Answer: Preferred stockholders are paid before common stockholders in the event of bankruptcy. Common stockholders, as the residual owners of a corporation, would receive any monies remaining after bondholder and preferred stock claims are satisfied. Preferred dividends are paid before common stock dividends in the normal course of business. In the event that a preferred dividend is not paid, it accumulates and dividends in arrears must be paid before any common stock dividends can be declared. Common shareholders take the risk that they will not receive dividends. The magnitude of the cash flows from preferred is also known where it is not known for common stock.

Answer: The organized exchanges such as the New York Stock Exchange have a physical location and a trading floor where buyers and sellers of securities can meet face to face. An increasing percentage of NYSE and AMEX trades is, however, executed electronically. Nasdaq is an electronically linked network of traders that post bid and ask prices (the prices they are willing to pay or accept for securities) and the quantities they are willing to purchase or sell. There is no physical trading floor. Although companies trading on Nasdaq tend to be smaller and younger than those traded on the NYSE, Nasdaq listings do include some very large companies such as Microsoft and Apple. Diff: 2 AACSB: 6.

13) Distinguish between primary stock market transactions and secondary stock market transaction. Answer: When a company issues stock to the public for the first time, the event is known as an IPO or Initial Public Offering. Subsequent to the IPO, trading in the company's stock takes place on one of the major exchanges such as the NYSE or Nasdaq. In the great majority of these transactions, investors buy stock from other investors who wish to sell it, rather than directly from the company that issued it. Diff: 2 AACSB: 6.
