Answer:

a. preferred stock=$32000  ,  ordinary stock=$54000

b. preferred stock=$16000  ,   ordinary stock=$70000

Explanation:

Lets assume the company has two class of preferred stock, cumulative and non-cumulative. Cumulative preferred stock are shares whose fixed return (i.e fixed dividend) if not paid in one accounting period accumulates with forthcoming years' return and is paid in accumulation whereas non-cumulative preferred stock holders won't be paid for dividends not paid in a year.

Lets assume, Company has 2000 $100 par value 8% preferred stock and 5100 $50 par value ordinary shares.

1st case: CPS (Cumulative preferred stock) and OS (Ordinary stock.)

$86000 of retained earnings will be distributed as follows:

Preferred Stock dividend each year: 2000×$100×0.08

PS dividend=$16000 per year

Now accumulate for 2 years,

CPS dividend = $16000×2

<em>CPS dividend = $32000</em>

After preferred stock holders are paid, the remaining retained earnings are wholly distributed to ordinary stock holders.

Ordinary stock dividend = $86000 - $32000

<em>Ordinary stock dividend = $54000.</em>

2nd case: NCPS (Non-cumulative preferred stock) and OS (Ordinary stock).

$86000 of retained earnings will be distributed as follows:

NCPS dividend for the current year only = 2000×$100×0.08

<em>NCPS dividend for the current year only = $16000</em>

Now, the remaining is distributed to ordinary stock holders as follows:

Ordinary stock dividend = $86000 - $16000

<em>Ordinary stock dividend = $70000 </em>

scoray [572]

Answer:

A) Katie's maximum deduction is $200,000 x 20% = $40,000

But we must check that her deduction meets 3 requirements:

  1. cannot exceed 50% of her earned wages = $300,000 x 50% = $150,000 ✓ requirement met
  2. cannot exceed 25% of her earned wages + 2.5% of qualified property = ($300,000 x 25%) + ($150,000 x 2.5%) = $78,750 ✓ requirement met
  3. cannot exceed 20% of taxable income = $400,000 x 20% = $80,000 ✓ requirement met

B) Katie's maximum deduction is $400,000 x 20% = $80,000, but since her net business income is higher than her taxable income, she must calculate 20% x $350,000 (taxable income) = $70,000 (same as requirement 3 in previous answer)
