Answer:

$84,000

Explanation:

preference share dividend is at 5% on $100 par value. The  number of preference shares is 12,000 shares ( non cumulative)

The year 2017 preference share dividend pay out is 5% of 100 multiplied by 12,000 = $60,000

Deduct $ 60,000 from $144,000 dividend declared in 2017 , the balance is common stockholders dividend.

144,000 minus 60,000 = $84,000

Non cumulative preference shares dividend are paid first for the year the company declares dividend. The dividend is not cumulative ( prior years dividend for which company did not declare dividend are forfeited).

The common stockholders are paid dividend after preference shares dividend are paid. The common stockholders bears the full risk of the business as seen above. In event of liquidation, they are the last to be settled from realised asset of the bankrupt company.

Net income:                             $

Revenue                             140,000

Expenses                            (50,000)

Dividend paid                    <u> (70,000)</u>

Net income                        <u> </u><u>20,000</u><u>   </u>      

Net income is the amount of increase in stockholders' equity.

Net income is the excess of revenue over expenses and dividend. A positive net income increases the stockholders' equity.

A manufacturer estimates that its product can be produced at a total cost of C(x) = 50,000 + 100x + x3 dollars. If the manufactu
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

The level of production x that will maximize the profit is: 22,966

Explanation:

C(x) = 50,000 + 100x + x³

R(x) = 3400x

P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

      = 3400x - [50,000 + 100x + x³]

      = 3400x - 50,000 - 100x - x³

      = 3300x - 50,000 - x³   .................... (A)

P'(x) = 3300(1) - 0 - 3x²

       = 3300 - 3x²

At a critical point, P'(x) = 0

∴   0 = 3300 - 3x²

  3x² = 3300

    x² = 1100

     x = ± \sqrt{1100}

P"(x) = -6x

P(\sqrt{1100}) = -6 (\sqrt{1100})   < 0

by second derivative, 'P' max at    x = \sqrt{1100} = 33.17 (rounds)

since x =  \sqrt{1100} ,

recall that P(x) = 3300x - 50,000 - x³ from equation (A)

Therefore, Maximum Profit

P(\sqrt{1100}) = 3300\sqrt{1100} - 50000 - \sqrt{1100} ^{3}

              = 3300(33.17) - 50,000 - 33.17³

              = 109461 -50,000 - 36495.26

              = 22,965.74

Maximum profit is 22,966 to the nearest whole number
