Answer:
option (c) 9%
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
current price of outstanding shares = $38.89
Last Dividend paid = $3.50
Marginal tax rate = 34%
Now,
cost of preferred equity = Dividend ÷ Price per share
thus,
cost of preferred equity = $3.50 ÷ $38.89
or
cost of preferred equity = 0.0899
or
cost of preferred equity = 0.0899 × 100%
= 8.99% ≈ 9%
Hence,
The correct answer is option (c) 9%

Explanation:
If we are to use wage the rate of change in wages or inflation, as a proxy for inflation in the economy, when there is unemployment, the number of persons searching for work is significantly greater than the number of jobs available for the people who are unemployed. What we mean is, the supply of labor is greater than the demand for it.
With the availability of many workers, there's little need for employers to "bid" for the services of employees by paying them good wages.

Answer:
Crane Company
If Crane Company uses LIFO, the value of the ending inventory is:
= $440.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Units Unit Cost Total Cost
1/1/20 inventory 150 $4.00 $600
1/15/20 Purchase, 70 5.10 357
1/28/20 Purchase, 70 5.30 371
Total 240 $1,328
1/31/20 inventory 110 $4.00 $440 ($4.00 * 110)
b) The LIFO method assumes that goods that are sold first are the last that were purchased. Therefore, the cost of the ending inventory is usually based on the cost of the earlier inventory purchased. In our case, the cost per unit was based on the beginning inventory balance.
Answer:
$40
Explanation:
Target cost is the cost per unit arrived at after having deducted the required profit margin from the competitive market price.
It is a management technique that makes management think about ways to achieve a set target cost rather than forcing their actual cost plus profit margin on customers.
In this case, the competitive market price is $54 per unit of hard drive whereas the company expects to achieve a total profit of $14 per unit
Profit margin per unit=$14
competitive market price=$54
Target cost=competitive market price-profit margin per unit
Target cost=$54-$14
Target cost=$40
