ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL ENGINEERING - EXAMPLE 34.34 : A biochemical engineering company has stock P = 20,000 shares of M % preferred stock of Q = $100 par and N number of shares of $20 par common stock. In year 1 : $10,000 is distributed as dividend. In year 2 : $25,000 is distributed as dividend. Let (Total Dividend) = (Dividend for Preferred Stock) + (Dividend for Common Stock). (a) In year 1, calculate the amount distributed as dividend for preferred stock, when no dividend was distributed for common stock. (b) In year 2, the amount distributed for common stock was $5000. Find the values of M and N, when the dividend per share for common stock is $0.05.

ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL ENGINEERING - ANSWER 34.34 : (a) (Dividend for Preferred Stock) = (Total Dividend) - (Dividend for Common Stock) = $10,000 - 0 = $10,000. (b) N = (Dividend for Common Stock) / (Dividend Per Share for Common Stock) = ($5000) / ($0.05) = 100,000. (Dividend for Preferred Stock) = (Total Dividend) - (Dividend for Common Stock) = $25,000 - $5,000 = $20,000 = PQ (M / 100). Then M = (20,000)(100) / PQ = (2,000,000) / [ (20,000)(100) ] = 1. Finally M = 1, N = 100,000. The answer is given by Kang Chuen Tat; PO Box 6263, Dandenong, Victoria VIC 3175, Australia; SMS +61405421706; chuentat@hotmail.com; http://kangchuentat.wordpress.com.

X is strong but has a very low density (1% of traditional earth materials.) and hence light weight. It is a recyclable material. The compression behaviour of X is strain rate dependent. Higher strain rates result in higher initial modulus and higher compression strength. It can also withstand unlimited number of cycling loading provided the repetitive loads are kept below 80% of the compressive strength. The internal structure of the material includes air-traps which make it poor heat conductor. X is non- biodegradable and chemically inert in both soil and water. Most acids and their water solutions do not attack it; however strong oxidizing acids do. Solvents which attack X include esters, ketones, ethers, aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons and their emulsions, among others. It does not support bacterial/fungal growth as well .It also has significant acoustic properties and effectively reduces the transmission of airborne sound. X is combustible and should not be exposed to open flame or other ignition sources. Combustion products are carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, water and soot. Long-term exposure to sunlight causes yellowing and a slight embrittlement of the surface due to ultraviolet light. X is able to withstand the rigours of temperature cycling, assuring long-term performance.
