    Mattel sued the band, saying they violated the Barbie trademark and turned Barbie into a sex object, referring to her as a "Blonde Bimbo."[1] They alleged the song had violated their copyrights and trademarks of Barbie, and that its lyrics had tarnished the reputation of their trademark and impinged on their marketing plan. Mattel also claimed that the cover packaging of the single used "Barbie pink", a trademarked color owned by Mattel.[2] Aqua claimed that Mattel injected their own meanings into the song's lyrics and MCA Records was not about to let their hit single be suppressed without a fight. They contested Mattel's claims and countersued for defamation after Mattel had likened MCA to a bank robber.[3]…

    15.4 Dividend Irrelevance Theory: Miller and Modigliani Model 15.5 Stability of Dividends 15.6 Forms of Dividends 15.7 Stock Split 15.8 Summary Terminal Questions Answers to SAQs and TQs 15.1 Introduction Dividends are that portion of a firm’s net earnings paid to the shareholders. Preference shareholders are entitled to a fixed rate of dividend irrespective of the firm’s earnings. Equity holders’ dividends fluctuate year after year. It depends on what portion of earnings is to be retained by the firm and what portion is to be paid off. As dividends are distributed out of net profits, the firm’s decisions on retained earnings have a bearing on the amount to be distributed. Retained earnings constitute an important source of financing investment requirements of a firm. However, such opportunities should have enough growth potential and sufficient profitability. There is an inverse relationship between these two – larger retentions, lesser dividends and vice versa. Thus two constituents of net profits are always competitive and conflicting. Dividend policy has a direct influence on the two components of shareholders’ return – dividends and capital gains. A low payout and high retention may have the effect of accelerating earnings growth. Investors of growth companies realize their money in the form of capital gains. Dividend yield will be low for such companies. The influence of dividend policy on future capital gains is to happen in…

    Only in Miami can you see a Cuban family-run restaurant serving Italian pizza while playing a style of music that originated in Africa. Every day we experience the foods, music, and traditions of many different cultures. Almost no family shares the same cultural blend as another. My family is no exception to this trend. My mom was born and raised in Florida however; her father has descendants from England. My paternal grandmother’s family came from France, but the war kept sending them back and forth between Spain and France. My grandmother is the only one of her siblings born in Spain. I also have German and Venezuelan roots. I think of it all as the ingredients in the dish Chicken Chop; the most prominent ingredients in this “Cultural Dish” are the English and Hispanic cultures. These are the elements, sprinkled with some cosmopolitan influential flare, that have influenced my personal culture over the years.…
