The calculation of the dividends per share on each class of stock for each of the four years for Lightfoot Inc. are:

                                 1st Year       2nd Year       3rd Year      4th Year

Preferred stock          $0.19            $0.32            $0.99          $0.50

Common stock           $0                 $0                $0.79          $2.69

How is dividend per share calculated?

The dividend per share for each class of stock can be computed by dividing the total dividend distributed by the number of shares outstanding.

For cumulative preferred stock, the unpaid dividends in a year are carried forward for distribution when profits are made.  Note also that preferred stock dividends enjoy preferential payment before common stock dividends.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Cumulative preferred stock = 30,000 shares

Par value of preferred stock = $25

Dividend rate = 2%

The total value of preferred stock = $750,000 ($25 x 30,000)

Expected annual dividend for preferred stockholders = $15,000 ($750,000 x 2%)

Common stock = 38,000 shares

Par value of common stock = $75

The total value of ordinary stock = $2,850,000 ($75 x 38,000)

<h3>Dividends distribution:</h3>

                                        1st Year       2nd Year       3rd Year      4th Year

Dividends distributed    $5,700           $9,600       $59,720       $117,220

Preferred stock             $5,700            $9,600      $29,700        $15,000

Preferred stock per share $0.19           $0.32        $0.99             $0.50 ($15,000/30,000)

Common stock                  $0                   $0         $30,020      $102,220

Common stock per share $0                  $0            $0.79           $2.69 ($102,220/38,000)

Thus, the dividends distribution of Lightfoot Inc. shows that the common stockholders started earning dividends after the second year.

finlep [7]

Answer:

3) 2.7

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) can be determined by:

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Since the points are X(1, 2) and Y(6, 7). The distance between the two points is

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}=\sqrt{(6-1)^2+(7-2)^2}=\sqrt{50}

the x value for the  point located 1/3 the distance from X to Y,

x=\frac{x_2-x_1}{3}=\frac{6-1}{3}=1.7

The x value = x_1+1.7 = 1+1.7 = 2.7
