If a “typical” firm reports $20 million of retained earnings on its balance sheet, could its directors declare a$20 million cash dividend without having any qualms about what they were doing? Explain your answer.

You push a disk-shaped platform on its edge $2.0 \mathrm{m}$ from the axle. The platform starts at rest and has a rotational acceleration of $0.30 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$.Determine the distance you must run while pushing the platform to increase its speed at the edge to $7.0 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$.

If a “typical” firm reports $20 million of retained earnings on its balance sheet, can the firm definitely pay a$20 million cash dividend?

What personal traits and technical skills do you need to design an effective store display?

Midwest Packaging's ROE last year was only $3 \%$; but its management has developed a new operating plan that calls for a debt-to-capital ratio of $60 \%$, which will result in annual interest charges of $\$ 300,000$. The firm has no plans to use preferred stock and total assets equal total invested capital. Management projects an EBIT of $\$ 1,000,000$ on sales of $\$ 10,000,000$, and it expects to have a total assets turnover ratio of $2.0$. Under these conditions, the tax rate will be $34 \%$. If the changes are made, what will be the company's return on equity?

The current ratio is equal to a firm’s current assets divided by its current liabilities. Use the information in Figure 8A.2 on page 285 to calculate Twitter’s current ratio on December 31, 2016. Investors generally prefer that a firm’s current ratio be greater than 1.5. What problems might a firm encounter if the value of its current assets is low relative to the value of its current liabilities?

"An increase in the money supply is more likely to cause supply-side inflation than demand-side inflation." Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Explain your answer.

A capacitor is constructed from two copper plates, each measuring $1\text{ mm} \times 2.5\text{ mm}$ and $155\;\mu\text{m}$ thick. The two plates are placed such that they face each other and are separated by a $1\;\mu\text{m}$ gap. Calculate the resulting capacitance if (a) the intervening dielectric has a permittivity of $1.35\epsilon_0$. (b) the intervening dielectric has a permittivity of $3.5\epsilon_0$. (c) the plate separation is increased by $3.5\;\mu\text{m}$ and the gap is filled with air. (d) the plate area is doubled and the $1\;\mu\text{m}$ gap is filled with air.

How are treasury shares held by a subsidiary reported in the consolidated financial statements?
