Answer:

$50,000

Explanation:

Generally, preferred stockholders receive dividends earlier than common stockholders. Moreover, as the preference shareholders are cumulative, if they do not receive dividends current year, they will receive in the next year. Finally, preferred dividend is fixed until there are new issuance of preferred stock.

Preferred dividends for Year 1 = 1,000 shares × $200 × 10% = $20,000

For year 2 = $20,000

Given, total dividends in year 1 = $15,000

Therefore, company provides $15,000 to preferred dividends. No common dividends in year 1.

However, in the next year (Year 2), the company will pay $5,000 + $20,000 = $25,000 to preferences shareholders.

Therefore, remaining dividends are for common stockholders.

Year 2 common stockholders dividends = $75,000 - $25,000 = $50,000.

What are some drawbacks and risks to a broad generic strategy? To a focused strategy?
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

Explanation:

Porter's generic strategies determine how the company will gain competitive advantage within the selected market. Lower cost, differentiated or focus strategies could be included. The company chooses one of the two types of competitive advantages either by lower costs than competition or by differentiating between customers' value to achieve higher prices. A company also chooses two types of products that offer its products to selected market segments or industry levels and offer products in many market segments. The generic strategy reflects the choices made by both the type and the degree of competitive advantage.

1)Cost Leadership Strategy: This generic strategy requires you to be the cheapest producer in an industry for a certain level of quality. The firm sells its products at a price higher than its competitors or below average industry prices to gain market share. In the case of price war, the firm may gain some profit while suffering from competition. Even if there is no price war, firms that can produce cheaper in the time of industry growth and falling prices will remain profitable for longer. Cost leadership strategies generally target the wider market. Each common strategy has risks, including low cost strategies. For example, other firms may also reduce costs. As technology develops, competition can increase production power and thus eliminate competitive advantage. In addition, many companies that implement a focus strategy and target different narrow markets may earn less in their segments and gain significant market share as a group.

2)The differentiation strategy requires the development of a unique product or service for its customers and offers unique features that recognize whether customers are better or different than their competitors. The added value of the product with the uniqueness of the product may allow the company to earn a premium for the product.  The risks associated with differentiation strategies include imitating competitors and changing customer tastes. In addition, different firms that implement focus strategies can achieve greater diversity in market segments.

3) Focus strategies are focused on a narrow segment and seeks to achieve cost advantage or differentiation in that segment. The main pillar is better service, focusing on the needs of the group. Using a focus strategy, the firm often has high customer loyalty, which prevents other firms from competing directly. There are some risks, such as imitating focus strategies and making changes to your target segments. In addition, it can be quite easy for a broad market value leader to adapt products directly to the competition. Finally, other focus areas can create sub-segments where they can better serve.

Bob consumes food and housing. Suppose his marginal utility from an additional unit of food is 20 and his marginal utility from
lozanna [386]

Answer:

Option (E) is correct.

Explanation:

For utility maximization,

Bob's consumption of Housing and food should be such that:

\frac{Marginal\ utility\ of\ housing}{Price\ of\ housing}=\frac{Marginal\ utility\ of\ food}{Price\ of\ food}

Here,

\frac{Marginal\ utility\ of\ housing}{Price\ of\ housing}=\frac{100}{2}

                                                                                              = 50

\frac{Marginal\ utility\ of\ food}{Price\ of\ food}=\frac{20}{1}

                                                                                   =20

Bob is not maximizing utility, as these two terms are not equal(50 > 20).

Since the marginal utility per rupee spent on housing is greater than that on food.

Hence, Bob can increase his utility just by consuming more of housing and less of food.

A company received an order from a customer in June
asambeis [7]

Answer:

b. July

Explanation:

According to the revenue recognition principle, the revenue has to be recognised in the period the services are provided.

In the question, the services were provided in July, so the revenue needs to be recognised in July,

The fact that the order was received in June or that the payment from the customer was received in August is not relevant for purposes of revenue recognition.

  • <em>There must be a standby emergency medical unit just in case of  sudden injuries, mechanical/technical error, and other health emergencies that may be life threatening. </em>
  • <em>There has to be a team carefully looking out for the guests.</em>
  • <em>Ensure that restricted areas. signs are clearly shown and also put a staff in those sections to curtail any truant behavior by guests.</em>
