Not paying attention to the road, listening to loud music (distracting), and TEXTING WHILE DRIVING. That is one of the leading causes of death.
Answer: $23.63 million
Explanation:
First and foremost, we can calculate the quarterly common stockholder dividend which will be:
= $0.25 × 1 Million
= $0.25 million
Then, the annual dividend to the common stockholders will be:
= $0.25 million × 4
= $1 million
The quarterly preferred stockholder dividend will be calculated as:
= $0.50 × 0.50 Million
= $0.25 million
We would then multiply $0.25 million by 4 to get the annual dividend attributable to the preferred stockholders which will be:
= $0.25 million × 4
= $1 Million
Total Dividend would then be:
= Annual dividend to common stockholders + Annual dividend to preferred stockholder
= $1 Million + $1 Million
= $2 Million
The value of the retained earnings balance at the end of the year will then be:
= Retained Earnings at the beginning of the year + Net Income – Dividend
= $23.45 + $2.18 - $2.00
= $23.63 million
Answer: B. The firm would install the filter at a cost of $ 300,000.
Explanation:
If the community owns the property rights, they would be able to demand that the firm pay the external cost of $500,000 per year.
If on the other hand the company installed a filter, it would cost them $300,000 but then they would not have to pay the community the $500,000.
The lower cost option would be to install the filter for $300,000 which is what the firm would do.
