From an accounting standpoint, stockholders' investment and revenues increase the assets of the company without adding to the liabilities. Therefore according to the equation (A = L + E), equity must increase.
Similarly, issuing dividends and paying expenses pays cash out of the company, which decreases assets without changing liabilities. Therefore equity must decrease.
Another way to think of it is: what contributes to the company's profit and/or value, and what decreases these things? Well, revenues and people investing in the company are good (and therefore good for stockholders), and giving cash out and paying expenses are costs to the company (and therefore decrease value for stockholders).
Answer:
Conversion cost= $58,300
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct labor $ 29,000
Manufacturing overhead $ 29,300
<u>The conversion costs are the sum of the direct labor and manufacturing overhead:</u>
Conversion cost= direct labor + Manufacturing overhead
Conversion cost= 29,000 + 29,300
Conversion cost= $58,300
Answer:
See below.
Explanation:
Since the preferred stock is not cumulative only the current years' dividend is payable on these stocks.
Preferred stock dividend = (5000 * 100) * 0.08 = $40,000
Of the declared dividend of $100,000,
Preferred Dividend = $40,000
Ordinary share dividend = $60,000
If the shares were cumulative, the prior year dividends would also be payable form the declared dividends bringing the total preferred dividend to $80,000.

If the critical value is the only thing of interest, then this question is quite easy. Referencing a z table, you look up the percentage of interest: in this case, we must be 97.5% certain in order to accept the null hypothesis (significance level =2.5%. The number that corresponds to .9750 on the z table is 1.96. This is our critical value.
When the price floor is set above the equilibrium price, the quantity supplied exceeds the quantity demanded, creating an oversupply or surplus. When government laws regulate prices instead of letting market forces set prices, this is the equilibrium price affect quantity demanded and quantity supplied.
If demand does not change, there is an inverse relationship between supply and price of goods and services. When the supply of goods and services increases at the same demand, prices tend to fall resulting in lower equilibrium prices and higher equilibrium quantities of goods and services.
Setting the price cap below the equilibrium price causes demand to exceed supply, resulting in overdemand or shortage. A floor price prevents the price from falling below a certain level.
