<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>
GDP is calculated as follows:
Y = C + G + I + NX
where
C = Consumption
G = Government Expenditure
I = Investment
NX = Net Exports
It is mentioned that in 2015, GDP was 50 million and in 2016, it was 48 million without any change in the factors except NX. It means the net exports that is the difference between export and the import of the country has changed and it has fallen by 2 million.
He would would have a short term capital loss of $200 (10 shares at $20 each)
Short term losses are considered losses on assets that have been held for less than 1 year.

Answer:
<h2>
a. The Preferred stock is noncumulative.</h2>
Preferred stock
= 7,710 * 17.5 * 8%
= $10,794
Per share
= 10,794/7,710
= $1.40
Common Shareholders.
= 63,800 - 10,794
= $53,006
Per share
= 53,006/49,000
= $1.08
<h2>
b. Preferred stock is cumulative. </h2>
This means that if preferred dividends are not paid in a year, they will be accrued and paid when they can.
Preferred stock
= 7,710 * 3 years (2017,2018,2019)
= $23,130
Per share = 23,130/7,710
= $3
Common stock
= 63,800 - 23,130
= $40,670
Per share
= 40,670/49,000
= $0.83
c. Why were the dividends per share of common stock less for the cumulative preferred stock than the noncumulative preferred stock?
b. The dividends in arrears on the preferred stock had to be fulfilled before dividends could be paid for the current year.
