Answer:
C) There was no price control on gasoline at the time.
Explanation:
During the 1970s the US government established a price ceiling on gasoline, but as all price ceilings set below the equilibrium price, it results in both a deadweight loss and a supply shortage.
Since the price is "too cheap", then the quantity demanded will be more than the quantity supplied. Rising costs in gasoline production made things worst, since suppliers were constantly reducing their supply of gasoline, while consumer demand was constantly increasing.
Answer:
$6,500 was distributed to preferred shareholders
Explanation:
Dividend distributed to preferred share is based on the predetermined rate associated with these share. When the dividend is declared preferred share dividend is paid first. The remainder is distributed between the common stockholders.
Value of Preferred share = 8000 shares x $10 par value = $80,000
Preferred Dividend = $80,000 x 5% = $4,000
Accrued dividend of 2016 = $4,000 - $1500 = $2500
Total Dividend Accrued = $2,500 + $4,000 = $6,500
Answer:

Explanation:
Calculation for cost to retail ratio
COST
Beginning inventory $30,000
Add; Purchases $190,000
Add: Freight in $2,500
Cost $222,500
RETAIL
Beginning inventory $45,000
Add: Purchases $260,000
Add: Net mark ups $8,500
Retail $313,500
Therefore, the cost to retail ratio will be
$222,500 $313,500
Answer:
10.67%
Explanation:
For computing the change in ROE first we have to find out the debt and equity values which are shown below:
The debt value = Total invested capital × debt rate
= $195,000 × 37.5%
= $73,125
And, the equity value = Total assets - debt value
= $195,000 - $73,125
= $121,875
Now we apply the Return on Equity formula which is presented below:
= (Net income ÷ Total equity) × 100
The net income is $20,000 and the equity value would remain the same
So, the ratio would be = ($20,000 ÷ $121,875) × 100 = 16.41%
And if the net income raise to $33,000
Then the new ROE would be = ($33,000 ÷ $121,875) × 100 = 27.07%
So, the change in ROE
= New ROE - Old ROE
= 27.07% - $16.41%
= 10.67%
