustainable growth rate (g), the price of their stock will probably decrease. I will use the following example:

P₀ = Div₁ / (Re - g)

  • Div₁ = $2
  • Re = 12%
  • g = 5%

P₀ = $2 / (12% - 5%) = $28.57

if the growth rate g decreases to 2%, and the rest remains unchanged, then

P₀ = $2 / (12% - 2%) = $20

"Mrs. Smith operates a business in a competitive market. The current market price is $8.10. At her profit-maximizing level of pr
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Mrs.Smith should continue to operate the business in the short run but shut down in the long run.

Explanation:

According to the shut down rule, at the profit-maximizing positive level of output, a business in a competitive market should continue to operate in the short-term if the price equals to or is greater than the average variable cost, but should shut down in the long term if the price is less than or equal to total cost. Here,

price = $8.10

avg variable cost = $8.00

avg total cost = $8.25

Mrs.Smith should continue to operate the business in the short run but shut down in the long run.
