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%

The unrealized gains is $3500

Explanation:

Y stock has been disposed and its gains or losses are now realized, and it is not applicable to our computation now.

Unrealized gains or losses is the difference between purchase price of a stock and its current market price

Stock X=($43-$40)*1500=$4500 gains

Stock Z=($21-$22)*1000=-$1000 losses

So unrealized gains overall =$4500-$1000

     unrealized gains =$3500

Note that the price of stock X  has risen to $43 from initial $40 while that of company  Z has fallen to$21 from the initial $22.

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

b. They reflect the laws and regulations that affect social and economic behavior.

Explanation:

Morals are not universal and vary greatly depending on the underlying culture and religion. Even still in each civilization, there are many grey areas in the concept of morals. One thing that seems to be constant is that they reflect the laws and regulations that affect social and economic behavior. In this scenario, some developing countries believe that using children as a cheaper form of labor is fine since the children are getting paid and therefore, there are no laws prohibiting this action so people see it as morally correct. While other countries that see it as morally wrong have laws and regulations to prevent people from performing such actions. These laws and regulations are a form of dictating social and economic behavior by stating that it is morally wrong.

Assume that Maia spends all of her income on halvah (H) and pomegranates (P) and is purchasing the optimal consumption bundle. I
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

$4 (D.)

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that:

the price of halvah (MUH)= $12

the price of pomegranates (MUP)= ????

Next, we are also told that the optimal consumption ratio of MUH to MUP = 3

This means that the Mauginal Utility of halvah (H) to the marginal utility of pomegranates (P) = 3

MUH/MUP = 3

12/MUP = 3

MUP = \frac{12}{3} = 4

MUP = $4
