Answer: Statement that “There is no need to evaluate mutual fund investments because investment companies hire the best professional managers they can to manage their funds “ is FALSE
A mutual fund is a pool of stocks, bonds or other funds where an investor purchase his shares. He gets one to meet his investment goals so evaluating a mutual fund's performance is needed and must involve thorough research to lessen risk.
Professional fund managers do make mistakes, so it is a must that investors continually evaluate their mutual fund investments.

Explanation:
Since the preferred stock is not cumulative only the current years' dividend is payable on these stocks.
Preferred stock dividend = (5000 * 100) * 0.08 = $40,000
Of the declared dividend of $100,000,
Preferred Dividend = $40,000
Ordinary share dividend = $60,000
If the shares were cumulative, the prior year dividends would also be payable form the declared dividends bringing the total preferred dividend to $80,000.
Hope that helps.
