Answer:
The cash flow to stockholders amounts to $45
Explanation:
Cash flow to stockholders is the term which is defined as the cash amount which the company pays out to the shareholders.
The cash flow to stockholders is computed as:
Cash flow to stockholders = Dividend paid - New equity raised
where
Dividend paid is computed as:
Dividend paid = Net Income × %
= $360 × 35%
= $126
New equity raised is $81
So, putting the values above:
Cash flow to stockholders = $126 - $81
Cash flow to stockholders = $45
Answer:
The marginal benefit from selling the vane without restoring it is $200.
Explanation:
Marginal benefits are the extra income a company can get from selling one additional unit of production.
Zane had already spent $250 in purchasing the vane and the restoration process.
Zane has two options:
- Sell the vane as it is for $200.
- Keep restoring the vane, spend $200 more and sell the vane for $500.
If Zane decides to sell the vane as it is, his marginal benefit will be $200. That would not be enough to cover his costs, this transaction will result in a $50 loss.
If Zane decides to continue the restoration, then his marginal costs will be $200 extra, but his marginal benefit would be $500. If he chose this option he could end up earning a $50 profit.
Answer:
$224,174
Explanation:
Note : I have uploaded the full question below :
The Principle P that is required can be calculated from the given data though discounting future cash flows as follows :
FV = $1,000,000
r = 7½%
t = 20 × 12 = 240
P/yr = 12
Pmt = $0
PV = ?
Using a Financial Calculator to input the values as shown above, the PV would be $224,174 . Thus, the principal P that must be invested must be $224,174.
