Answer:
$12,000
Explanation:
total preferred dividends per year = 1,200 x $50 x 5% = $3,000
since they were not paid during the past three years, and they are cumulative, the total preferred dividends = $3,000 x 4 = $12,000
common stock dividends = total dividends - accumulated preferred dividends = $25,000 - $12,000 = $13,000
cumulative preferred stocks that are not paid in the past, must be paid before any common dividends are paid
Answer:
The beta of stock T is 1.82
Explanation:
The portfolio beta is made up of the weighted average of the individual stock betas in the portfolio.
The formula for portfolio beta is,
Portfolio beta = wA * beta of A + wB * beta of B + ... + wX * beta of X
The weight of stock T in the portfolio is = 1 - (0.11 + 0.56) = 0.33 or 33%
Let beta of Stock T be x. The beta of Stock T is:
1.47 = 0.11 * 0.84 + 0.56 * 1.39 + 0.33 * x
1.47 = 0.0924 + 0.7784 + 0.33x
1.47 - 0.0924 - 0.7784 = 0.33x
0.5992 / 0.33 = x
x = 1.815 rounded off to 1.82

Answer:
31. B) 7,000 & 10,000
32. B) Alternative 2
Explanation:
Volume is 7000 tons :
Alternative 1 costs : $10,000 + (7000 * $10 ) = $80,000
Alternative 2 costs : $20,000 + (7000 * $8 ) = $76,000
Alternative 3 costs : $40,000 + (7000 * $6 ) = $82,000
Alternative 2 is the most cheapest option if the volume is between 7,000 tons to 10,000 tons.
