Answer:

d.$24,000

Explanation:

The preferred stock is cumulative, in that preferred stockholders are entitled to arrears of dividends for years in which dividends were not paid let alone declared.

The dividends owed to preferred stockholders were for 2 years , 2016 and 2017, hence, we compute the outstanding preferred stock dividends for the 2 years as follows:

annual  preferred stock dividends=number of stocks*par value*dividend rate

number of stocks=2,000

par value=$100

dividend rate=6%

annual  preferred stock dividends=2,000*$100*6%

annual preferred stock dividends =$12,000

2 years' dividends=$12,000*2=$24,000

Assume that the risk-free rate of interest is 6% and the expected rate of return on the market is 16%. A share of stock sells fo
Tju [1.3M]

Answer: Price of stock at year end =$53

Explanation:

we first compute the Expected rate of return using the CAPM FORMULAE that

Expected return =risk-free rate + Beta ( Market return - risk free rate)

Expected return=6% + 1.2 ( 16%-6%)

Expected return= 0.06 + 1.2 (10%)

Expected return=0.06+ 0.12

Expected return=0.18

Using the formulae Po= D1 / R-g  to find the growth rate

Where Po= current price of stock at $50

D1= Dividend at $6 at end of year

R = Expected return = 0.18

50= 6/ 0.18-g

50(0.18-g) =6

9-50g=6

50g=9-6

g= 3/50

g=0.06 = 6%

Now that we have gotten the growth rate and expected return, we can now determine the price the investors are expected to sell the stock at the end of year.

Price of stock = D( 1-g) / R-g

= 6( 1+0.06)/ 0.18 -0.06

=6+0.36/0.12

=6.36/0.12=  $53

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

B) the less an additional unit of capital adds to production

Explanation:

The diminishing return state that if everything else is held constant, each additional unit will increase production by a fewer amount than previous one. That's because the same amount of resource can only use efficiently a certain amount of capital then there is a loss in this good use and therefore, the output do not increase at the same rate as we add up capital.

A person can do a good use of several type of tool for building a house but I can only use one or two at the time

Adding more tools can increase productivity but in the end there is only one person working.
