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
Answer:
4.18%
Explanation:
The formula for used for this calculation is given as
Future value = Present( Initial) value (1 + r)ⁿ
Where n = number of years of the investment = 13 years
Future value (Amount of the investment after 13 years)= $5,280
Present ( Initial) value (Amount of the investment before 13 years) = $3,100
r = rate of return
The formula for r is derived as:
r = (Future value/ Present (initial) value)¹/ⁿ- 1
r = ($5,280/$3,100)¹/¹³ - 1
r = 1.0418139573 - 1
r = 0.0418139573
r is always in percentage format
r = 0.0418139573 × 100
r= 4.18139573%
Approximately, the rate of return annually for 13 years = 4.18%
Answer:
$12,240
Explanation:
Social security Tax = $80,000 x 12.4%
Social security Tax = $9,920
Medicare Tax = $80,0000 x 2.9%
Medicare Tax = $2,320
Total tax = $9,920 + $2,320
Total tax = $12,240
Answer: AGREE
Explanation:
A Monopoly faces no competition and are the only sellers of the product they sell. If firms in an industry successfully engage in collusion, the resultant effect will definitely be not unlike a Monopoly because they will set prices as a single firm, control output as a single firm and essentially run the market as a single firm.
They will sell at a rate where the Marginal Revenue curve will be below the demand curve. This will mean a higher price than a competitive market which was probably the main incentive for collusion.
A recent example would be the collusion between BMW, Daimler and Volkswagen, to hinder technological progress in improving the quality of vehicle emissions in order to reduce the cost of production and maximize profits. Thankfully this was busted by the European Commission in 2019.
