Answer:

Some rights of common stockholders are given below.

Voting power on major issues.

Ownership in a portion of the company.

The Right to transfer ownership.

Right to receive declared Dividends.

Opportunity to inspect corporate books, minutes file and other records.

The right to sue for wrongful acts.

Right to attend AGM.

Differences between common and preferred stock

Preferred stock have no voting right while common stock holders have voting right.

When interest rates rise, the value of the preferred stock declines, and vice versa.  With common stocks, however, the value of shares is regulated by demand and supply of the market participants.

Common stockholder has right to participate in net asset of company in case of winding up. Preferred stock holder has no such right.

Company profitability have direct effect on wealth of common stockholder but not of preferred stock holder.

If a cost estimate indicates that a residential design is significantly over budget, what changes would you consider to reduce t
kogti [31]
<h3><u>Changes considered to reduce the cost of the project: </u></h3>

Cost Estimates of a Residential Design have the following elements:

1) Quantity Takeoff

2) Labor Hours

3) Labor Rates

4) Material Prices

5) Equipment Costs

6) Subcontractor Quotes

7) Indirect Costs

8) Profit Margin

Quantity Takeoff is the very basic element required in Residential Building. Labor hours and rates depends on the location, work difficulty, market value, and other extrinsic factors. Material prices and Subcontractor Quotes again depends on location, supply and demand. Equipment Costs depends on the location, place of purchase, transportation cost, size of equipment, etc. Indirect costs are overheads for labor and contractors.

As we can check the above elements, we cannot change Quantity takeoff, as no one wants to compromise in the quality. However, we can try to slightly negotiate with Labor rates and Subcontractor Quotes. Again, as mentioned the budget is significantly high, so we need to work on reducing 2 costs, which are Equipment Costs and Material Prices.

<u>CM ratio = Unit contribution margin ÷ Unit selling price </u>

The break-even in monthly dollar sales is closest to $578,100

Explanation:

The formula for the calculation is

variable cost=$55.50 per unit

<u>Dollar sales to break even = Fixed expenses ÷ CM ratio </u>

= $404,670 ÷ 0.70

= $578,100

The break-even in monthly dollar sales is closest to $578,100
