Answer:

The DRS's EBIT will be $205,920.

Explanation:

Degree of operating leverage measures how EBIT will change with change in sales

Degree of operating leverage (DOL) = % change in EBIT / % change in sales

In our case, DOL = 3.2x

Sales forecast = $300,000

Actual sales = $313,500

% change in sales = (Actual sales - forecast )/ forecast = (313,500 - 300,000) / 300,000

                              = 4.5%

EBIT forecast = $180,000

Now putting everything in DOL formula

3.2 = % change in EBIT / % change in sales = % change in EBIT / 4.5

% change in EBIT = 3.2 * 4.5

                             = 14.4%

Actual EBIT = Forecast *(1 + % change)

                    = 180,000*(1 + 0.014)

                    = $205,920

Therefore, The DRS's EBIT will be $205,920.

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

(a) Preferred dividend = $9,500; and Common dividend = $73,500.

(b) Preferred dividend = $28,500; and Common dividend = $54,500.

(c) Total preferred dividend = $46,022; andTotal common dividend = $36,978

Explanation:

(a) The preferred stock is noncumulative and nonparticipating. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. $38,487.)

This implies preferred shareholders are entitled only to this year's dividend. Therefore, we have:

Preferred dividend = Number of preferred shares * Preferred share par value * Dividend percentage = 1,900 * $100 * 5% = $9,500

Common dividend = Retained earnings - Preferred dividend = $83,000 - $9,500 = $73,500

(b) The preferred stock is cumulative and nonparticipating. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. $38,487.)

This implies preferred shareholders are entitled to the previous 2 years and this year's dividends making 3 years. Therefore, we have:

Preferred dividend = Number of preferred shares * Preferred share par value * Preferred dividend percentage = 1,900 * $100 * 5% * 3 = $28,500

Common dividend = Retained earnings - Preferred dividend = $83,000 - $28,500 = $54,500

(c) The preferred stock is cumulative and participating. (Round the rate of participation to 4 decimal places, e.g.1.4278%. Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. $38,487.)

First-Preferred dividend for 2 years = Number of preferred shares * Preferred share par value * Dividend percentage = 1,900 * $100 * 5% * 2 = $19,000

Second-Preferred dividend for this year = Number of preferred shares * Preferred share par value * Dividend percentage = 1,900 * $100 * 5% = $9,500

Third-Common dividend = Number of common shares * Common share per value * Preferred dividend percentage = 5,200 * $50 * 5% = $13,000

Remaining payout = Retained earnings - First-Preferred dividend for 2 years - Second-Preferred dividend for this year - Third-Common dividend = $83,000 - $19,000 - $9,500 - $13,000 = $41,500

Fourth participating payout as preferred dividend = Remaining payout * (Value of preferred shares / (Value of preferred share + Value of preferred share common shares)) = $41,500 * ((1,900 * $100) / ((1,900 * $100) + (5,200 * $50))) = $17,522

Fifth participating payout as common dividend = Remaining payout * (Value of common shares / (Value of preferred share + Value of preferred share common shares)) = $41,500 * ((5,200 * $50) / ((1,900 * $100) + (5,200 * $50))) = $23,978

Total preferred dividend = First-Preferred dividend for 2 years + Second-Preferred dividend for this year + Fourth participating payout as preferred dividend = $19,000 + $9,500 + $17,522 = $46,022

Total common dividend = Third-Common dividend + Fifth participating payout as common dividend = $13,000 + $23,978 = $36,978
