Answer:
The correct option is C,$2.25 and $0.00.
Explanation:
The annual preferred shares dividends=20,000*$100*2%=$40,000
In the first year ,dividends of $10,000 paid would go to preferred stockholders while the common stockholders receive nothing.
In the second year,it is imperative to note that the balance of unpaid preferred stock dividends of $30,000 ($40,000-$10,000) would be paid alongside this year preferred dividends.
preferred stock dividends=$30,000+$40,000
However the $45,000 paid is not enough to settle the preferred stockholders,again,the total dividends of $45,000 would be paid to preferred stockholders
preferred stock dividend per share=$45,000/20,000=$2.25
common stock dividend per share is $0
Option C is the correct answer.

Answer:
(29,800)
Explanation:
The computation of the financial advantage or disadvantage is shown below:
As we know that
Financial disadvantage = Cost of making - Cost of buying
where,
Cost of making is
= [(Direct material per unit + direct labor per unit + variable manufacturing overhead per unit) × units produced] + additional segment margin
= [($4.7 + $9.30 + $9.80 + $5.20) × 22,000 units] + $34,000
= ($29 × 22,000 units ) + $34,000
= $672,000
And, the Cost of buying is
= Units produced × offered price
= 22,000 units × $31.90
= $701,800
So,
Financial disadvantage is
= Cost of making - Cost of buying
= $672,000 - $701,800
= (29,800)
Back in 2015, McDonald’s was struggling. In Europe, sales were down 1.4% across the previous 6 years; 3.3% down in the US and almost 10% down across Africa and the Middle East. There were a myriad of challenges to overcome. Rising expectations of customer experience, new standards of convenience, weak in-store technology, a sprawling menu, a PR-bruised brand and questionable ingredients to name but a few.
McDonald’s are the original fast-food innovators; creating a level of standardisation that is quite frankly, remarkable. Buy a Big Mac in Beijing and it’ll taste the same as in Stratford-Upon Avon.
So when you’ve optimised product delivery, supply chain and flavour experience to such an incredible degree — how do you increase bottom line growth? It’s not going to come from making the Big Mac cheaper to produce — you’ve already turned those stones over (multiple times).
The answer of course, is to drive purchase frequency and increase margins through new products.
Numerous studies have shown that no matter what options are available, people tend to stick with the default options and choices they’ve made habitually. This is even more true when someone faces a broad selection of choices. We try to mitigate the risk of buyers remorse by sticking with the choices we know are ‘safe’.
McDonald’s has a uniquely pervasive presence in modern life with many of us having developed a pattern of ordering behaviour over the course of our lives (from Happy Meals to hangover cures). This creates a unique, and less cited, challenge for McDonald’s’ reinvention: how do you break people out of the default buying behaviours they’ve developed over decades?
In its simplest sense, the new format is designed to improve customer experience, which will in turn drive frequency and a shift in buying behaviour (for some) towards higher margin items. The most important shift in buying patterns is to drive reappraisal of the Signature range to make sure they maximise potential spend from those customers who can afford, and want, a more premium experience.

Answer: Statement A
Explanation: Direct cost are those costs which are variable in nature and can be allocated to the total units of output produced, these are easily traceable. Examples - direct material, direct labor and piece rate wages etc.
Indirect costs are those cost which cannot be allocated to the number of units produced on individual basis unlike direct cost these costs can be either fixed or variable in nature. Examples - rent expenses, administrative expenses.
.
From the above explanation we can conclude that statement A is correct.
