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: PED = -1.665
The price demand elasticity is relatively elastic because PED is greater than 1..(ignore the minus sign)
Explanation:
Using the formula PED = % change in quantity/ % change in price
PED = ((Q1 - Q0)/(Q1 + Q0))/((P1 -P0)/(P1+P0))...EQU 1 where Q1 = 50 is quantity of product at Price P1 =10 and Q0 = 25 is quantity of product at Price P0 = 15 and PED is price of elasticity
Substituting figures into equ1
PED = ((50 - 25)/(50+25)) /((10 -15)/(10+15))
PED = -1.665
