Answer:
$232,400
Explanation:
Data provided
Net increase in Retained Earnings = $182,000
Dividend declared for the year = $50,400
The computation of net income for the current year is shown below:-
Net income for the current year = Net increase in Retained Earnings + Dividend declared for the year
= $182,000 + $50,400
= $232,400
Therefore for computing the net income for the current year we simply added the net increase in retained earning with dividend declared for the year.

Answer:
I could display the qualities of a visionary leader by offering a coherent vision for the future, and a good economic plan.
Explanation:
A visionary leader in such a dire situation would first of all show a guide to the people, would tell them that there is hope, and would explain to them why such hope still exists.
Such leader would also lay out an economic plan that can resolve, at least, some of the economic issues of the country, because it is true that no plan is perfect, and no government policy solves all problems by itself.
Answer:
After 14 years, the compounded value of the invested amount = $733,200.27
Explanation:
What the question is asking us to find is the future value of an amount that is invested over a period of 14 years, compounded at 15% semiannually.
The formula is:

where ;
FV = Future value
PV = present value (principal)
i = nominal interest
n = compounding frequency in a year
t = total number of years.
Note: for investments that are compounded annually, n = 1, because compounding is once in a year, for those compounded semiannually, n=2, because compounding is twice in a year, for compounding done quarterly, n = 4 because there are four quarters in a year and so on.
Putting, the values into the equation above;


= $733,200 (to the nearest dollar)
