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.

Jimmy's Peanut Farm wants to increase the quantity of peanuts that it sells by 1 percent. The price elasticity of demand for pea
slega [8]

Answer: Jimmy's Peanut Farm has to decrease its prices by 2.5% in order to achieve a 1% increase in the quantity of peanuts it sells.

Jimmy's Peanut Farm can increase the quantity sold by 1% only when the demand for peanuts increases. Demand for peanuts will increase only when the price of peanuts decrease. The Price Elasticity of Demand measures the responsiveness of demand to a percentage change in price.

The formula for Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) is given by the formula:

\mathbf{PED = \frac{percentage change in quantity}{percentage change in price}}

We have:

Percentage increase in quantity               1%  or 0.01

Price Elasticity of Demand (PED)               0.40

Re-arranging the PED formula above we get,

\mathbf{percentage change in price}= \frac{percentage change in quantity}{PED} *100}

Substituting the values in the equation above we get,

{percentage change in price} = \frac{0.01}{0.4}*100 =2.5

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

$1,560 and $0

Explanation:

According to the accrual method of accounting, the revenue should be recognized when it is realized or when the sale is made not when the cash is received

Since Digby delivers 104 units in April

So for the March income statement, the amount is

= 104 units × $15

= $1,560

And, for the April income statement, it would be zero as the total units order received in March only
