Colliers, Inc., has 100,000 shares of cumulative preferred stock outstanding. The preferred stock pays dividends in the amount o

rodikova [14]

Answer:

Preference dividend = $2 x 100,000 shares x 2 years

Preference dividend = $400,000

The dividend paid to common stockholders = $600,000 - $400,000

= $200,000

Explanation:

Dividends paid on preference shares are cumulative in nature because preference shares are fixed income securities. The dividends not paid last year would be paid this year. This is the rationale behind the multiplication of preference dividend by 2 years.

The dividend paid to common stockholders is the difference between the total dividend and dividend paid to preferred stockholders.

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Part A:

Labur Productivity:

For US=5.14, LDC=1.35

Capital Productivity:

For US=1.72 LDC=4.31

Part B:(Multi factor productivity)

For US=1.29 LDC=1.03

Part C: (Raw material productivity)

For US=4.90 LDC=10.02

Explanation:

Part A:

Labur Productivity:

For US:

$Partial Labor Productivity=\frac{Sale(units)}{Labour(hours} \\Partial Labor Productivity=\frac{100505}{19550} \\Partial Labor Productivity=5.14$

For LDC:

$Partial Labor Productivity=\frac{Sale(units)}{Labour(hours} \\Partial Labor Productivity=\frac{19600}{14550} \\Partial Labor Productivity=1.35$

Capital Productivity:

For US:

$Capital Productivity=\frac{Sale(units)}{Capital Equipment} \\Capital Productivity=\frac{100505}{58600}\\Capital Productivity=1.72$

For LDC:

$Capital Productivity=\frac{Sale(units)}{Capital Equipment} \\Capital Productivity=\frac{19600}{4550}\\Capital Productivity=4.31$

Part B:

For US:

$Multifactor Productivity=\frac{Sales(units)}{labour(Hours) + Capital Equipment(hours)}\\ Multifactor Productivity=\frac{100505}{19550+58600} \\Multifactor Productivity=1.29$

For LDC:

$Multifactor Productivity=\frac{Sales(units)}{labour(Hours) + Capital Equipment(hours)}\\ Multifactor Productivity=\frac{19600}{14550+4550} \\Multifactor Productivity=1.03$

Part C:

For US:

$Raw material productivity=\frac{Sales(Hour)}{Raw Material} \\ Raw material productivity=\frac{100505}{20500} \\ Raw material productivity=4.90$

ForLDC:

Converting Raw material FC into $ (1$=10FC)

Raw Material =19550/10=$1955

$Raw material productivity=\frac{Sales(Hour)}{Raw Material} \\ Raw material productivity=\frac{19600}{1955} \\ Raw material productivity=10.02$

Aquilera, Inc., has sales of $19.6 million, total assets of $14.6 million, and total debt of $5.4 million. The profit margin is

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

a. $1,764,000.00

b. 12.08%

c. 19.17%

Explanation:

a. What is the company's net income?

Profit margin = Net income ÷ Sales

Therefore, we have:

9% = Net income ÷ $19,600,000

Net income = $19,600,000 × 9% = $1,764,000.00

Therefore, the net income of Aquilera, Inc. is $1,764,000.00

b. What is the company's Return on Assets (ROA)?

ROA = Net income ÷ Total Assets

ROA = $1,764,000 ÷ $14,600,000 = 0.120821917808219 = 12.08%

Therefore, the ROA of Aquilera, Inc. is 12.08%

c. What is the company's Return on Equity (ROE)?

Total Assets = Total Debt + Total Equity

Therefore,

Total Equity = Total Assets - Total Debt

Total Equity = $14,600,000 - $5,400,000 = $9,200,000

ROE = Net income ÷ Total Equity

ROE = $1,764,000 ÷ $9,200,000 = 0.191739130434783 = 19.17%

Therefore, the ROE of Aquilera, Inc. is 19.17%

VikaD [51]

Answer:

$281,612

Explanation:

Plane Operating Cost = Fixed cost + (Variable cost per unit1 × q1) + (Variable cost per unit 2 × q2)

Plane Operating Cost = $40,190 + ($2709*88) + ($10 * 303)

Plane Operating Cost = $40,190 + $238,392 + $3,030

Plane Operating Cost = $281,612

So, the plane operating costs in the planning budget for August would be $281,612
