Answer:
a. $20,000
b. $180,000
Explanation:
Par value per preferred share = $8
Dividend rate = 5%
Dividend per preferred share = $8 * 5% = $0.40
Number of preferred shares = 50,000
a. Total dividend amount distributed to the preferred shareholders this year = 50,000 shares * $0.40 = $20,000
b. The total dividend amount distributed to the common shareholders this year = $200,000 - $20,000 = $180,000
Answer:
e. price elasticities of demand for apples and oranges are the same over these price ranges
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price.
Price elasticity = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
Percentage change in price = (50-40) / 50 = 0.2 × 100 = 20%
Percentage change in quantity demanded of Apples = (120 - 100) / 100 = 0.2 × 100 =
20%
Percentage change in quantity demanded of oranges = (240 - 200) / 200 = 0.2 × 100 = 20%
Price elasticity of demand for oranges = 20% / 20% = 1
Price elasticity of demand for Apples = 20% / 20% = 1
When coefficient of elasticity is equal than one, elasticity of demand is unit elastic.
This implies that the elasticity of demand for Apples and oranges are the same. A change in the price of oranges and apples would lead to the same proportional change for each of the demand for Apples and oranges.

Answer: increase by $80 million, and the maximum money-lending potential of the commercial banking system will increase by $400 million
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the money multiplier will be calculated thus:
Money multiplier = 1/Required reserve ratio
where,
Required reserve ratio = 20%
Money Multiplier will now be:
= 1/0.20
= 5
Therefore, the maximum money-lending potential will be:
= $80 million × 5
= $400 million
Therefore, the money supply will by $80 million, and the maximum money-lending potential of the commercial banking system will increase by $400 million
