Jones may decide that the equity method would not be appropriate to account for the investment when Jones Company does not have significant influences over the management/operation of Sandridge Company.

Dividend - Preferred stock = $120000
Dividend - Common stock = $680000
Explanation:
The amount of dividend that is paid to each class of stock can be calculated by first calculating the dividend payable to preferred stock. The amount of dividend on preferred stock is fixed and is paid before the common stockholders are paid. Thus, dividend on preferred stock per year is,
Dividend - Preferred stock = 10000 * 200 * 0.06 = $120000
Thus, out of $800000 cash dividends, $120000 will be paid on the cumulative preferred stock.
Remaining dividend = 800000 - 120000 = $680000
The remaining $680000 will be paid to the common stockholders.

Explanation:
The money Alice paid in 1985 ($20,000) is considered a sunk cost.
A sunk cost is money already spent that cannot be recovered.
So if Alice decides to buy the land or not, she will not recover a cent from the $20,000 she paid before.
Since the current price of the land is $110,000 and Alice can purchase it for $100,000, then she should buy it. She is going to earn a $10,000 profit.

Dual distribution is a situation where a manufacturer decides to distribute their products directly (using their own distributors) and, at the same time, hire independent distributors (who have no ownership relationship with the manufacturer).
Dual distribution derives its name from the fact that two means of distribution are used simultaneously: one of its own and one contracted. It is a mixture of the two basic distribution options that a manufacturer has: to integrate vertically and assume all distribution activities until reaching the final consumer or; outsource these activities and pay others to carry them out.
