Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

1. Calculation of total dividend for six years (2011 to 2016)

Total dividend = 2011  dividend + 2012  dividend + 2013  dividend + 2014  dividend + 2015  dividend + 2016  dividend

Total dividend = $20,000 + $36,000 + $70,000 + $90,000 + $102,000  + $150,000  

Total dividend = $468,000  

2. Calculation of per-share dividends declared on each class of stock for each of the six years

Note that preferred stock holders are entitled to dividend first before the common stock holders. It is what remains after paying the preferred shareholders that the common shareholders get. Therefore, the calculation is done as follows:

2011:

Preferred dividend per share = Preferred dividend rate × Preferred stock price

Expected preferred dividend per share = 1% × $30 = 0.30 per share

Expected total preferred dividend = Expected preferred dividend per share × Number proffered share

Expected total preferred dividend = $0.30 × 100,000 = $30,000

Actual dividend declared = $20,000

Preferred dividend declared per share = $20,000 ÷ 100,000 = $0.20

Preferred dividend arrears (Cumulative) = $30,000 - $20,000 = $10,000

Preferred dividend per share arrears (Cumulative)  = $10,000 ÷ 100,000 = $0.10

Since preferred stock holders are entitled to dividend first before the common stock holders and the dividend declared is lower than the dividend payable to the preferred shareholders, the common stockholders will receive zero dividend in 2011.

Also, since it is stated in the question that the preferred 1% stock is cumulative

2012:

Expected preferred dividend per share = 1% × $30 = 0.30 per share

Expected total preferred dividend = Expected preferred dividend per share × Number proffered share

Expected total preferred dividend = $0.30 × 100,000 = $30,000

Total dividend declared = $36,000

Preferred dividend declared per share = $30,000 ÷ 100,000 = $0.30

To pay preferred dividend in arrears = $36,000 - $30,000 = $6,000

Preferred dividend arrears per share paid = $6,000 ÷ 100,000 = $0.06

Balance of preferred dividend arrears = $10,000 - $6,000 = $4,000

Balance of preferred dividend per share arrears  = $4,000 ÷ 100,000 = $0.04.

Total preferred dividend paid in 2012 = $36,000

Preferred dividend per share paid in 2012 = $36,000 ÷ 100,000 = 0.36

Again for the same reason as stated above, the common stockholders will also receive zero dividend in 2012.

2013:

Expected preferred dividend per share = 1% × $30 = 0.30 per share

Expected total preferred dividend = Expected preferred dividend per share × Number proffered share

Expected total preferred dividend = $0.30 × 100,000 = $30,000

Total dividend declared = $70,000

Preferred dividend declared per share = $30,000 ÷ 100,000 = $0.30

To pay preferred dividend arrears = $4,000

Preferred dividend arrears per share paid = $4,000 ÷ 100,000 = $0.04

Common stock dividend = $70,000 - $34,000 = $36,000

Common stock dividend per share = $36,000 ÷ 400,000 = $0.09.

2014:

Expected preferred dividend per share = 1% × $30 = 0.30 per share

Expected total preferred dividend = Expected preferred dividend per share × Number proffered share

Actual total preferred dividend = $0.30 × 100,000 = $30,000

Preferred dividend declared per share = $30,000 ÷ 100,000 = $0.30

Total dividend declared = $90,000

Common stock dividend = $90,000 - $30,000 = $60,000

Common stock dividend per share = $60,000 ÷ 400,000 = $0.15.

2014:

Expected preferred dividend per share = 1% × $30 = 0.30 per share

Expected total preferred dividend = Expected preferred dividend per share × Number proffered share

Actual total preferred dividend = $0.30 × 100,000 = $30,000

Preferred dividend declared per share = $30,000 ÷ 100,000 = $0.30

Total dividend declared = $102,000

Common stock dividend = $102,000 - $30,000 = $72,000

Common stock dividend per share = $72,000 ÷ 400,000 = $0.18.

2015:

Expected preferred dividend per share = 1% × $30 = 0.30 per share

Expected total preferred dividend = Expected preferred dividend per share × Number proffered share

Actual total preferred dividend = $0.30 × 100,000 = $30,000

Preferred dividend declared per share = $30,000 ÷ 100,000 = $0.30

Total dividend declared = $150,000

Common stock dividend = $150,000 - $30,000 = $130,000

Common stock dividend per share = $130,000 ÷ 400,000 = $0.33.

A bank loaned out 19,000 part of it at 6% interest per year and the rest at 14% per year. if the interest recieved in one year t
Ksju [112]
Let x be the part of 19,000 that was loaned out at 6% such that the remaining 19,000 - x was loaned out at 14%. The interest is calculated by the equation,

    I = P x i x n

where P is the principal amount, i is the interest, n is the number of years. Substituting the known values,

   2000 = (x)(0.06) + (19000 - x)(0.14)

The value of x from the equation above is 8250.

Hence, 8,250 was loaned out at 6%.

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

the amount charged is $178.43

Explanation:

The computation of the price charged is  shown below:

As we know that

Future value = Present value × (1 + rate)^number of years

So,

Present value = Future value ÷ (1 + rate)^no of years

= $1,000 ÷ (1 + 0.09)^20

= $1,000 ÷ 1.09^20

= $178.43

Hence, the amount charged is $178.43

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

The increase in operating profit is $1,829.00.

Explanation:

The rise or fall in the operating income:

= Purchase unit × ( offer price- direct material- direct labor- variable overhead)

The rise or fall in the operating income: = 1550× (2 - 0.26 - 0.4 - 0.16)

The rise or fall in the operating income: = $1829

Therefore the profit will increase by $1829

Here all the fixed cost is not considered because it is a sunk cost and variable and administrative expenses are also not considered because these costs are not going to be incurred for offer.

Evan is single and has AGI of $277,300 in 2020. His potential itemized deductions before any limitations for the year total $52,
tatiyna

Answer:

$24,402.50

Explanation:

Medical expenses can be deducted only if they are above 7.5% of your AGI:

$277,300 x 7.5% = $20,797.50

Medical deductions = $29,000 - $20,797.50 = $8,202.50

Evan can deduct $8,700 in mortgage interests

Total deductions for state and local taxes for a single filer = $5,000

Charitable contributions are also deductible = $2,500

total deductions = $8,202.50 + $8,700 + $5,000 + $2,500 = $24,402.50
