The outstanding capital stock of Coronado Corporation consists of 1,900 shares of $100 par value, 9% preferred, and 5,400 shares of $50 par value common. Assuming that the company has retained earnings of $87,500, all of which is to be paid out in dividends, and that preferred dividends were not paid during the 2 years preceding the current year, state how much each class of stock should receive under each of the following conditions.

a. The preferred stock is noncumulative and nonparticipating.
b. The preferred stock is cumulative and nonparticipating.
c. The preferred stock is cumulative and participating.

Answer:

preferred stock dividends = 1,900 x $100 x 9% = $17,100

common stocks = 5,400 stocks

a) distribution of dividends:

preferred stocks = $17,100

common stocks = $70,400

b) distribution of dividends:

preferred stocks = $17,100 x 3 = $51,300

common stocks = $36,200

c) distribution of dividends:

preferred stocks = $51,300 + (1,900/7,300 x $19,100) = $56,271

common stocks = $17,100 + (5,400/7,300 x $19,100) = $29,429

You are the General Manager of a US owned plant located in Northern Mexico. The firm manufactures semiconductors and uses temporary employees from the local area to fulfill production labor requirements. Each quarter employees are hired and released depending upon production requirements and needs. The firm has a maximum storage capacity of 1,000,000 semiconductors. Agreements with the Mexican Government require that at least 325 workers must be on the payroll each quarter. There are currently 375 employees on the payroll and 120,000 semiconductors in storage. Sales forecast provided by the marketing department are estimated as follows for the upcoming year:


QUARTER PRODUCTION DAYS PREDICTED SALES FORECAST
First 59 940,000
Second 62 1,215,000
Third 55 860,000
Fourth 58 430,000

Inventory holding cost are $.25 per semiconductor per quarter. The holding cost applies to excess inventory after demand is fulfilled. Thus, assume inventory produced in the quarter to fulfill demand in that quarter is not subjected to holding cost.

This production plan must indicate the amount of inventory to produce, store and the amount of workers to hire and release each quarter. Use LP to determine a solution for this problem.

Tullius Corporation has received a request for a special order of 8,600 units of product C64 for $45.50 each. The normal selling price of this product is $50.60 each, but the units would need to be modified slightly for the customer. The normal unit product cost of product C64 is computed as follows:
Direct materials $ 16.30
Direct labor 5.60
Variable manufacturing overhead 2.80
Fixed manufacturing overhead 5.70
Unit product cost $ 30.40
Direct labor is a variable cost. The special order would have no effect on the company's total fixed manufacturing overhead costs. The customer would like some modifications made to product C64 that would increase the variable costs by $5.20 per unit and that would require a one-time investment of $45,000 in special molds that would have no salvage value. This special order would have no effect on the company's other sales. The company has ample spare capacity for producing the special order.
Required: Determine the effect on the company's total net operating income of accepting the special order.

The state of Oregon's wine industry specializes in the production of Pinot Noir wine, a type of red wine. Oregon's Pinot Noir is very similar to wines made in Santa Barbara and the Burgundy region of France. Oregon's Pinot Noir is also known to pair well with lamb, that is, many people choose to drink Pinot Noir while eating lamb.

For many years, states levy a special sales tax on wine often called a "sin tax". The reasoning behind these special sales taxes is that wine consumption can lead to particular social costs such as drunk driving, violence, etc.

However, many medical studies have demonstrated that moderate consumption of red wine can lower the risks for many diseases such as coronary heart disease. Thus, there are social benefits as well.

Suppose that states, in recognition of some of the benefits to wine consumption, decide to decrease the sales tax on Oregon Pinot Noir. What effect will this have on consumer surplus, producer surplus and deadweight loss.
A. Consumer surplus increases, producer surplus increases, the deadweight loss decreases.
B. Consumer surplus decreases, producer surplus decreases, the deadweight loss decreases.
C. Consumer surplus decreases, producer surplus increases, the deadweight loss is unchanged.
D. Consumer surplus increases, producer surplus increases, the deadweight loss increases.
