Answer:
The dividends payout to preferred stockholders is $113,400 as shown below.
Explanation:
The total dividends payable to holders of preferred shares can be computed thus:
Preferred shares dividends=9000*$90*14%
Preferred shares dividends =$113,400
Preferred shareholders have prior claims to dividends ahead of ordinary shareholders,but after bondholders' interest payments have been settled.
The same way they also have precedence in the distribution of company's assets before ordinary shareholders upon the liquidation of the company.
The downside is that they cannot share in excess profits after payment of dividends as they are part-owners of the company unlike ordinary shareholders.
Answer:
Break-even quantity= 9520 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The projections include a sales price of $39.
Variable costs per unit of $14.
Fixed costs of $238,000.
The operating cash flow is $24,300.
Break-even quantity= Fixed costs/contribution margin
Break-even quantity= 238000/(39-14)= 9520 units
Answer:
a) 3X + 2Y = 36
b) X = 6 , Y = 9
c) 27
Explanation:
Individual consumes : X and Y
Spends : $36 per time period
unit cost : $3 per unit for X
$2 per unit for Y
utility function : U( X, Y ) = .5XY
<u>A) Budget equation mathematically</u>
X* Px + Y* Py = M
3X + 2Y = 36
Px and Py = unit cost for X and Y
M = Total spent ( revenue )
<u>b) Values of X and Y that will maximize utility </u>
Maximum utility ( MRS ) = Px / Py ,
MRS = MUx / MUy
= Y/X = 3/2
∴ 2Y = 3X
From BC : 6X = 36 ( X = 6 plug into mathematically equation above )
∴ X = 6 , hence Y = 9
<u>c) Total utility generated per unit of time </u>
U( X,Y ) = .5XY
= 0.5 * 6 * 9 = 27
Answer: where management expects the firm to operate.
Explanation:
Company planning is the duty of management and and they plan, they try to use a certain range of activity so that they can better predict how the company will go. That range is therefore the range that the management of the company expects the firm to operate.
When production actually starts, management will try to either keep to that range or exceed it so as to meet or exceed expectations. And even if they don't meet this expectation, they use this relevant range to compare to the actual range for performance evaluation.
