Answer:

a. Dividends to Preferred shareholders:

Total dividends:

= 20,000 * 50 * 6%

= $60,000

Dividends per preferred share:

= 60,000 / 20,000 shares

= $3.00 per share

Common shareholder dividends

Common shareholders get the remaining dividends that did not go to Preferred shareholders:

= 160,000 - 60,000

= $100,000

Common dividends per share:

= 100,000 / 50,000 shares

= $2.00 per share

b. These are cumulative preferred shares which means that accrued dividends must be paid off:

Preferred shares in total would be:

= 60,000 * 2

= $120,000

Preferred dividends per share:

= 120,000 / 20,000

= $6.00 per share

Common dividends in total:

= 160,000 - 120,000

= $40,000

Common dividends per share:

= 40,000 / 50,000 shares

= $0.80 per share

ACME labs bought a new inspection device for $182,730. The accounting department has estimated that the device will have an annu
enyata [817]

Answer:

salvage value is $16,368.34

Explanation:

given data

initial cost = $182,730

annualized capital cost = $42,442

service life = 7 year

interest rate = 15%

solution

we get here first present value that is

annual value  = rate ×  \frac{present\ value}{(1 - (1+ r)^{-t})}       .................1

put here value and we get

42,442 = 15% ×  \frac{present\ value}{(1 - (1+ 0.15)^{-7})}

solve it we get

present value = $176,576.5343  

so

present value = initial investment + salvage value     ..............2

we take here present value and initial investment will be negative

-176,576.5343 = -182,730 + salvage value(p/f,15%,7)  

-176,576.5343 +182,730 = salvage value(p/f,15%,7)

6,153.465 = salvage value × 0.3759

salvage value = 16,368.34

The increase in total revenue that results from selling one more unit of output is A. marginal revenue. B. average revenue. C. m
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

(i) Option (A) is correct.

(ii) Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

(i) Marginal revenue refers to the change in total revenue obtained from the sale of an extra unit of a commodity. It is calculated by differentiating total revenue with respect to output. It is shown as:

Marginal\ revenue=\frac{dTR}{dq}

where,

TR = Total revenue

q = output

(ii) In a perfectly competitive market, price is equal to both average revenue and marginal revenue. Since, firms in a competitive market are not required to reduce the price of their product for selling more number of units. Hence, the average revenue remains the same at all the level of output. That's why average revenue in equal to the price under perfect market conditions.

Therefore, every additional unit of an output is sold at a same price, so the marginal revenue obtained from an extra unit is constant and hence, price is equal to the marginal revenue.
