Answer:
The amount of dividends paid to common stockholders in 2021 $18000.
Explanation:
The cumulative preferred stock is the stock that accumulates dividends when the dividends are partially or not paid at all in a certain year. The dividends must be paid in the future.
The common stock holders are paid after the preferred stockholders are paid.
The preferred stock dividend per year = 400000 * 0.06 = $24000 per year
As the cash dividends paid in 2019 and 2020 are $20000 each,
The dividend outstanding on preferred stocks for 2019 is = 24000 - 20000 = $4000
Similarly, the dividends outstanding on preferred stocks for 2020 is = 24000 - 20000 = $4000
The total dividends outstanding at start of 2021 = 4000 + 4000 = $8000
Preferred dividend for 2021 = 24000
Total dividend on preferred stock = 24000 + 8000 = $32000
The amount of dividends that common stock holders will receive in 2021 = 50000 - 32000 = $18000
In my opinion, venturing into world of Arts could be a favorable path for a person highly interested in solitary, introverted work. Visual arts such as painting and photography (nature, macro-shoots, etc) could be better choices. Literature might interest you too. The art of words would allow you to express yourself without talking to animate objects. One could pick a pen or stare at his or her computer when indulging oneself in the ARTS.
You do not have to impress others, your masterpiece could do the talking for you.
Hope this helps. Have a nice day!
Answer: 14%
Explanation:
We can calculate this using the Gordon Growth Model which looks like this,
P = D1 / r - g
P is the current stock price
D1 is the next dividend
r is the rate of return or the cost of capital
g is the growth rate.
We have all those figures except the cost of capital so making r the subject of the formula we can solve for it. Doing that will make the formula,
r = D/ P + g
r = 1.55 / 22.10 + 0.07
r = 0.1401
r = 14%
14% is the equity cost of capital.

I would say it’s true because it does have some facts in it
