All selling and administrative expenses are paid in cash in the period they are incurred. An estimated income tax payment of $55,000 will be made in October.

Maker-Bot Corporation has 10,000 shares of 10%, $90 par value, cumulative preferred stock outstanding since its inception. No di
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

D) $130,000

Explanation:

We can compute this by calculating the total dividends payable to preferred stock holders each year.

Dividends payable = 10,000 * 90 * 0.10 = $90,000

Since the shares are cumulative, the total preferred dividend payable at the end of third year is = $90,000 * 3 = $270,000

So common share in dividend = Total paid - Preferred dividend cumulative

Common Dividend share = 400,000 - 270,000 = $130,000

Hope that helps.

How much would $100, growing at 5% per year, be worth after 75 years? a. $4,077.43 b. $4,281.30 c. $3,883.27 d. $3,689.11 e. $4,
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The answer is c. $3,883.27

Explanation:

For the problem, we will be using the formula for calculating the Future Value of money, which is:

F= P(1+r)^{n}

Where:

F - future value

P - Principal amount = ($100)

r - rate of growth in percent = (5% or 0.05)

n - number of years = (75)

We calculate thus:

F = 100(1 + 0.05)^{75}

F = 100(1.05)^{75}

F = 100  X  38.8327

F = 3,883.27

therefore the amount after 75 years will be $3,883.27

Mama L [17]

The sample standard deviation of this dataset is =19.1.

The Standard deviation is a degree of the amount of variant or dispersion of a set of values. A low widespread deviation indicates that the values tend to be near the mean of the set, at the same time as a high widespread deviation indicates that the values are spread out over a much wider variety.
