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:
The interest rate is 11%
Explanation:
The loan amount = $50000
Interest amount = $5500
Since the annual interest amount and the principal amount is given so we have to find the interest rate by using the given information. Below is the formula to find the interest rate.
Let the interest rate = x
Principal × interest rate = Interest amount
$50000 × r = $5500
r = $5500 / $50000
r = 0.11 or 11%
The interest rate is 11%

Answer:
does not necessarily mean either absolute or per capita real economic growth.
Explanation:
Nominal GDP can increase due to high inflation, and that is not real growth since the purchasing power of individuals, businesses and the government doesn't grow. Real GDP growth would mean absolute economic growth.
The GDP per capita measures the GDP divided by the total population of a country, so the nominal GDP or real GDP could grow, but if that growth is less than the population's growth, then the nominal and real GDP per capita will still decrease.
Answer:
A) $0.075 variable and $450 fixed
Explanation:
to calculate Kendra's fixed and variable components using the high-low method we can use two separate formulas:
variable costs = (highest utility cost - lowest utility cost) / (highest output - lowest output) = ($1,200 - $600) / (10,000 - 2,000) = $600 / 8,000 = $0.075 per unit
fixed costs = highest cost - (highest output x variable cost) = $1,200 - (10,000 x $0.075) = $1,200 - $750 = $450
