Answer: $107,900
Explanation:
Cumulative Preferred Shares refer to shares that a company has to pay dividends eventually. This means that if they are unable to pay for some years, they are to accrue that payment until they are able to.
There are 119000 shares of no-par 6% preferred stock with a stated value of $5.
That means preferred shares are liable to the following amount of dividends,
= 119,000 * 5 * 6%
= $35,700
Preferred Shares have not being paid for the past 2 years and need to be paid in the current year as well. That means 3 payments,
= 35,700 * 3
= $107,100
Preferred Shares are to be paid $107,100 out of the $215,000 with the rest going to common shares.
Amount going to Common Shares is,
= 215,000 - 107,100
= $107,900
Common Stockholders are to receive $107,900
Answer:
Demand Increase = Supply Increase : No change in price, quantity increases
Demand Increase > Supply Increase: Price increase, quantity increase
Demand Increase < Supply Increase : Price decrease, quantity increase
Explanation:
Markets are at equilibrium where market demand = market supply. And, upward sloping supply curve intersects with downward sloping demand curve.
If both demand & supply of dog treats increase, the effect on change in price & quantity will depend on their relative magnitude
- If increase in demand = Increase in Supply : Both the curves shift equivalently rightwards. At new equilibrium - there is no change in price, as demand increase is fulfilled by supply increase. The equilibrium quantity increases
- If increase in demand > Increase in Supply : Demand curve shifts more rightwards than supply curve. This creates excess demand & competition among buyers increase the new equilibrium price. The equilibrium quantity also increases.
- If increase in demand < Increase in Supply : Supply curve shifts more rightwards than demand curve. This creates excess supply & competition among sellers reduce the new equilibrium price. The new equilibrium quantity increases.
Answer:
EPS will be higher than $2.38
Explanation:
The earnings per share are the income that is accessible to the company's shareholders after all the costs and taxes are deducted. Restructuring costs are one-time costs that are recorded in the income statement as other operating expenses.
The presence of restructuring and other one-time costs in the Revenue Statement leads to lower pre-tax earnings and cause decrease in net profit. When these expenses are excluded, the Earning would increase, resulting in the company's EPS.
Answer:
Option (b) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
Budgeted sales in September = $260,000
Budgeted sales in October = $375,000
Budgeted sales in November = $400,000
Percent of merchandise sells for cash = 30%
Percent of merchandise sells on account = 70%
Out of the credit sales,
80% are expected to be collected in the month of the sale.
20% in the month following the sale.
Therefore, the cash collections in September from accounts receivable will include only 80% of the credit sales in September as Nuthatch corporations starts its operation on September 1, hence there will be no sales in August.
Cash Collections From Accounts Receivables;
= 80% of the credit sales in September
= 0.8 × (70% × $260,000)
= 0.8 × $182,000
= $145,600
Answer: B. It may help a firm achieve experience curve and location economies
Explanation: Exporting is defined as the act of conveying or sending commodities abroad or to another country, in the course of commerce. Exporting provides a distinct advantage to firms in that it helps them achieve experience curve (which posits that the more experience a business has in the production of product, the lower its costs in producing the product) and location economies (the production of a good or product under the most optimum settings that confers an added advantage in cost of productions over their competitors).
