$102 million and 6.25%

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. For net income

As we know that

Net income = (Earning before interest and taxes - interest) × (1 - tax rate)

where,

EBIT is calculated after finding out the sales, operating cost which is given below:

Sales = $700 million  × 1.20  = $840 million

And, the operating costs = 75% × $840 million = $630 million

So, the EBIT is

= $840 million - $630 million

= $210 million

Now the net income is

= ($210 million - $40 million) × (1 - 40%)

= $102 million

2.  Now expected growth rate in net income is

= (Latest year Net income ÷ previous year net income) - 1

= ($102 million ÷ $96 million) -1

= 6.25%

Since dividend payout ratio is same so the growth rate in dividend should be equal to the growth rate in net income i.e 6.25%

the correct answer is b.)

-the personal ownership of property

-the influence of consumer demand

explanation:

the command economy prohibits the personal ownership of property.

basically, command economy is defined as the system where a nation’s government is the one that makes all the decisions when it comes to its economy. the government is the one who controls the production of goods and services and regulates the prices and salaries.

therefore, since that the government is the authority, then all kinds of personal ownership of property is prohibited by them.
