Answer:

The outlook for the economy and the markets is for an improvement.

Explanation:

p/e ratio = price / earning

the higher the equity, the lower the ratio

If the p/e ratio is expected to be higher, it means that the equity would have to be lower this year than next year .

Answer:

The amount of dividends paid to common stockholders in 2021 $18000.

Explanation:

The cumulative preferred stock is the stock that accumulates dividends when the dividends are partially or not paid at all in a certain year. The dividends must be paid in the future.

The common stock holders are paid after the preferred stockholders are paid.

The preferred stock dividend per year = 400000 * 0.06 = $24000 per year

As the cash dividends paid in 2019 and 2020 are $20000 each,

The dividend outstanding on preferred stocks for 2019 is = 24000 - 20000 = $4000

Similarly, the dividends outstanding on preferred stocks for 2020 is = 24000 - 20000 = $4000

The total dividends outstanding at start of 2021 = 4000 + 4000 = $8000

Preferred dividend for 2021 = 24000

Total dividend on preferred stock = 24000 + 8000 = $32000

The amount of dividends that common stock holders will receive in 2021 = 50000 - 32000 = $18000
