The cost of preferred stock

Business
1 answer:
Ghella [55]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Dividends are fixed ⇒ Debt

Preferred dividends are fixed much like the interest payments made on debt which makes this a characteristic of debt.

Usually have no specified maturity date ⇒ Equity

Equity does not have an expiration or maturity date and preferred shares share this same characteristic.

Cost of preferred stock.

The value of a Preferred stock is calculated by the formula:

Price = Dividend / Cost of preferred stock

97.95 = 11 / Cp

97.95 * Cp = 11

Cp = 11/ 97.95

= 11.23%

Universal Mines Inc. operates three mines in West Virginia. The ore from each mine is separated into two grades before it is shi
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

this is a cost minimization problem, but it is missing some numbers, so I looked for similar questions (see attached PDF):

minimization equation = 20x₁ + 22x₂ + 18x₃ (costs per ton)

where:

x₁ = mine I

x₂ = mine II

x₃ = mine III

the constraints are:

4x₁ + 6x₂ + x₃ ≥ 54 (high grade ore)

4x₁ + 4x₂ + 6x₃ ≥ 65 (low grade ore)

x₁, x₂, x₃ ≤ 7 (only 7 days per week)  

using solver, the optimal solution is

2x₁, 7x₂, and 5x₃

a. The number of days Mine I should operate = <u>2 days </u>

b. The number of days Mine Il should operate = <u>7 days </u>

c. The number of days Mine III should operate = <u>5 days </u>

d. The total cost of the operation for next week = <u>$284,000</u>

Primara Corporation has a standard cost system in which it applies overhead to products based on the standard direct labor-hours
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

1. The fixed portion of the predetermined overhead rate for the year is $10,000 per direct labor hour.

2. The fixed overhead budget variance is $4,000 unfavourable and the fixed overhead volume variance is $10,000 favourable.

Explanation:

In order to calculate the the fixed portion of the predetermined overhead rate for the year we would have to use the following formula:

predetermined overhead rate for the year=<u>Total fixed overhead cost year</u>

                                                                          Budgeted direct labor-hours

                                                                     =$ 250,000/25,000

                                                                      =$10,000

1. The fixed portion of the predetermined overhead rate for the year is $10,000 per direct labor hour.

In order to calculate the fixed overhead budget variance, we use the following formula:

2. fixed overhead budget variance=Actual fixed overhead cost for the year- budgeted fixed overhead cost for the year

                                                     =$ 254,000-$ 250,000

                                                     =$4,000 unfavourable

In order to calculate the fixed overhead volume variance, we use the following formula:

fixed overhead volume variance=budgeted fixed overhead cost for the year-fixed overhead appliead to work in process

                                                     =$ 250,000-(26,000×10)

                                                     =$10,000 favourable

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

D All of these answers are correct.

Explanation:

Given that the corporation had 1,000,000 shares of $10 par value common stock outstanding. On March 31, the company declared a 20% stock dividend. Market value of the stock was $18/share. As a result of this event

Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par = 1000000*20%*(18-10) = 1600000

Stock dividend = 1000000*20%*18= 3600000

Edison's total stockholders' equity was unaffected because increase in Stock dividend leads to decrease in retained earnings by the same amount.

Answer is option D All of these answers are correct.
