We can use the PV of perpetuity formula as the dividends will be paid for the infinite period of time. But we need to do a small adjustment for floatation cost. Following formula can be applied:

Cost of preferred stock = Annual Dividend / (Price x (1- flotation cost %))

= 8.50 / ( 97.50 x (1- 0.04))

= 8.50/93.60

= 9.08%

svetoff [14.1K]

A disadvantage of the fixed-period inventory system is that:
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": since there is no count of inventory during the review period, a stockout is possible.

Explanation:

The fixed-period inventory system, also known as a periodic inventory system, only updates the organization’s inventory balance when an actual physical count of the inventory is necessary. Most companies only carry out a physical inventory count once every quarter or year, being this the reason why this system is called "fixed-period". However, this could lead to a company stockout at an unexpected period when the count was not carried out yet.
