The year-end 2018 balance sheet of Brandex Inc. listed common stock and other paid-in capital at $1,400,000 and retained earning

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The firm paid $630000 dividends in 2019

Explanation:

Retained earnings is the amount of net income that is not distributed to stockholders and is ploughed back into the business. It is a capital reserve account and appears in the equity section of the Balance Sheet. To determine the amount of Dividends, we will trace the change in Retained earnings and deduct the increase in retained earnings amount from the Net Income to arrive at dividends for the year.

Increase in Retained earnings = 4000000 - 3700000 = $300000

Thus, out of the Net Income of $930000 earned in 2019, $300000 was transferred to retained earnings. The remaining was paid as dividends.

The dividends in 2019 are = 930000 - 300000 = $630000

Tara wants to put a small portion of every paycheck into a low-risk investment. which would be her best option?

nydimaria [60]

Tara's best option to put a small portion of every paycheck into a low-risk investment is investing in an S&P 500 index fund.

<h3>What is a paycheck?</h3>

A paycheck can be defined as a financial document that is issued by an employer to an employee as payment for the work done over a period of time.

<h3>What is risk tolerance?</h3>

In Insurance, risk tolerance can be defined as the willingness of an individual or organization to take a risk in business transactions and investments, in order to get a potentially positive reward.

Generally, the high risk that is associated with investments such as stocks, high-yield bonds, etc., is often perceived by investors to be worth the higher reward these investment brings.

In this scenario, we can reasonably infer that Tara's best option to put a small portion of every paycheck into a low-risk investment is investing in an S&P 500 index fund.

Blossom Inc. uses the conventional retail method to determine its ending inventory at cost. Assume the beginning inventory at co

horsena [70]

Answer:

$1,012,696

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

At Cost method:

Merchandise available for sale is :

= Beginning inventory + Purchases + Fright-in

= $403,500 + $3,608,000 + $169,500

= $4,181,000

At Retail method:

Merchandise available for sale:

= Beginning inventory + Purchases + Markups

= $604,000 + $5,393,600 + $424,000

= $6,421,600

Now

Ending inventory at retail is

= Retail - Markdowns - Net sales

= $6,421,600 - $0 - $4,866,000

= $1,555,600

Now

Cost to retail ratio is

= $4,181,000÷ ($4,866,000 + $1,555,600)

= 65.10%

And finally the ending inventory at cost is

= $1,555,600 × 65.10%

= $1,012,696

A 14-week construction activity requires a crane that rents for $1,000 per week and a crew of general laborers that costs $5,000

Helen [10]

Answer: C) $2,000 per week.

Explanation:

The slope of the project refers to the additional amount that it would cost to be able to finish the project faster than schedule.

In the question, the construction activity is for 14 weeks at a rate of $5,000 for the laborers per week. If you wanted to reduce this project duration to 10 weeks, you will have to spend an additional $2,000 more per week.

This $2,000 is therefore the slope of the activity.

At its peak at the end of 1999, Microsoft had a market cap of $600B. PC sales were booming and most PCs ran on Microsoft softwar

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer: C. The decline in the P/E ratio more than offset earnings growth and this pushed the market cap down.

Explanation:

Market Cap = P/E ratio * Earnings

Market cap is dependent on both the P/E ratio and Earnings as shown by the formula and as shown on the graph, the P/E ratio kept on decreasing which means that for the Market Cap to decrease, the downward pull of the P/E ratio must have overshadowed the growth in earnings such that the Market Cap went down instead of up.

For instance, if the earnings were $40 billion and the P/E ratio was 15, Market Cap would be $600 billion.

If earnings increased to $45 billion but P/E ratio decreased to 10, Market Cap would become $450 billion.
