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>

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is Spot market.

Explanation:

The spot market or spot market is one in which both the transaction and the settlement of an operation coincide on the same date. Although it is considered cash market when delivery occurs up to a maximum of 2 days later.

In spot markets, transactions are usually settled within a day or two after the date of purchase / sale. This is what is understood as a settlement in D + 1 or D + 2. The transactions are also closed at the current price on the asset in question that exists at the time of the transaction. This is one of the main differences between the cash market and the futures market.

A decrease in net taxes (select one):
icang [17]

Answer:

C, Raises aggregate expenditure by raising liable income, thereby increasing consumption.

Explanation:

Tax is a very important financial tool of any governmet to ensure its smooth running.

Tax can either be increased or decreased and each of these acts have their effects on the the counrty and on its people. For the purpose of this question, i will be sticking to tax decrease.

Tax decrease as the name implies is the reduction of taxes paid by individuals to the government from their taxable incomes.

When tax is reduced, there is a little more money for the people to spend and as such this affects the demand, consumption (of goods) as well as the gross domestic profit; GDP, of the country.

When the people have more money to spend, there is an increase in things they buy, wear, do, etc and so production in that country becomes high.

Tax decrease is most effective in a situations where there is high level of unemployment and slow paced economies.

cheers.

Consider an economy described by the following equations:
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

a. exchange rate = 1

b. exchange rate = 1.5

Explanation:

(a)  National Saving = Private saving + public saving

Private saving = Y - C - T

=> Private saving = 5000 - (250 + 0.75(Y – T)) - 1000

=> Private saving = 5000 - (250 + 0.75(5000 – 1000)) - 1000 = 750

Public saving = T - G = 1000 - 1000 = 0

National saving = 750 + 0

= 750

Investment = 1000 - 50r = 1000 - 50*5

= 750

Y = C + I + G + NX

Trade Balance = Y - C - G - I = 5000 - (250 + 0.75(5000 – 1000)) - 1000 - 750 = 0

Thus Trade Balance = 0

NX = 0 => NX = 500 – 500e = 0

=> e = 1

Thus exchange rate = 1

(b)

National Saving = Private saving + public saving

Private saving = Y - C - T

=> Private saving = 5000 - (250 + 0.75(Y – T)) - 1000

=> Private saving = 5000 - (250 + 0.75(5000 – 1000)) - 1000 = 750

Public saving = T - G = 1000 - 1250 = -250

National saving = 750 - 250

= 500

Investment = 1000 - 50r = 1000 - 50*5

= 750

Y = C + I + G + NX

Trade Balance = Y - C - G - I = 5000 - (250 + 0.75(5000 – 1000)) - 1250 - 750 = -250

Thus Trade Balance = -250

NX = -250 => NX = 500 – 500e = -250

=> e = 750/500 = 1.5

Thus exchange rate = 1.5
