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.

The computation of the unused resource capacity in energy and repairs for Tri-State Mill. is shown below;
For energy
= $6,900 - 6,000 × $0.90
= $6,900 - $5,400
= $1,500
For repairs
= $12,000 - 600 × $16
= $12,000 - $9,600
= $2,400
Hence, the unused resource capacity in energy and repairs for Tri-State Mill. is $1,500 and $2,400 respectively

Calculation for the amount of the common fixed expense not traceable to the individual divisions
First step is to calculate Total segment margin
Total segment margin = $43,600 + $174,300
