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

Why would a producer decide to produce in a competitive market in which she will earn zero profit in the long run? Choose one: A
zhenek [66]

Answer:

Option A : Because at zero profit, with her revenue, she can cover all her costs—explicit and implicit (opportunity cost).

Explanation:

Perfectly Competitive Market

This is simply a market the market participants are said to be price takers that is no consumption decisions by individual consumers and no production decisions by individual producers can be able to affect the market price of a good.

Perfectly Competitive Industry

This is simply an industry where producers are said to be price takers.

Explicit Costs

These are costs that are simply known as "out-of-pocket" costs or in accounting costs. They are an individual's fixed and variable costs of doing business.

Implicit Costs

These are costs that do not partains to monetary payment as they are the opportunity costs of doing business.

It is said that at zero profit, the revenue covers all the costs, including the implicit ones. The fact that her implicit costs are covered shows that no outside option or opportunity that is superior to the zero economic profit option is chosened.

aleksley [76]

Answer: 0.050

Explanation:

Mean = 18

USL = 18.6

LSL = 17.4

SD = 1.25

Cpk = Min{(mean - LSL / 3*sd), (USL - mean / 3*sd)}

= Min{ ( 18 - 17.4/ 3 * 1.25), (18.6 - 18 / 3 * 1.25)}

= Min { 0.05 0.05)

Cpk = 0.050

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Option C. Debit Cash and credit Stock Investments

Explanation:

The reason is that in the equity method of recording the dividends receipts, it is always deducted from the stock investment and the relevant share of reported net income of the associate is added to the stock investment.

So mathematically,

Stock Investment Under Equity Method = Opening Value for the year + Share of Net Income - Dividend received

Stock Investment Under Equity Method = $300,000 + $160,000 * 25% + $60,000 * 25% = $325,000

The above treatment shows that the recording of dividends include credit to stock investment and the cash receipt is always debited.

So the double entry would be:

Dr Cash $15,000

Cr Dividends $15,000

So the option C is correct.
