Answer:

c) $7200

Explanation:

Preference dividends have preference when it comes to payment of dividends.

This means that we pay the Preference Stock holders their dividend (which is fixed) and there after the remainder is paid up to the Common Stockholders

Preference dividend = 900 shares x $100 x 4 % =  $3600

When Preference Stock is Cumulative, it means that all previous dividends in arrears have to be paid up before any current year distributions are made.

<u>2018</u>

Cumulative Preference dividend = $3600 (2017) + $3600 (2018) = $7200

therefore,

Dividends in arrears at December 31, 2018 total $7200

OverLord2011 [107]

Carla Vista Diesel owns the Fredonia Barber Shop. He employs 5 barbers and pays each a base rate of $1,480 per month. One of the
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

a). Total fixed costs per month=$9,310

Total variable cost per haircut=$28.10

b). Break-even point=1,900 haircuts

Break-even sales=11×1,900=$20,900

c). Net income=$2,548 profit

Explanation:

a)

Variable costs depend on the level of output. They can be calculated as follows;

Total variable cost per haircut=Commission per haircut+supplies per hair cut+utilities per hair cut

where;

Commission per haircut=$5.50=$5.50

Barber supplies per hair cut=$0.36

utilities per hair cut=$0.24

replacing;

Total variable cost per haircut=5.50+0.36+0.24=$6.10

Fixed costs do not depend on the level of output. They can be calculated as follows;

Total fixed costs per month=base rate per month+manager extra salary per month+advertising per month+rent per month+utilities per month+magazines per month

where;

base rate per month=1,480×5=$7,400

manager extra salary per month=510×1=$510

advertising per month=$220

rent per month=$980

utilities per month=$180

magazines per month=$20

replacing;

Total fixed costs per month=7,400+510+220+980+180+20=$9,310

Total fixed costs per month=$9,310

Total variable cost per haircut=$6.10

b). Break-even point is the point where the cost of goods sold is the same as the amount received in sales;

Cost of goods sold=Fixed costs+total variable costs

where;

Fixed costs=$9,310 per month

Total variable costs=variable cost per haircut×number of haircuts=6.10×n=$6.1 n

replacing;

Cost of goods sold=6.1 n+9,310... equation 1

Total sales=cost per haircut×number of haircuts (n)=11×n=11 n

Total sales=11 n... equation 2

Equate equation 1 and 2

6.1 n+9,310=11 n

11 n-6.1 n=9,310

4.9 n=9,310

n=9,310/4.9=1,900

n=1,900

Break-even point=1,900 haircuts

Break-even sales=11×1,900=$20,900

c). Determine net income

Net income=Revenue-expenses

where;

revenue=11×2,420=$26,620

expenses=(6.1×2,420)+9,310=14,762+9,310=$24,072

replacing;

Net income=26,620-24,072=$2,548

Net income=$2,548
