Answer:

The amount of dividend received by common stockholders in 2017 = $7500

Explanation:

The preference shares are cumulative which means the 2015 dividend on cumulative preference shares will be paid in the next year when dividend is declatred.

The total dividend on preference shjares is = 2500 * 100 * 0.05 = $12500

In 2016 dividend of 22500 is declared and paid.

Out of this 22500, 12500 relates to prefernece dividend for 2015.

The remaining 10000 relates to 2016 preference dividend. Thus, 2500 of 2016 preference dividned is outstanding and will be paid in 2017.

In 2017 out of 22500, 15000 (12500 + 2500) dividendd is paid to preference share holders.

The amount of dividend received by common stockholders in 2017 = 22500 - 15000 = $7500

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

$4,502

Explanation:

​Brad's gross pay for the month is $6,400. His deduction for federal income tax is based on a rate of 22​%.

Brad's net​ pay if we assume a FICAlong - OASDI Tax of 6.2​% and FICAlong -Medicare Tax of 1.45​%. will be:

His gross pay for the month less all the statutory deductions

$6400 - [(0.22 x 6400) + (0.062 x 6400) + (0.0145 x 6400)] = $4,502

Automobile firms can use their inputs to make hybrid cars or "regular" (non-hybrid) cars. If the equilibrium price of hybrid car
77julia77 [94]

Answer: a) an increase in the Equilibrium price of "regular" cars.

Explanation:

It is stated that the automobile companies use their inputs to make either the <em>hybrid cars</em> or the <em>regular cars</em>.

If the price of the <em>Hybrid cars</em> rises sharply, Automobile companies will make more <em>Hybrid cars</em> so as to take advantage of the situation and make more profit.

This would reduce the amount of inputs that they have available for <em>regular cars</em> and so they will make less <em>regular cars. </em>

As this supply of <em>regular cars</em> decreases,the supply curve will shift to the left and the price will increase to cater for this reduction in supply.

N76 [4]
Using the Gordon Growth Model (a.k.a. Dividend Discount Model), the intrinsic value of a stock can be calculated, exclusive of current market conditions. In this model, the value of the stock is equated to the present value of the stock's future dividends. 

<span>Value of stock (P0) = D1 / (k - g)

</span>where
D1<span> = </span><span>expected annual </span>dividend<span> per share in the following year </span>
<span>k = the investor's discount rate or required </span>rate of return
g = the expected dividend growth rate 

<u>From the problem:</u>
The value of stock is $10.80
D1 is $0.40
g is 0.08

k is unknown

Solution:
Rearranging the equation for Gordon Growth Model to solve for k:

k = (D1/P0) + g

Substituting the variables with the given values, 

k = (0.40/10.80) + 0.08
k = 0.1170

In percent form, this is
0.1170 * 100% = 11.70%.

Thus, the total rate of return on the stock is 11.70%.

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

The rate of return on the investment if the price fall by 7% next year is -22% which is shown below.

The price of Telecom would have to fall by $71.43($250-$178.57), before a margin call could be placed.

Lastly,if the price fall immediately,the margin price would $178.57 as shown below

Explanation:

Total shares bought=$40000/$250=160 shares

Interest on amount borrowed=8%*$20000=$1600

When the price falls by 7% the new price =$250(1-0.07)=$232.50

Hence rate of return=(New price*number of shares-Interest-total investment)/initial investor's funds

=($232.50*160-$40000-$1600)/$20000=-22%

Initial margin=investor's money/total investment=$20000/$40000=50%

maintenance  margin=30%

Margin call price=Current price x (1- initial margin)/ (1- maintenance margin)

                           =$250*(1-0.5)/(1-0.3)

                           =$178.57
