Answer:
The correct answer is option B. 
Explanation:
If an economy is working well below capacity this means there is huge amount of unused resources left. Resources or inputs at this point will be available at a relatively lower price. So the firms will be able to expand output at a cheaper rate.  
When the demand for inputs increase the input price will not increase much. So, the firms will be able to increase output and the price level will not increase by a great extent. 
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
$6,500 was distributed to preferred shareholders
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.
Value of Preferred share = 8000 shares x $10 par value = $80,000
Preferred Dividend = $80,000 x 5% = $4,000
Accrued dividend of 2016 = $4,000 - $1500 = $2500
Total Dividend Accrued = $2,500 + $4,000 = $6,500
