Commercials during high visibility events like the World Series cost more than during non-peak times,
Market share is the part of the total sales held by one seller.
For example, a monopolist holds 100 percent of total sales. The 100 percent refers to the market share. In a monopoly, only one business has the good or service that is being offered in the market. Thus, consumers have no other choice but to purchase said good or service from the monopolist.
Answer:
Net income = $169.2
Growth in dividend = 76.25%
Explanation:
The projected figures are as below:
Sales = $700 x (1 + 15%) = $805 <em>(15% increase in sales)</em>
Operating costs including depreciation = $805 x 60% = $483 <em>(60% of sales)</em>
Interest expense = 40 <em>(remain constant)</em>
EBIT = Sales - Operating costs including depreciation = $805 - $483 = $322
EBT = EBIT - Interest expense = $322 - $40 = $282
Net income = EBT x (1 - Tax rate) = $282 x (1 - 40$) = $169.2
Dividend = Net income x Dividend payout ratio = $169.2 x (32/96) = $56.4
Growth in dividend = $56.4/$32 = 76.25%

Answer: C. Declaration and payment of cash dividends will reduce the amount of cash available to invest in assets.
Explanation:
When a company pays out Dividends it gives out money to it's shareholders and this has the effect of decreasing the cash balance that the company has.
This is cash that could have gone into investing and expanding the business but instead has gone to shareholders. Dividends therefore reduce the money available for investments.
It is for this reason that Growth Companies do not pay much dividends as they keep reinvesting profits to increase capacity and this usually adds value to the company and increases their stock price within a shorter period of time.
Answer:
Explanation:
Let x be the amount loaned at 7% and ($19,000 - x) be the amount loaned at 15%
Given:
Interest incurred at 7%, I1 + Interest incurred at 15%, I2 = $2000
Interest, I = amount × rate
I1 = 7/100 × x
I2 = 15/100 × ($19,000 - x)
From the above expressions,
(0.07)x + (0.15) × ($19,000 - x) = $2,000
Solving for x,
0.07x + 2850 - 0.15x = 2000
Collecting like terms,
0.08x = 850
x = $10625
The amount loaned at 7% interest is
$10625
The amount loaned at 15% interest is ($19000 - $10625)
= $8375
