Answer:

The preferred stock is an stock that gives the holder an extra privilege, usually of an economic nature, with respect to what we commonly know as ordinary shares. For example, the holder of a preferred stock has a higher hierarchy in the collection of dividends or in the distribution of the remaining assets in the event of bankruptcy by the company.

In case there are assets in liquidation, the hierarchy in the collection is better for the preferred shareholder than for the ordinary shareholder.

The responsibility of the ordinary shareholder is always limited, however, that of the preferred shareholder may not always be so under certain conditions.

Answer:

1) NOI = $90,240

2) NOI = 29,250

3) NOI = 133,260

4) NOI = 110,190

Explanation:

The question is incomplete.

Sales (38,000 units) $342,000 ($9.00 per unit)

Variable expenses $228,000 ($6.00 per unit)

Contribution margin $114,000 ($3.00 per unit)

Fixed expenses $42,000

Net operating income $72,000

1. What is the revised net operating income if unit sales increase by 16%

If unit sales increase, we can calculate this with a 16% increase in the contribution margin.

$NOI=CM*(1+0.16)-FE=114,000*1.16-42,000=132,240-42,000\\\\NOI=90,240$

2. What is the revised net operating income if the selling price decreases by $1.50 per unit and the number of units sold increases by 25%?

A reduction of $1.50 in price means a reduction of the same amount in the contribution margin per unit (CMu), as the variable expenses stay the same .

Also, the contribution margin increases by 25%, for the increase in units sold (q).

$NOI=CM_u*q-FE=(3.00-1.50)*(38,000*1.25)-42,000\\\\NOI=1.5*47,500-42,000=71,250-42,000\\\\NOI=29,250$

3. What is the revised net operating income if the selling price increases by $1.50 per unit, fixed expenses increase by $6,000, and the number of units sold decreases by 6%?

The selliing price will be added to the contribution margin per unit.

The units sold are increased 6%.

$NOI=CMu*q-FE=(3.00+1.50)*38,000*1.06-(42,000+6,000)\\\\NOI=4.5*40,280-48,000=181,260-48,000\\\\NOI=133,260$

4. What is the revised net operating income if the selling price per unit increases by 20%, variable expenses increase by 30 cents per unit, and the number of units sold decreases by 11%?

The contribution margin per unit, with a increase in price and an increase in variable cost, becomes:

$CM_u=P-VE_u=9.00*(1.20)-(6.00+0.30)=10.80-6.30=4.50$

The units sold is now:

$q'=(1-0.11)q=0.89q=0.89*38,000=33,820$

Then, the net operating income becomes:

$NOI=CM_u*q-FE=4.5*33,820-42,000=152,190-42,000\\\\NOI=110,190$

However, the requirements of the question is weights of the bonds,equity and preferred stock which are E/V,D/V and P/V respectively

E is the value of equity=2,000,000*$22=$44,000,000

D is the value of debt =100,000*$1000*96%=$96,000,000

P is the value of prefered stock=1,000,000*$10.50=$10,500,000

Total firm's finance(V) $150,500,000

E/V=$44,000,0000/$150,500,000=0.29

D/V=$96,000,0000/$150,500,000=0.64

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Unitary elastic

Elasticity of demand is unitary elastic because the absolute value of elasticity is equal to 1.

Explanation:

Elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price.

Elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price

Percentage change in quantity demanded = (25 - 15) / 25 = 0.4 × 100 = 40%

Percentage change in price = ($5 - $7) / $5 = 0.4 × 100 = 40%

Elasticity of demand = 40% / 40% = 1

If coefficient of elasticity is equal to 1, demand is unit elastic. It means that a change in price has an equal efect on the quantity demanded. Quantity demanded has an equal and proportional change to changes in price.
