Answer:

The divided for common stockholders is $152000

Explanation:

The preferred stock is cumulative whch means any arrears in preference dividend will be paid whenever the dividend is declared.

The amount of yearly preference dividends is = 12000 * 100 * 0.07 = 84000

Thus, when 320000 cash dividend is declared, 2 years ( current year and arrear year) preference dividend will be paid first and the remaining will be distributed among common stock holders.

The dividedn for common stockholders is 320000 - (84000 * 2) = $152000

Bess [88]

Answer:

So we can offer for the house $180119.95

Explanation:

Monthly income =$4000

Monthly mortgage payment allowed (P)= 25% of 4000= $1000

Interest rate per month (i)= 0.5%

Number of months in total (n)= 30*12= 360

Maximum loan affordable = P*(1-(1/(1+i)^n))/i

=1000*(1-(1/(1+0.5%)^360))/0.5%

=$166791.61

Closing cost is 4% of loan value = 166791.61*4% =$6671.66

Balance Amount left for down payment = 20000-6671.66

=$13328.34

It means we can pay $6671.66 for closing cost of Loan and $13328.34 for down payment.

Cost of house paid maximum = Down payment + Affordable loan

=13328.34+166791.61

=$180119.95

So we can offer for the house $180119.95

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

9%

Explanation:

WACC is the average cost of capital of the firm based on the weightage of the debt and weightage of the equity multiplied to their respective costs.

According to WACC formula

WACC = ( Cost of common stock x Weightage of common stock ) + ( Cost of preferred stock x Weightage of preferred stock ) + ( Cost of debt ( 1- t) x Weightage of debt )

As WACC is calculated using Market values.

Company Value = 100%

Value of Debt = 28%

Value of Debt = 100% - 28% = 72%

WACC = ( 10.54% x 72% ) + ( 5.27% x 28% )

WACC = 7.59% + 1.48%  = 9.07% = 9% (rounded off)

Maple Farms, Inc. v. City School District of Elmira. Read the summary of the court opinion. Could something like this bankrupt a
tester [92]

The correct answers to these open questions are the following.

Maple Farms, Inc. v. City School District of Elmira.

Could something like this bankrupt a company?

Yes, it can, if the proper forecast were not done taking into consideration all of the possible variables at medium and long-range.

Do you agree with the decision?

It was a tough decision because the court declared in its decision that the performance was not impracticable, as Maple Farm Inc indicated when decided to break the contract.

In strict theory, I agree with the court's decision because the explanation was that an "impractical" occurred when an event happened totally unexpected. And in this case, Mapple Farm Inc could have taken extra provisions knowing that milk had a 10% increase the last year and had the chance of more increases in the present year.

That is how a company can avoid this type of situation. Taking better provisions, contemplating all kinds of variables, knowing that in the future, something unexpected can happen and could be prevented with the proper forecast.
