Sweet Company’s outstanding stock consists of 1,000 shares of noncumulative 5% preferred stock with a $100 par value and 10,000

avanturin [10]

Answer:

Option (D) is correct.

Explanation:

Preferred dividend per year:

= (Outstanding preferred stock × Par value of preferred stock ) × 5% preferred stock

= (1,000 × $100) × 5%

= ($100,000) × 5%

= $5,000

Any balance left over would be paid to common stockholders.

Year 1:

Paid to preferred stockholders = $2,000

Paid to common stockholders = 0

Year 2:

Paid to preferred stockholders = $5,000

Paid to common stockholders = ($6,000 - $5,000)

= $1,000

Year 3:

Paid to preferred stockholders = $5,000

Paid to common stockholders = ($32,000 - $5,000)

= $27,000

Therefore,

Total amount of dividends paid to preferred Shareholders:

= Year 1 + Year 2 + Year 3

= $2,000 + $5,000 + $5,000

= $12,000

Total amount of dividends paid to common Shareholders:

= Year 1 + Year 2 + Year 3

= $0 + $1,000 + $27,000

= $28,000

Akwamba made this statement ‘organisations cannot be successful if managers fail to pay attention to the forces in the external

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Yes, I agree

Explanation:

As managers in an organization, proper attention must be paid to the forces in the external environment because these forces are dynamic and business cannot exist without them hence must align with these changes inorder to be successful.

Some of theses forces have direct impact with an organization such as customer's reaction to a company's product, how well the company stays ahead of it's competitors , suppliers and creditors. External forces in the environment that have indirect impact to a company are compliance with local laws, socio cultural forces, religion etc.

Practical examples

• Customer's reaction to a product speaks to what measures are taken by a company to improving the quality of products produced and sold. Favourable reaction would make the company succeed while unfavourable reaction could mar the company's performance.

• Level of compliance with local laws is also an important force in the external environment that must be adhered to. If a company must succeed, it must comply with local laws and order, failure to do so could result to fine or expulsion from the community.
