As part of the process, the HR department's first step should be to identify that the sales representatives need technical training. It was said in the statement above that most of the new workers have a poor performance although they have a vast experience in sales. Most probably, it would be because they are unfamiliar with the products of the said company and they would lack the technical knowledge needed to do their job well. As an HR staff, you should be able to see that these employees would need some kind of training and education about the products of the company.
Answer: In year three the preferred stockholders would receive $7,000 and the common stockholders would receive $25,000.
Explanation: Preferred stockholders are always paid before common stockholders. Since this stock in cumulative it means that when there is not enough income in one year to pay the preferred stock then the company needs to pay them when they have the money in the future.
In this case the preferred stock is 5% of $100 par value and is cumulative. This means that every year the company needs to pay 5% times $100 par value on each stock, and there is 1,000 shares, so the total is $5,000 in preferred stock dividends.
In year one and two they did not declare enough dividends to pay this full amount. In year one they declared $2,000 and year two they declared $6,000. At the end of year two they should have received $10,000, but only received $8,000. In year three they need to pay the preferred stockholders the $2,000 that are in arrears, plus the $5,000 for year three, for a total of $7,000. Since there was $32,000 in dividends declared and $7,000 is going to the preferred stockholders, it means that there is $25,000 left for the common stockholders. $25,000/10,000 shares equals $2.50 dividend per share.
Answer:
Stone Foods produces the majority of its cheese products in its U.S. based dairy division at a total outlay cost of $6.00 per unit. A large portion of the finished product is sold to Division B where it is packaged and sold overseas under a different label. The tax rate in Division B's country is higher than the U.S. tax rate. Assume the company desires to minimize the overall tax impact of the transfer (i) what type of relative pre-tax income should each division desire to achieve as a result of the transfer and (ii) what type of transfer price would accomplish your answer to (i).
Dairy Division Income Division B Income Transfer Price
.
Option "D" is the correct answer - High Low High.
Explanation:
Since in Division B, the tax rate is higher than the tax rate in US-based dairy division. Therefore to minimize the impact of the overall tax, transfer price from dairy division should be high to Division B so that the dairy division income would be higher. and the income of Division B would be lower.
Hence option "D" is the correct answer.
Answer:
Dividends are fixed. ⇒ Consistent with Debt
Fixed dividends makes preferred shares consistent with debt because debt repayments are made in equal payments as well.
Usually has no specified maturity date ⇒ Consistent with Equity.
Equity has no set maturity date unlike debt and preferred stock has no maturity date either so is much like equity in this regard.
Cost of preferred stock.
Preferred stock is like a perpetuity. The cost of preferred stock is therefore:
= Constant dividend / Price of stock
= 13 / 130.45
= 9.97%
= 10%
