Answer:
RE break point = $24500
Explanation:
21,000 net income
30% OF Earnings as dividends
21,000 x 30% = 6,300 dividends
Retained Earnings (assuming no previous beginning value)
21,000 - 6,300 = 14,700
RE break point = 14,700/0.6 = 24500
What does the $24,500 mean?
This mean that the company can raise financing for this ammount without changing their capital structure (60% equity 40% debt)
If the company wants to finance for more, it will need to raise new shares or chance their capital structure, and therefore the WACC will change
Answer:
EMI=P*r * (1+r)^n/(1+r)^n-1
Where EMI= equal monthly installments
P=Principal amount
r=rate of interest
n=numer of periods
Explanation:
P=$184,500
r=4.65%/12=.3875%
n=30*12=360
EMI=$184,500*.3875%*(1+.3875%)^360/((1+.3875%)^360-1)
EMI=$951
Interest in first monthly installment=$715
Principal Amount in first monthly installment=$236
Answer:
d) decease in demand
Explanation:
When the produce of sweet corn crop rises by 20%, this would lead to an increase in supply. With increase in supply, the price of sweet corn shall fall, which would lead to an increase in demand as now consumers will consume more of sweet corn.
Since the relationship between price of a good and demand for it's substitute is positive, the demand for the substitute shall fall.
Thus, demand for frozen peas shall decrease as demand for sweet corn has increased.
Answer:
The correct answer is A. Both Laura and Cassie are correct.
Explanation:
Since Laura says that the present value of $ 700 to be received one year from today if the interest rate is 6 percent is less than the present value of $ 700 to be received two years from today if the interest rate is 3 percent, and Cassie says that $ 700 saved for one year at 6 percent interest has a smaller future value than $ 700 saved for two years at 3 percent interest, to determine who is right, the following calculations must be performed:
700 x 1.06 = 742
700 x 1.03 ^ 2 = 742.63
Therefore, both Laura and Cassie are correct in their claims.
