Suppose that you are a big fan of the Harry Potter books. You would love to own a copy of the very first printing of the first​

book, but unfortunately you​ can't find it for sale for less than​ $5,000. You are willing to pay at most​ $200 for a​ copy, but​ can't find one at that price until one day in a used bookstore you see a copy selling for​ $10, which you immediately buy. Are you being irrational if you keep the copy rather than sell it?

Answer:

I consider it wouldn't be irrational

Explanation:

Since you have now a collectible book that, in a few years more from now would cost even more.

Must of the antiques that didn't cost to much in certain time now can be in auction and people make a lot of money with them.  

When you have a collectible you need to find Collector Clubs or dealers, search over the internet and compare prices and then you can determinate when it is a good moment to sell.

Hope It helps

Sweet Company’s outstanding stock consists of 1,000 shares of cumulative 5% preferred stock with a $100 par value and 10,000 sha
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer: In year three the preferred stockholders would receive $7,000 and the common stockholders would receive $25,000.

Explanation: Preferred stockholders are always paid before common stockholders. Since this stock in cumulative it means that when there is not enough income in one year to pay the preferred stock then the company needs to pay them when they have the money in the future.

In this case the preferred stock is 5% of $100 par value and is cumulative. This means that every year the company needs to pay 5% times $100 par value on each stock, and there is 1,000 shares, so the total is $5,000 in preferred stock dividends.

In year one and two they did not declare enough dividends to pay this full amount. In year one they declared $2,000 and year two they declared $6,000. At the end of year two they should have received $10,000, but only received $8,000. In year three they need to pay the preferred stockholders the $2,000 that are in arrears, plus the $5,000 for year three, for a total of $7,000. Since there was $32,000 in dividends declared and $7,000 is going to the preferred stockholders, it means that there is $25,000 left for the common stockholders. $25,000/10,000 shares equals $2.50 dividend per share.

If costs are 85% of sales (and profit is 15%), what is the amount of extra sales needed to equal $1,200 in profit from purchasin
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

$8,000

Explanation:

Given that

Profit = $1,200

Cost = 85% of sales

Profit = 15%

We know that

Sales = Cost + Profit

         = 85% + 15%

         = 100%

So sales percentage is 100%

Now we use the unitary method to find out the extra sales which would be

= Profit × sales percentage ÷ profit percentage

= $1,200 × 100% ÷ 15%

= $8,000
