I'm guessing it is B because it doesn't have enough information. My reasoning is because: Just because you are buying a house doesn't mean you have kids or will have kids, and if you don't elementary school wouldn't be a factor you will consider
hope this helps
Answer and Explanation:
1. The preferred stock is non-cumulative, and in previous years, the company has not skipped any dividends.
Dividend paid to preferred shareholders = Shares × Par value preferred stock × Shares percentage
= 3300 × $103 × 7%
= $23,793
Dividend paid to common shareholders = Cash dividend - Dividend paid to preferred shareholders
= $123,500 - $23,793
= $99,707
2. The preferred stock is non-cumulative, and in both of the two previous years, the company did not pay a dividend.
Dividend paid to preferred shareholders = Shares × Par value preferred stock × Shares percentage
= 3300 × $103 × 7%
= $23,793
Dividend paid to common shareholders = Cash dividend - Dividend paid to preferred shareholders
= $123,500 - $23,793
= $99,707
3. The preferred stock is cumulative, and in both of the two previous years the company did not pay a dividend.
Dividend paid to preferred shareholders = Shares × Par value preferred stock × Shares percentage × Number of years
= 3,300 × $103 × 7% × 3
= $71,379
Dividend paid to common shareholders = Cash dividend - Dividend paid to preferred shareholders
= $123,500 - $71,379
= $52,121
Answer:
c. will earn zero economic profits but positive accounting profits
Explanation:
A competitive industry is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services.
There are no barriers to entry and exit of firms. If firms in a competitive industry earn economic profit in the short run, firms enter into the industry in the long run and economic profit falls to zero.
A competitive firm earns accounting profit but doesn't earn economic profit.
Accounting profit = Revenue - Cost
Economic profit = Accounting profit - Opportunity cost
