As head of Adita Inc., potential investors are asking questions about the company’s dividend payment history. The investors are also curious how dividend payments differed for common and preferred shareholders. To help answer their questions, the following Tableau Dashboard is provided. 1. Assume that preferred stock is cumulative and compute the amount of cash dividends paid in each of Years 1, 2, 3, and 4 for each of the two classes of shareholders. Also calculate the total cash dividends paid out to each class for Years 1, 2, 3, and 4 combined. 2. How should dividends in arrears be reported on Adita’s financial statements?

This exercise illustrates that poor quality can affect schedules and costs. a manufacturing process has 130 customer orders to fill. each order requires one component part that is purchased from a supplier. however, typically, 3% of the components are identified as defective, and the components can be assumed to be independent. (a) if the manufacturer stocks 130 components, what is the probability that the 130 orders can be filled without reordering components? (b) if the manufacturer stocks 132 components, what is the probability that the 130 orders can be filled without reordering components? (c) if the manufacturer stocks 135 components, what is the probability that the 130 orders can be filled without reordering components?
