Answer:

Dividend to preferred shareholders= $5250

Explanation:

Non-cumulative preferred shareholders are those shareholders who are paid a fixed return on par value of their shareholding (i.e number of shares) which take priority over ordinary shares but holders of preferred shares don't have voting rights and therefore can't participate in the business affairs the way ordinary shareholders can.

The non-cumulative aspect of preferred shares means that if Sheridan corporation fails to pay preferred shareholders dividend in a year due to whatsoever reason, Sheridan won't be liable to pay them the previous years' dividend, they only get the current years' dividend.

First we compute total par value of preferred shares and apply the percentage of return to shareholders. The amount of dividend to be distributed to preferred shareholders is calculated as follows;

Dividend to preferred shareholders= (10500* $10) * 5%

Dividend to preferred shareholders= $5250

Degger [83]
Successful business people never take their eye off the one thing that made them successful in the first place: the primary function of any business is making money. You can't make money without customers or clients (unless you're in the business of robbing banks or bribing politicians).

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

performance of a contract

Explanation:

When you enter a contract you can perform your part of the contract, not perform your part of the contract or partially perform your part of the contract. In legal terms, there is no such thing as over performance.

in this case, Zack performed his part of the contract. Him making a slightly higher deposit or getting the inspection done before the due date, will not alter the total consideration of the contract, e.g. selling price will remain unchanged and the house will be the same one.

7. DuPont Identity. X Corp. has net income of $20 million, Sales of $100 million, asset turnover of .6, and debt-equity ratio of
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Net Income = 20m

Sales = 100m

Debt-equity ration = 40%

Asset turnover = 0.60

A)

Profit Margin = Net Income / Sales  = $20 million / $100 million  = 20%

Equity Multiplier = 1 + Debt-Equity Ratio  = 1 + 0.40  = 1.40

Return on Equity = Profit Margin * Asset Turnover * Equity Multiplier               = 20% * 0.60 * 1.40  = 16.80%

B)

Debt-equity ratio = 60%

Equity Multiplier = 1 + Debt-Equity Ratio  = 1 + 0.60  = 1.60

Return on Equity = Profit Margin * Asset Turnover * Equity Multiplier  = 20% * 0.60 * 1.60 = 19.20%

As calculations provide, if debt-equity ratio increases to 60%, Return on equity will increase by 2.40% (19.20% - 16.80%)
