Since the preferred stocks are cumulative in nature, the dividend amount not paid in the current year will be accumulated and paid in the next year.
Preferred dividend to be paid in 2017 = Value of preferred stock x Dividend rate
= (4700 x $50) x 5%
= 11750
Dividend to be paid in 2018 = same as 2017 as no new preferred stock issued
= 11750
Total dividend to be paid in 2018 = Dividend to be paid in 2018 + Dividend to be paid in 2017 – Dividend paid in 2017
= 11750 +11750 -7900
= $15600
Answer:
Option (c) is correct.
Explanation:
Variable cost as a percent of sales:
= (Variable expenses ÷ Sales) × 100
= ($3,000,000 ÷ $5,000,000) × 100
= 60%
If Sales = X
then Variable cost is 0.6X (i.e. 60% of Sales)
Sales - Variable cost - fixed expenses = net operating income
X - 0.6X - 1,500,000 = 300,000
0.4X = 300000 + 1500000 = 1800000
X = 1800000 ÷ 0.4
= 4,500,000
Answer:
The correct answers are the following:
a - 4 Sunk
b - 5 Opportunity
c - 3 Fixed
d - 2 Variable
e - 6 Incremental
f - 1 Recurring
g - 7 Direct
h - 8 Non-recurring
Explanation:
a) <em>Sunk costs</em> are those that have already occurred in the past and they can not be recovered again so therefore that they are not relevant at the time of taking decisions regarding the futue.
b) <em>Opportunity costs</em> are those that try to measure and show the sacrifice done at the time of making a decision when that sacrifice represents the best second option that the person could have done.
c) <em>Fixed costs</em> are those that are always the same amount and do not change with the activity level of the production of the company.
d) <em>Variable costs</em> are those that do change with the amount of activity level that the company has during the production process.
e)<em> Incremental costs</em> are those that increase the cost level of the production while the output level increases as well, so they are a concept on the margin.
f) <em>Recurring costs</em> are those that tend to repete continously in the production process so the company already know how much the amount of the cost is.
g) <em>Direct costs</em> are those that the company associates with the production process regarding the commodities and all the primary sources that are needed to produce the good and therefore that they impact directly in the production and in the cost of the final product.
h) <em>Non-recurring</em> costs are those that the company are not familiar with due to the fact that they do not repete often and therefore tend to happen once in a while.
Answer:
The correct answer is option A.
Explanation:
High inflation will cause an adverse effect on the exchange rate. However, the low inflation rate does not have a positive effect on the value of currency and exchange.
Inflation rate affects the rate of interest which has an effect on the exchange rate. The relationship between the interest rate and inflation is complex and difficult to manage.
Lower interest rates are likely to lower the cost of borrowing. As a result, there is an increase in investment and production. This increases aggregate demand and thus price level.
But lower interest discourages foreign investment, the demand for domestic currency falls.This shift the currency demand curve to left decreasing the interest rate.
Answer:
Answer for the question:
There are ten polluting firms, Firm1,. . . ,Firm10. Each firm emits 100 pounds of pollution prior to any regulations (so there are currently 1,000 pounds being emitted). Each firm has constant marginal abatement costs, but the costs vary across firms. Conveniently, the firms’ names indicate their marginal abatement costs. Firm1’s marginal abatement costs are constant at $1 per pound, Firm2’s marginal abatement costs are constant at $2 per pound,. . . , and Firm10’s marginal abatement costs are $10 per pound.
a. Suppose the regulator wants to achieve a 25% reduction in pollution (250 pounds). What is the cost effective allocation of emis- sions across the ten firms?
b. What are the total abatement costs for society to achieve a 250 pound reduction in emissions?
c. The marginal damage of pollution in this city is given by MD= 4-1/250 X, where X is the total reduction in pollution. What is the optimal level of pollution?
is given in the attachment.
