Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

2018

Preferred Dividend = $54,000

Common Stockholders = $9,000

2019

Preferred Dividend arrears =$54,000

Common Stockholders = $0

2020

Preferred Dividend = $54,000

Common Stockholders = $270,000

Explanation:

Preferred stockholders has an advantage that they are paid first when there is any dividend is announced. The residual dividend will be divided into the common stockholders. Any prior years due dividend and current years dividend associated with preferred share will be paid first.

As per given data

Preferred shares = 18,000 x $50 = $900,000

Preferred Dividend = $900,000 x 6% = $54,000

2018

Dividend Declared = $63,000

Dividend Allocated to Common Stockholders = Dividend Declared - Preferred Dividend = $63,000 - $54,000 = $9,000

2019

Dividend Declared = $0

Preferred Dividend Arrears = $54,000

2020

Dividend Declared = $378,000

Preferred Dividend Arrears = $54,000

Dividend Allocated to Common Stockholders = Dividend Declared - Preferred Dividend - Preferred Dividend Arrears = $378,000 - $54,000 - $54,000 = $270,000

When the price of candy bars is $1.00, the quantity demanded is 500 per day. When the price falls to $0.80, the quantity demande

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

The demand for candy bars is inelastic

Explanation:

The midpoint rule calculate the price elasticity of demand as percentage change in quantity divided by the percentage change in price:

<u>% change in quantity </u>

$\frac{Q_2-Q_1}{ \frac{Q_2 + Q_1}{2} } \times 100$

The quantity demanded increased from 500 to 600. We have

$Q_1 = 500 \: and \: Q_2 = 600$

$\implies \frac{600 - 500}{ \frac{600 + 500}{2} } \times 100 \\ = \frac{100}{ \frac{1100}{2} } \\ = \frac{100}{550} \\ = \frac{2}{11}$

<u>% change in price</u>

$\frac{P_2-P_1}{ \frac{P_2 + P_1}{2} } \times 100$

The price changed from 1 dollar to 0.8 dollars.

$\frac{0.8 - 1}{ \frac{0.8 + 1}{2} } = - \frac{2}{9}$

Price elasticity if demand is

$\frac{ \frac{2}{11} \%}{ - \frac{2}{9} \%} = - \frac{9}{11} = - 0.82$

The negative sign tells us that there is an inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded.

Since 0.82 is less than 1, the demand for candy bars is inelastic
