Answer:
Preferred dividend = $8,000
Common stock dividend = $22,000
Explanation:
The computation of dividend is shown below:-
Preferred dividend = Total shares × Total shares of Noncumulative, nonparticipating, preferred stock outstanding
= $100,000 × 0.08
= $8,000
Common stock dividend = Cash dividend - Preferred dividend
= $30,000 - 8,000
= $22,000
Therefore the Preferred dividend is $8,000 and Common stock dividend is $22,000
Answer: C. II and III
Explanation:
There are 5,000,000 shares of PDQ Corporation as of when they declared the rights offering. This means that every share will get a right to buy stock.
However, as only 1,000,000 shares are being offered per the 5,000,000 shares outstanding it means that one stock may be purchased for every 5 rights.
A customer who owns 500 shares will therefore get 500 rights.
However with one stock up for sale per 5 rights they will receive the opportunity to buy;
= 500/5
= 100 shares

Answer:
(2) 4%
Explanation:
The portfolio is considered to be less risky if its volatility is low. The higher standard deviation the more risky is the project. For Duke Energy and Microsoft the investment portfolio required is risk free investment. To calculate the risk free rate we calculate using the formula;
Var Rp = x1 2Var R1 + x2 2Var R2 +2 x1 x2 Corr (R1, R2) SD1 SD2
Var Rp = 0.14 + 0.44 + 2 (1) * (-1) * 6% * 24%
Solving for this we get the risk free investment at 4%.
