Answer 1

question 5:

b.preferred shares $0.70 ordinary shares $2.43.

dividend per preferred share = 7%*$10 per value =>$0.70.

dividend on all preferred shares = $0.70*20,000 shares

=>$14,000.

so, remaining dividend to common share holders => 160,000 -14,000 =>$146,000.

dividend per share to common stock holders =$146,000/60,000

=>$2.43.

d.cash trust $900,000.

..........To Application $900,000..

amount received towards application ($0.60*1,500,000) =>900,000.
