The total dividend to be declared in 2016 = Preference dividend outstanding + common stock holder dividend.
Burkert company has not declared any preference dividend in 2014 and 2015. The preference dividends are cumulative and the company has to pay prior years dividends also. The annual preference dividend amounts $16,000 (4,000 shares * $100 par value * 4% preferred stock)
The cumulative preference dividend for 3 years 2014, 2015 and 2016 will be $16,000 * 3 years = $48,000

Answer:
1) if the FED decides to strengthen then dollar, it will make US exports more expensive and imports cheaper. That will cause net exports to decrease, i.e. there will be less exports and more imports.
A strengthening of the US dollar helps importing companies because they will buy cheaper goods from abroad and will be able to sell them at higher domestic prices. On the other hand, exporting companies will be hit because hey loss competitiveness since their products will be more expensive.
2) If the FED decides to weaken the US dollar, the opposite will happen. Exporting companies will be favored, while importing companies will be hurt. The country will start to export more and import less.
3) Generally, the FED intervenes market through its money supply policy. When the interest rate increases or the money supply increases, the value of the US dollar will tend to lower. Even if expansionary monetary policy doesn't have an immediate impact, the expectations do matter. If people expect a devaluation of the US dollar, they will start to buy foreign currencies, which in turn will end up devaluating the US dollar. It is a self-fulfilled prophecy.
Another way the FED impacts businesses is through the interest rate. Lower interest rates will increase both domestic and foreign investment in the US.

Answer: $57,000
Explanation:
Given that,
Beginning finished goods inventory in units = 0
Units produced = 7,000
Units sold = 5,100
Sales = $663,000
Materials cost = $140,000
Variable conversion cost used = $70,000
Fixed manufacturing cost = $490,000
Indirect operating costs (fixed) = $102,000
Total Variable cost of units produced = Materials cost + Variable conversion cost used
= $140,000 + $70,000
= $210,000
=
= $30
Units in ending inventory = Units produced - Units sold
= 7,000 - 5,100
= 1,900
Value of Variable costing ending inventory = Units in ending inventory × Variable cost per unit
= 1,900 × $30
= $57,000
