Answer: B. Maintaining a steady dividend is a key goal of most dividend-paying companies.

Explanation:

Companies that pay dividends prefer in general, to maintain a steady dividend overtime. This does not necessarily mean that they will pay the same amount of dividend but rather that they will pay out dividends as within a certain percentage range of the net income.

Companies do not prefer to cut dividends so as not to send the wrong message so A is wrong. Share repurchases reduces agency costs so C is wrong. Short term fluctuations in cash flow are not the key favor in determining dividend policy as the company might still pay out the same regardless so this is wrong as well. Option B is the best answer.

Death benefit proceeds from a life insurance policy are included in a decedent's gross estate in which of the following circumst
Katarina [22]

Answer:

B. 1 and 2.

Explanation:

Life insurance policy can be defined as a contract between a policyholder and an insurer, in which the insurer agrees to pay an amount of money to a specific beneficiary either upon the death of the insured person (decedent) or after a set period of time.

A decedent refers to a deceased person who is no longer able to control his or her properties (wealth).

Generally, insurance companies across the globe charge millions of their customers (insured) premiums every year. This gives them the privilege of having a pool of cash which can be used to cover the cost of losses and destruction to the asset of a small fraction or percentage of its customers.

This simply means that, since insurance companies collect premium from all of their customers for losses which may or may not occur, so they can easily use this cash to compensate or indemnify for losses incurred by those having high risk.

Death benefit proceeds from a life insurance policy are included in a decedent's gross estate in the following circumstances:

I. The decedent gave the policy to his father four years ago, but retained the right to change the name of the beneficiary.

II. The policy beneficiary is a grantor trust of the decedent but the policy is owned by a closely-held corporation.

ozzi

The correct answer is D) maintain a uniform level of required resources.

The start of noncritical activities is delayed beyond their earliest start times (but not beyond their latest start times) in order to maintain a uniform level of required resources.

That is why companies have to establish their priorities and identify the main activities that must be accomplished on time, the people responsible to accomplish the activity, and the resources needed to successfully do so. Noncritical activities can be delayed up to a point, but the critical activities have to be followed according to the schedule.

Suppose, that after a successful career, a worker retired precisely as planned with precisely the amount saved that they intende
IgorC [24]

Answer: Yes it is

Explanation:

The Permanent Income Hypothesis posits that human expenditure in the short term is based on the amount of income they expect to get as income over the long term.

If a person for instance, knows that they will receive a pay cut at the end of the year, they will probably spend less today to survive the pay cut.

Same goes for the worker in this scenario. They know that the amount they saved is all they have now and into the future so they are adjusting their expenses to ensure they survive on that saving.
