<span>Implicit Cost Explicit Cost
The wholesale cost for the pianos that Darnell pays the manufacturer $452,000
The salary Darnell could earn if he worked as an accountant $48,000
The wages and utility bills that Darnell pays $301,000
The rental income Darnell could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom $38,000
B.
Profit ($)
Accounting Profit 842,000 - 452,000 - 301,000 = 89,000
Economic Profit 842,000 - 452,000 - 301,000 - 48,000 - 38,000 = 3,000
C. Economic Profit as an accountant = 48,000 + 38,000 - 89,000 = -$3,000. Thus, Darnell should stay in the Piano business to maximize the Economic Profit.</span>
Answer:
Total dividend paid = $340,000
Preferred dividend = 7% x $4 x 150,000 x 3 years = $126,000
Dividend paid to common stock holders
= $340,000 - $126,000
= $214,000
The correct answer is C
Explanation:
There is need to calculate the preferred dividend for 3 years, which is a function of dividend rate, current market price, number of preferred stocks outstanding and number of years. The current market price of the preferred stock is used for the computation because the preferred stock has no par value. Then, the amount of dividend paid to common stock holders is the difference between the total dividend paid and preferred dividend.
Multifactor productivity is the ratio of all resources to the goods and services produced. It is also known as total factor productivity and is a measure of economic performance that compares the amount of goods and services produced to the amount of combined inputs used to produce those goods and services. The inputs may include labor, capital, energy, materials, and purchased services.
