g has 25,000 shares of $10 par common stock outstanding and 12,500 shares of $100 par, 6.00% cumulative, nonparticipating preferred stock outstanding. Dividends have not been paid for the past two years. This year, a $350,000 dividend will be paid. What are the dividends per share payable to preferred and common, respectively
Answer:
Preferred stock dividend in arrears = (12500 shares * $100 par * 6%) * 2 years
Preferred stock dividend in arrears = $150,000
Dividend paid this year = $350,000.
Dividend paid to Preferred stockholders = $150,000 in arrears + $75,000 current period = $225,000.
Dividend paid to Common Stockholders = $350,000 - $225,000 = $125,000.
Dividend per share of preferred stock = $225,000 / 12500 shares
Dividend per share of preferred stock = $18
Dividend per share of common stock = $125,000 / 25000 shares
Dividend per share of common stock = $5
The Matching Principle Three methods of matching costs with revenue were described in the chapter: (a) directly match a specific form of revenue with a cost incurred in generating that revenue, (b) indirectly match a cost with the periods during which it will provide benefits or revenue, and (c) immediately recognize a cost incurred as an expense because no future benefits are expected. For each of the following costs, indicate how it is normally recognized as expense by indicating either (a), (b), or (c).

You have a $40,000 portfolio consisting of Intel, GE, and Con Edison. You put $23,200 in Intel, $8,000 in GE, and the rest in Con Edison. Intel, GE, and Con Edison have betas of 1.3, 1, and .8, respectively. What is your portfolio beta
Answer:
1.13
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What is your portfolio beta
Portfolio beta=(23200/40000)(1.3)+(8000/40000)(1)+[(40,000-23200+8000)/40000)*(0.8)]
Portfolio beta=(23200/40000)(1.3)+(8000/40000)(1)+(8800/40000)*(0.8)
Portfolio beta=0.754+0.2+0.176
Portfolio beta= 1.13
Therefore your portfolio beta is 1.13
Two countries, Alpha and Beta, have identical production possibilities frontiers. What is the outcome if Alpha produces at point A and Beta produces at point B?
Answer:
C.) Alpha consumes more than Beta today, but it will grow slower than Beta.
Explanation:
In the case when the two countries i.e. Alpha and beta have the same kind of production probabilities so the outcome when the alpha produced at point A while beta produced at point b is that the alpha consumers more than beta but the growth is slow as compared to beta because the beta is the point where there is a large capital but the less consumption. And, when there is a more capital goods so the growth if we compared with the alpha growth

5. the demand for jeans falls
6. the quantity demanded of jeans decreases
the quantity supplied of jeans increases
7. the supply of jeans increases
8, the supply of jeans increases
Explanation:
Only a change in the price of a good leads to a movement along the supply curve (demand curve) for that good. If price increases, there is a movement up along the supply curve and if prices decreases, there is a movement down along the supply curve. This is in line with the law of supply.
according to the law of supply, the higher the price, the higher the quantity supplied and the lower the price, the lower the quantity supplied.
Other factors other than changes in the price of the good leads to a shift of the supply curve. Such factors include :
A change in the number of suppliers
a change in the price of substitute goods
A change in the price of factors used in the production process
government regulation
If price increases, there is a movement down along the demand curve and if prices decreases, there is a movement up along the demand curve. This is in line with the law of demand.
According to the law of demand, the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded and the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded.
Other factors lead to a shift of the demand curve. they include :

None of this amount will be paid until the landfill has reached its capacity.
Which of the following is true for the Year 2 government-wide financial statements?
A. Expense will be $130,000 and liability will be $260,000.
B. Expense will be $140,000 and liability will be $250,000.
If this landfill is judged to be a proprietary fund, what liability will be reported at the end of the second year on fund financial statements?
a. $140,000
b. $0
c. $ 260,000
d. $ 250,000
If this landfill is judged to be a governmental fund, what liability will be reported at the end of the second year on fund financial statements?
a. $0
b. $140,000
c. $260,000
d. $250,000
Answer:
1- B. Expense will be $140,000 and liability will be $250,000
2- d. $250,000
3- d. $250,000
Explanation:
The expense will be $140,000 which is calculated by year 1 and year 2 percent filled. The calculation is as follows:
Year 2 liability : $1,000,000 * 25% = $250,000
Year 1 liability : $1,000,000 * 11% = $110,000
Year 2 expense = $140,000.
One-period pricing. Recall that since stocks have really long lives, in the video we first imagined owning a stock for only one period. In this simple, yet powerful scenario, today's stock price is the PV of next year's dividend and next year's stock price). The stock of Alydar Oil, an all-equity firm, is currently trading at $30 per share, after just having paid a $2.40 per share dividend. The market expects a dividend of $3.10 per share to be paid one year from today. If the equity cost of capital (same as discount rate for equity) is 12% for this firm, the expected ex-dividend price (the stock price after the dividend is paid next year) in one year (t = 1) should be closest to:_____.
a. $31.20.
b. $31.05.
c. $30.50.
d. $33.60.
Answer:
c. $30.50
Explanation:
As rightly said, the current stock price is the present value of a dividend in one year and the expected price at the end of the year discounted at the equity cost of capital which is 12% in this case
current share price=D1+P1/(1+cost of equity)^n
current share price=$30
D1=$3.10(dividend expected in one year)
P1=unknown(price in one year)
cost of equity=12%
n=investmet time horizon=1 year
$30=$3.10+P1/(1+12%)^1
$30*(1+12%)=$3.10+P1
$33.60=$3.10+P1
P1=$33.60-$3.10
P1=$30.50

Identify which statement is a characteristic of long-run for a firm.
A. Time period with at least one fixed element
B. Time period with the least control over constraints
C. Time period of determining quantity and cost that yields the greatest profit
D. Time period when constraints are most likely to be variable
Answer:
D. Time period when constraints are most likely to be variable
Explanation:
The long run period of a firm is when the factors of production such as land, labor , capital etc varies. In this period, a firm is flexible in its production decision due to the variability in the factors of production.
In the long run, a firm has time to build a bigger factory hence respond to changes in demand. Also, the price level(general), expectation, and contractual wages , all adjust to the prevailing economic condition in the long run period.
Answer:
D. Time period when constraints are most likely to be variable
Explanation:
The long run is a period of time in which all factors of production and costs are variable. In the long run, firms are able to adjust all costs, whereas in the short run firms are only able to influence prices through adjustments made to production levels.

What are the benefits of division of labor?The specialisation of duties and responsibilities within a production process is known as the division of labour. It has many advantages, including improved productivity and efficiency. Workers can become more skilled and proficient in their particular role by breaking down a complex task into smaller, more focused tasks, which leads to higher-quality output and quicker production times. Because mass production can reduce costs per unit, the division of labour also makes it easier to achieve economies of scale. Additionally, it enables more latitude in task distribution and workload modification. As workers concentrate on gaining expertise in their area of specialisation, it can also result in more innovation and specialisation. In general, the division of labour has led to significant advancements in modern industrial production.

John invested $10,000 into a money market account and took out $2,000 at the end of year 1. He found out at the end of 7 years that the rest of the money in the account grew to a sum of $29,860. What is the annual interest rate John earned in this investment
Answer: 20%
Explanation:
The annual interest rate that John earned in this investment will be calculated thus:
At the annual interest rate, the money that's invested will be equal to the money that's earned. Therefore,
10000 = 2000/[1+20%]¹ + 29860/[1+20%]^7
10000 = 2000/(1+0.2)¹ + 29860/(1+0.2)^7
10000 = 1666.67 + 8333.33
10000 = 10000
Therefore, the annual interest rate John earned in this investment is 20%.
The $1,000 face value ABC bond has a coupon rate of 10%, with interest paid annually, and matures in 3 years. If the bond is priced to yield 12%, what is the bond's value today
Answer:
Bond Price = $951.9633746 rounded off to $951.96
Explanation:
To calculate the quote/price of the bond today, which is the present value of the bond, we will use the formula for the price of the bond. As the bond is an annual bond, we will use the annual coupon payment, annual number of periods and annual YTM. The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.
Coupon Payment (C) = 1000 * 10% = $100
Total periods remaining (n) = 3
r or YTM = 12%
Bond Price = 100 * [( 1 - (1+0.12)^-3) / 0.12] + 1000 / (1+0.12)^3
Bond Price = $951.9633746 rounded off to $951.96

When rival firms compete aggressively by trying to attract competitors' customers, this might be an indication of: a. increasing economies of scale. b. slow industry growth. c. an industry with low exit barriers. d. high switching costs.
Answer:
b. slow industry growth.
Explanation:
Competitive advantage can be defined as conditions, factors or circumstances that allow a business firm (organization) to manufacture finished goods or services better and perhaps cheaper than other (rival) firms in the same industry. Thus, it's responsible for putting a business firm in a superior or more favorable position than rival firms.
This ultimately implies that, a competitive advantage has a significant impact on a business because it increases its level of sales, revenue generation and profit margin when compared to rival firms in the same industry.
Generally, when rival business firms compete aggressively by trying to attract competitors' customers, this might be an indication of slow industry growth.
In conclusion, the various companies or business firms are experiencing a low level of sales of their goods and services. As a result, they engage in activities that would attract potential customers and by extension their competitors' customers.
1. A company purchased the following units of an inventory during the year:
Beginning inventory 10 units at $55
First purchase 25 units at $60
Second purchase 30 units at $65
Third purchase 15 units at $70
They use the periodic inventory system. During the year, 50 units of the item were sold. Using FIFO, the value of ending inventory is which of the following?
a. $1,350.
b. $1,150.
c. $1,375.
d. $1,250.
Answer:
$2,025
Explanation:
The computation of the value of the ending inventory is shown below:
But before that first we have to calculate the ending inventory units which is
= Beginning inventory + first purchase units + second purchase units + third purchase units - sold units
= 10 units + 25 units + 30 units + 15 units - 50 units
= 30 units
Now the ending inventory is
= 15 units × $70 + 15 units × $65
= $1,050 + $975
= $2,025

= $2,170,250.
4. In 2022, the depreciation base of this asset is:
= $4,020,500
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
July 1, 2020: Cost of snowmaking equipment = $6,120,000
Estimated salvage value of the equipment = 255,000
Depreciable amount of the equipment = $5,865,000
Estimated useful life of the equipment = 5 years
Annual depreciation expense = $1,173,000 ($5,865,000/5)
Sum-of-the-Years'-Digits Method =15 (5+4+3+2+1)
Calculation of depreciation expense:
2020 = $977,500 (5/15 * $5,865,000)/2
2021 = $1,564,000 (4/15 * $5,865,000)
2020 2021
Equipment $6,120,000 $6,120,000
Less: Accumulated Depreciation 977,500 2,541,500
