Answer:
The amount of dividends paid to common stockholders in 2021 $18000.
Explanation:
The cumulative preferred stock is the stock that accumulates dividends when the dividends are partially or not paid at all in a certain year. The dividends must be paid in the future.
The common stock holders are paid after the preferred stockholders are paid.
The preferred stock dividend per year = 400000 * 0.06 = $24000 per year
As the cash dividends paid in 2019 and 2020 are $20000 each,
The dividend outstanding on preferred stocks for 2019 is = 24000 - 20000 = $4000
Similarly, the dividends outstanding on preferred stocks for 2020 is = 24000 - 20000 = $4000
The total dividends outstanding at start of 2021 = 4000 + 4000 = $8000
Preferred dividend for 2021 = 24000
Total dividend on preferred stock = 24000 + 8000 = $32000
The amount of dividends that common stock holders will receive in 2021 = 50000 - 32000 = $18000
Answer:
why wages for females are lower than for males in a particular labor market
Explanation:
Economics is the study of how people decide and how these decisions affect the world around them. Microeconomics focuses on particular markets, individuals and organizations, whereas macroeconomics focuses on the entire economy.
Response is “ why wages for females are lower than for males in a particular labor market” because there the micro-economist would focus on a particular market: the labor market, and tries to understand the wage gap between female and male workers.
The remaining options focus on large scale factors on a “macro” level and thus do not pertain to the study of “micro”economics

Direct labour refers to the salaries and wages of those employees that are directly involved in the production process or in carrying out a particular operation. An example of a direct labour for the production of chocolates is the salary of those workers in the production unit.
