Answer:

a. $20,000

b. $180,000

Explanation:

Par value per preferred share = $8

Dividend rate = 5%

Dividend per preferred share = $8 * 5% = $0.40

Number of preferred shares = 50,000

a. Total dividend amount distributed to the preferred shareholders this year = 50,000 shares * $0.40 = $20,000

b. The total dividend amount distributed to the common shareholders this year = $200,000 - $20,000 = $180,000

Eduardwww [97]

Answer: $24,000

Explanation:

Under the defined contribution Keogh plan, Harvey is allowed to contribute the lesser amount of either $57,000 or 20% of his self-employed income from business.

20% of income is;

= 20% * 120,000

= $24,000

This is less than the maximum of $57,000 and so is the amount that Harvey can contribute to his retirement plan.

What would happen to the U.S. economy if all or most manufactures here made 80-85% of their own parts like SpaceX and Tesla?
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

The U.S economy won't fall, but it will have some problems.

Explanation:

Now,

If all  manufactures start making their own parts, the U.S Government wont have any customers to buy the resources needed to make a part. These Manufacturers will have to make mines and factories of their own to do this. It is unlikely that manufacturers will make factories or mines to make their own parts because it is going to be a huge project and its going to cost a lot of money which will be a lose-lose situation because both the U.S and the manufacturers are not going to benefit.

Percival Hygiene has $10 million invested in long-term corporate bonds. This bond portfolio's expected annual rate of return is
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Explanation:

a)We find the portfolio weights first. For a two security portfolio

sP^2 = x_1^2s_1^2 + 2x_1x_2s_1s_2r_1_2 + x_2^2s_2^2

(0.10)^2 = 0 + 0 + x_2^2(0.16)^2

 x2 = 0.625 and x1 = 0.375

Then

rp = x1r1 + x2r2

rp = (0.375 ´ 0.06) + (0.625 ´ 0.14)

  = 0.11

 = 11.0%

Hence, he can improve the expected rate of return without any change in the risk of the portfolio.

b)

The expected return is:

rp = x1r1 + x2r2

rp = (0.5 *´ 0.09) + (0.5 ´* 0.14)

= 0.115 = 11.5%

sP^2 = x_1^2s_1^2 + 2x_1x_2s_1s_2r_1_2 + x_2^2s_2^2

sP2 = (0.5)^2(0.10)^2 + 2*(0.5)(0.5)(0.10)(0.16)(0.10) + (0.5)^2(0.16)^2

sP2 = 0.0097

sP = 0.985 = 9.85%

Hence, he can never perform better by investing equal amount in bond portfolio and index fund. The expected return increases to 11.5% and standard deviation decreases to 9.85%.

A reserve price is a minimum price set by the auctioneer. If no bidder is willing to pay the reserve price, the item is unsold a
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Reserve price = $55

Expected revenue with a reserve price = $55

Expected revenue without a reserve price = $55

Explanation:

The auctioneer should set the reserve price siguiente:

Reserve price = ($30x0.5) + ($80x0.5) = $15 + $40 = $55

In the case of the expected revenue with the reserve price, only the bidder who has set a $80 value will pay the reservation fee, then the expected revenue will be the reserve fee of $55.

In the case of the expected revenue without the reserve price, both of the bidders will enter the auction for the item. Since the values are equally probable the expected profit without the reservation fee is equally $55.  

Hope this helps!
