Coronado Corporation

a) The preferred stock is noncumulative and nonparticipating:

Allocation       Preferred Stock                  Common Stock

of Dividends  

$87,500        $17,100 ($190,000 * 9%)     $70,400 ($87,500 - 17,100)

b) The preferred stock is cumulative and nonparticipating:

Allocation       Preferred Stock                     Common Stock

of Dividends  

$87,500        $51,300 ($190,000 * 9%)*3    $36,200 ($87,500 - 51,300)

c) The preferred stock is cumulative and participating

Allocation          Preferred Stock                    Common Stock

of Dividends  

$87,500           $48,944                                 $38,556

Amount due      $17,100 ($190,000 * 9%)

Participation     $31,844 = $31,844/$87,500 * 100 = 36.4%

Participation = $87,500 - ($17,100 + $38,556) = $31,844

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Outstanding capital stock:

9% Preferred stock = 1,900 shares of $100 par value ($190,000)

Common stock = 5,400 shares of $50 par value ($270,000)

Assuming retained earnings = $87,500 to be paid out in dividends.

No preference stock dividends were paid out during the last 2 years.

1) The preferred stock is noncumulative and nonparticipating:

Allocation       Preferred Stock                  Common Stock

of Dividends  

$87,500        $17,100 ($190,000 * 9%)     $70,400 ($87,500 - 17,100)

2) The preferred stock is cumulative and nonparticipating:

Allocation       Preferred Stock                     Common Stock

of Dividends  

$87,500        $51,300 ($190,000 * 9%)*3    $36,200 ($87,500 - 51,300)

3) The preferred stock is cumulative and participating

Allocation       Preferred Stock                  Common Stock

of Dividends  

$87,500        $48,944                                 $38,556

Amount due  $17,100 ($190,000 * 9%)

Participation $31,844 = $31,844/$87,500 * 100 = 36.4%

Participation = $87,500 - ($17,100 + $38,556) = $31,844

start by isolating the variable on one side by adding 43w^2 to both sides.   the equation will read:

25w^2+5=0

*subtract 5 from both sides*

25w^2=-5

*divide both sides by 25*

w^2=-1/5

*take the square root of both sides*

w=√(-1/5)

the square root of -1 is i.   the square root of 5 remains √5

the answer is i/√5.

hope this

b is the correct answer
