Company HD pays more in taxes.

Answer: Option C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The debt-to-capital ratio is calculated by taking the company's interest-bearing debt, both short- and long-term liabilities and dividing it by the total capital. Total capital is all interest-bearing debt plus shareholders' equity, which may include items such as common stock, preferred stock, and minority interest.

Since the debt to capital ratio of this firm is higher than the other firm, then the firm will have to pay a higher tax compared to the other firm which is given in the question.

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

2018

Preferred Dividend = $54,000

Common Stockholders = $9,000

2019

Preferred Dividend arrears =$54,000

Common Stockholders = $0

2020

Preferred Dividend = $54,000

Common Stockholders = $270,000

Explanation:

Preferred stockholders has an advantage that they are paid first when there is any dividend is announced. The residual dividend will be divided into the common stockholders. Any prior years due dividend and current years dividend associated with preferred share will be paid first.

Preferred shares = 18,000 x $50 = $900,000

Preferred Dividend = $900,000 x 6% = $54,000

2018

Dividend Declared = $63,000

Dividend Allocated to Common Stockholders = Dividend Declared - Preferred Dividend = $63,000 - $54,000 = $9,000

2019

Dividend Declared = $0

Preferred Dividend Arrears = $54,000

2020

Dividend Declared = $378,000

Preferred Dividend Arrears = $54,000

Dividend Allocated to Common Stockholders = Dividend Declared - Preferred Dividend - Preferred Dividend Arrears = $378,000 - $54,000 - $54,000 = $270,000

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

Negative cash balance of $210,000.

Explanation:

Given that,

cost of equipment = $200,000

Inventory purchased = $12,500

Cash balance = $2,000

Accounts payable = $4,500

Net cash flow at time zero:

= (cost of equipment) + (Increase in working capital)

= ($200,000) + (Inventory purchased + cash balance - Accounts payable)

= ($200,000) + ($12,500 + $2,000 - $4,500)

= ($200,000) + ($10,000)

= ($210,000)

Note: Negative values are in the parenthesis.
