<h3>Hello there!</h3>
Your question asks which distribution system shipped more than 90% of the U.S coal.
<h3>Answer: D). Railroads</h3>
The reason why answer choice "D). Railroads" is the correct answer is because this was the distribution method that was used when shipping coal around the U.S.
Railroads were a very reliable source of distribution/transportation/and etc. in the United States. Railroads were especially impactful when it came to distributing things around the country. Railroads were quick, could hold a lot of things, and get their safely. That's why businesses who sold coal used railroads since they could get a lot across the country quickly and safely.
Trains on the railroads could hold a lot of things, and businesses sold coal in huge volumes, in which they needed something to transport the huge volume of coal, and that's where the rail roads came in handy. If they didn't use railroads, then there would be a lack of sales since they can't get their products across the country in a timely manner.

Answer:
The choices that apply as common-size income statements are options
A. Operating expenses have decreased as a percentage of sales; this appears favorable unless this decline has contributed toward the fall in sales
B. The level of interest as a percentage of sales has increased significantly; this suggests that the firm has too much debt.
C. Sales have declined and cost of goods sold has increased as a percentage of sales, probably due to a loss of productive efficiency.
Explanation:
A) when operating expenses are minimized, profit is maximized but if there is decrease in sales as a result of reduction in operating expenses, loss is inevitable.
B) When a business is funded with a loan facility, there is a projection on the sales or sales forecast that will generate funds for loan repayment and still make the business profitable. If that sales level is not met the debt level will increase.
C) When sales decline in the face of constant operating expenses, costs of goods sold will increase, this is productive inefficiency and a business can not be sustained if this situation persists.
Answer:
Interest payment = Interest rate per period × par value
5.5 percent coupon corporate bond (paid semi-annually)
Interest payment = 1/2 × 0.055 × 1000 = $27.5
6.45 percent coupon Treasury note (Treasury makes semi-annual coupons)
Interest payment = 1/2 × 0.0645 × 1000 = $32.25
Zero coupon bond:
Interest = 0 × 1000 = $0
First take away the decimals and multiply 169 x 63 = 10647
then you place the decimal on the 4th digit from the right since there's 3 places on .169 and 1 on 6.3 thus 1.0647
Answer:
Option (a) $114,000
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Dividend declared = $240,000
Shares outstanding = 9,000
Interest = 7%
Now,
Value of share = $100 × 9,000
= $900,000
Dividend to Preference Stock Holders Arrears = 7% of Value of share
= 0.07 × $900,000
= $63,000
Dividend to Preference Stock Holders = $63,000
Therefore,
Dividend to Common Stock Holders
= $240,000 - $63,000 - $63,000
= $144,000
Option (a) $114,000
