Answer:

The correct answer is: Free Rider.

Explanation:

In economics, the Free Rider dilemma relates to someone being able to get what others pay for less or even for free. The problem comes when people do not want to pay their fair share for something other people pay for. That is more prevalent when it comes to public goods.

Answer:

free rider

Explanation:

In economics, a free rider is someone that benefits from using some service or good but is not doing anything to pay for his/her consumption of the service or good, i.e. they are using something for free and they do not wish to change that situation.

Free riders are much more common than what many believe, for example, people living in the suburbs that go into a city and use their public services, e.g. transportation, roads, police officers, parks, etc.

Assuming that the company has retained earnings of "$86,000", all of which is to be paid out in dividends, and that preferred di
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

a. preferred stock=$32000  ,  ordinary stock=$54000

b. preferred stock=$16000  ,   ordinary stock=$70000

Explanation:

Lets assume the company has two class of preferred stock, cumulative and non-cumulative. Cumulative preferred stock are shares whose fixed return (i.e fixed dividend) if not paid in one accounting period accumulates with forthcoming years' return and is paid in accumulation whereas non-cumulative preferred stock holders won't be paid for dividends not paid in a year.

Lets assume, Company has 2000 $100 par value 8% preferred stock and 5100 $50 par value ordinary shares.

1st case: CPS (Cumulative preferred stock) and OS (Ordinary stock.)

$86000 of retained earnings will be distributed as follows:

Preferred Stock dividend each year: 2000×$100×0.08

PS dividend=$16000 per year

Now accumulate for 2 years,

CPS dividend = $16000×2

<em>CPS dividend = $32000</em>

After preferred stock holders are paid, the remaining retained earnings are wholly distributed to ordinary stock holders.

Ordinary stock dividend = $86000 - $32000

<em>Ordinary stock dividend = $54000.</em>

2nd case: NCPS (Non-cumulative preferred stock) and OS (Ordinary stock).

$86000 of retained earnings will be distributed as follows:

NCPS dividend for the current year only = 2000×$100×0.08

<em>NCPS dividend for the current year only = $16000</em>

Now, the remaining is distributed to ordinary stock holders as follows:

Ordinary stock dividend = $86000 - $16000

<em>Ordinary stock dividend = $70000 </em>

A dressmaker can sew 400 garments with 100 bolts of fabric and 1,500 hours of labor. Another dressmaker can sew 400 garments wit
faust18 [17]

Answer:

No, because the second method has lower total costs of production.

Explanation:

In a bid to make profits businesses must always compare different processes and choose the cheapest one.

This will eventually reflect in the profitability of the business.

In this instance let's get the cost of each process.

Fabric costs $110 a bolt and labor costs $20 an hour.

The first dress maker can sew 400 garments with 100 bolts of fabric and 1,500 hours of labour

Total cost = (100 bolts * 110) + (1500 * 20)

Total cost = $41,000

For the second dress maker he can sew 400 garments with 150 bolts of fabric and 1,000 hours of identical labour

Total cost = (150 *110) + (1000 * 20)

Total cost = $36,500

As can be seen the second dressmaker has a lower cost of production so he is more efficient than the first dress maker
