In business in order to increase growth within a company, having debt is a necessity. On September 22, 2010, Microsoft raised its quarterly dividends by 23 percent to 16 cents per share, which is the first increased in two years. Microsoft is one of the cash-richest companies in the world. The company has approximately $37 billion cash and cash equivalent on the balance sheet. There has been speculation that Microsoft is being pressured to spend more cash.
Microsoft, the world largest software company, is always driving the latest and greatest technology. The company has a budget of $7 billion in research and development. Microsoft also has had intense cash flow within the last four quarters; the company’s net income cash flow increased by $15 billion. Microsoft is a company that always seems to produce. Just like every other American, I cannot wait for Microsoft's next great innovation.
