Answer:

=  $27,920,000.00

Explanation:

<em>A preferred stock is that which pays a fixed percentage of its nominal  value as dividend. A preferred stock ranks ahead of common stock in the payment of dividends and settlement of claims in the event of liquidation.</em>

<em>However, preference dividends are paid out of profit only after the interest claims of loan creditors have been settled</em>

The total amount of preference dividends payable by Xerox

= 8% × 349,000,000

=  $27,920,000.00

Preference dividends = =  $27,920,000.00

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

8,955 units

Explanation:

Given that,

Sales in July = 9,500

Sales in August = 10,200

Sales in September = 6,050

Ending finished goods inventory = 30% of the next month's sale

Budgeted production units for August:

= Sales + Closing inventory - Opening inventory

= Sales + (30% of September sales) - (30% of August sales)

= 10,200 + (0.3 × 6,050) - (0.3 × 10,200)

= 10,200 + 1,815 - $3,060

= 8,955 units

kompoz [17]

Answer: Option "d" $280000 and $700000.

Explanation:

Option “d” is correct because the recognized gain is $280,000.  Pam exchanges a building that has adjusted worth $520000 for the land which has a value of $700000. Thus, at this point, Pam is making a profit of (700000 - 520000) = $180,000. Moreover, he receives additional cash of $100,000. So, total gain by Pam is $180,000 + $100000 = $280,000. However, the tax basis of land refers to the fair market value at which it was acquired. So, it will be $700000.

stich3 [128]

Answer: 5.36%

Explanation:

The after-tax cost of debt refers to the interest that is paid on debt which is then less the income tax savings as a result of the deductible interest expenses.

When calculating the after-tax cost of debt, the effective tax rate of a company should be subtracted from 1, after which the difference will be multiplied by the cost of debt. This will therefore be:

= Rate (10,8% × 1000, -960 + 20, 1000) × (1-40%)

=5.36%

ella [17]

Answer:

The answers are : Stable financial system; Strategic location; High literacy rate.
