Answer: a. Allow management to conserve cash, give stockholders more shares, and cause no change in total assets, liabilities, or stockholders' equity.
Explanation:
Stock Splits increase the number of shares a company without actually changing their market capitalization by simply dividing the shares available.
There are a bunch of reasons to do this but one of them is to conserve cash. By splitting stock, managers can conserve cash by not paying dividends but still proving that the company can still pay dividends. The Shareholders getting MORE stock would be the reward.
Since Stock splits don't change the Market Capitalization, they don't have an effect on Equity either and by extension Assets and Liabilities.
Answer:
a. an invitation to submit offers, not an offer itself.
Explanation:
When a property is to be sold at an auction it involves an invitation for interested buyers to submit offers to the seller. The seller will now consider the offers and see the best one for him.
There is usually no price stated for the auction and seller goes for the highest bid.
If however if the seller says that there is no reserve price or that the reserve price was met, it can now be considered an offer in itself.
In this case Owen is offering the property at a live auction and does not state requirements for a reserve price
Answer: Stock B
Explanation:
Use CAPM to calculate the required returns of both stocks.
Stock A
Required return = Risk free rate + beta * ( Market return - risk free rate)
= 5% + 1.20 * (9% - 5%)
= 9.8%
Stock B
Required return = 5% + 1.8 * (9% - 5%)
= 12.2%
Both of them have Expected returns that are higher than their Required returns so both of them are good buys.
The better buy would be the one that has more expected value excess over required return.
Stock A excess = 10% - 9.8% = 0.2%
Stock B excess = 14% - 12.2% = 1.8%
<em>Stock B offers a higher excess and is the better buy. </em>
Answer:
$52,267
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the break-even level of earnings before interest and taxes between these two options
EBIT/40,000 = [EBIT- ($280,000 ×0.07)]/25,000
EBIT/40,000 = [EBIT - ($19,600)]/25,000
Cross multiply
25,000EBIT=40,000(EBIT-19,600)
25,000EBIT=40,000EBIT-784,000,000
EBIT = $52,267
Therefore the break-even level of earnings before interest and taxes between these two options is $52,267
