Net sales                                              $30,000,000       $37,500,000

Less: Operating costs                            19,500,000          24,375,000

Depreciation &amortization expenses    1,200,000            1,200,000

Operating income (or EBIT)                  $9,300,000         $11,925,000

Less: Interest expense                              930,000              1,788,750

Pre-tax income (or EBT)                          8,370,000            10,136,250

Less: Taxes (40%)                                   3,348,000             4,054,500

Earnings after taxes                            $5,022,000            $6,081,750

Less: Preferred stock dividends               100,000                 100,000

Earnings to common shareholders      4,922,000              5,981,750

Less: Common stock dividends           2,008,800              2,432,700

Contribution to retained earnings      $2,913,200           $3,549,050

b) In Year 2, if Green Caterpillar has 5,000 shares of preferred stocks issued and outstanding, then each preferred share should expect to receive _ $20 _ in annual dividends.

-If Green Caterpillars has 400,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, then the firm's earnings per share (EPS) is expected to change from _ $12.31 _ in Year 1 to _ $14.95 _ in Year 2.

-Green Caterpillar's before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) value changed from _ $10,500,000 _ in Year 1 to _ $13,125,000_ in Year 2.

-It is _ wrong _ to say that Green Caterpillar's net inflows and outflows of cash at the end of Years 1 and 2 are equal to the company's annual contribution to retained earnings, $2,913,200 and $3,549,050, respectively. This is because _ not all_ of the items reported in the income statement involve payments and receipts of cash.

Explanation:

a) The preferred dividend per share = Preferred Dividends divided the number of preferred stock shares.

b) The EPS is the Earnings Per Share and is calculated as Net Income to Common Stockholders divided by the number of common stock shares outstanding.

The operating cost figure may not be based on a cash basis.  It could be accrued costs.  Similarly, the net sales may as well involve sales on credit, which do not involve cash flows.

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer: Decrease

Explanation:

According to the Law of  Demand, The quantity demanded for purchase of a commodity inversely varies with the price.

That is to say that "ceteris paribus" ( with everything being equal),When the prices of a particular good go higher, people will buy less of such commodity but will buy more, if the prices of the goods reduces.

We can say demand is elastic if quantity demanded for a commodity decreases with increase in price which will make people choose another  lower substitute good eg, detergent, ice cream

Also if  quantity demanded does not change much with increase in price , then it is referred to as Inelastic Demand  for example necessity commodity such as gasoline.
