Answer: C. use 0.8 fewer units of capital.

Explanation:

The Marginal Rate of Technical Substitution (MRTS) shows how much you can decrease capital or labor by in order to keep production constant if you increase either capital or labor.

It is calculated by the formula:

= Marginal product of labor  / Marginal product of capital

= 4 / 5

= 0.8

<em>The firm should use 0.8 fewer units of capital in order to maintain the same production level. </em>

Assuming that total dividends declared in 2017 were $64,000, and that the preferred stock is not cumulative but is fully partici
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

$40,235

Explanation:

Dividend distributed to preferred share is based on the predetermined rate associated with these share. When the dividend is declared preferred share dividend is paid first. The remainder is distributed between the common stockholders.

Dividend Declared = $64,000  

Preferred Dividend = $100,000 x 7% = $7,000

Participation

Preferred Shares = $100,000 / $20 = 5,000 shares

Common shares = 12,000 shares

Total Shares = 12,000 + 5,000 = 17,000 shares

on Pro-rata basis

Participation dividend to preferred stockholder = ($64,000 - $7,000) x 5000 / 17000 = $16,765

Dividend to common stock holders = $64,000 - $7,000 - $16,765 = $40,235

A bond coupon rate represents its yearly earnings. However, most bonds will pay the interest twice per year. The bond issuer pays the bondholder regular and fixed interest until the bond matures. The coupon rate determines the bond's profitability. A bond with a higher coupon rate is more attractive to investors.
