Answer:
PV= $37,204.70
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Interest rate= 6% compounded semiannually= 0.03
Future value= $50,000
Number of periods= 5*2= 10
To calculate the initial investment to reach the objective, we need to use the following formula:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 50,000/(1.03^10)
PV= $37,204.70
Answer: initial principal
Explanation:
Compound interest (or compounding interest) is interest calculated on the initial principal, which also includes all of the accumulated interest from previous periods on a deposit or loan.
Answer:
If a company pays more in dividends than it generates in net income, its retained earnings as reported on the balance sheet will decline from the previous year's balance.
Explanation:
The dividend is shown while preparing the retained earning statement. So, it does not affect the net income.
The highly liquid marketable securities does not show a decline in the current assets
If the long term bonds are issued to purchase fixed assets it would show under the long term liabilities and the long term assets rather than the current assets and the current liabilities
Account receivable are reported in the current assets rather than the current liabilities
We know that
The ending balance of retained earning = Beginning balance of retained earnings + net income - dividend paid
If the dividend amount is more than the net income so the ending balance of retained earning will decline than its beginning year balance.
