400,000,000*0.05= unemployed people

20,000,000= unemployed people

Waterway industries, has 4700 shares of 5%, $50 par value, cumulative preferred stock and 100000 shares of $1 par value common s
e-lub [12.9K]

Since the preferred stocks are cumulative in nature, the dividend amount not paid in the current year will be accumulated and paid in the next year.

Preferred dividend to be paid in 2017 = Value of preferred stock x Dividend rate

= (4700 x $50) x 5%

= 11750

Dividend to be paid in 2018 = same as 2017 as no new preferred stock issued

= 11750

Total dividend to be paid in 2018 = Dividend to be paid in 2018 + Dividend to be paid in 2017 – Dividend paid in 2017

= 11750 +11750 -7900

= $15600

A company's inventory records report the following:
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

Closing value of inventory = $357 for 21 units

Explanation:

As for the provided information we have,

Under FIFO method we know,

FIFO means First In First Out, under this the goods bought at earliest are sold earliest.

That means first opening inventory is sold, then the inventory purchased at the earliest.

Now we have,

Opening Inventory = 27 units @ $17 = $459

Purchases:

Aug 5              22 units @ $16 = $352

Aug 12             26 units @ $17 = $442

Provided 54 units are sold on Aug 15, that means, opening inventory of 27 units, 22 units bought on Aug 5, and 54 - 27 - 22 = 5 units from purchases on Aug 12.

Therefore, after sale units left = 26 - 5 = 21 units

Thus, closing value of inventory = $357 for 21 units
