Answer:
$84,000
Explanation:
preference share dividend is at 5% on $100 par value. The number of preference shares is 12,000 shares ( non cumulative)
The year 2017 preference share dividend pay out is 5% of 100 multiplied by 12,000 = $60,000
Deduct $ 60,000 from $144,000 dividend declared in 2017 , the balance is common stockholders dividend.
144,000 minus 60,000 = $84,000
Non cumulative preference shares dividend are paid first for the year the company declares dividend. The dividend is not cumulative ( prior years dividend for which company did not declare dividend are forfeited).
The common stockholders are paid dividend after preference shares dividend are paid. The common stockholders bears the full risk of the business as seen above. In event of liquidation, they are the last to be settled from realised asset of the bankrupt company.
Answer:
34%
Explanation:
( ($1,452,000 - $958,320) ÷ $1,452,000 = 34% )
Answer:
total budgeted costs = $189,400
budgeted production = 1,000 units
standard rate = $189,400 / 1,000 = $189.40 per unit
total actual costs = $197,200
actual production = 1,120 units
actual rate = $197,200 / 1,120 = $176.07 per unit
- total fixed overhead variance = actual overhead costs - budgeted overhead costs = $197,200 - $189,400 = $7,800 unfavorable. The actual overhead expense was higher than the budgeted.
- controllable variance = (actual rate - standard rate) x actual units = ($176.07 - $189.40) x 1,120 units = -$14,929.60 favorable. The actual overhead rate was lower than the standard rate, that is why the variance is positive.
- volume variance = (standard activity - actual activity) x standard rate = (1,000 - 1,120) x $189.40 = -1,120 x $189.40 = -$212,128 favorable. More units where produced than budgeted, that is why the variance is positive.
