Sandhill Inc. was a small company started by four entrepreneurs a few years ago. They each initially invested $270,000 and sold $1.7 million in preferred shares to a wealthy private investor. The company did not earn much profit from its operations but was able to pay the promised annual dividend of $130,000 on the preferred shares. The company did successfully develop several patents, some of which it sold and some it still holds. The four founding shareholders are planning to sell the remaining patents and all other assets and wind up the company to allow them to move on to other ventures. A summary of the company's statement of financial position is as follows: SANDHILL INC. Statement of Financial Position as at April 30, 2024 Total assets Total liabilities Preferred shares Common shares Retained earnings Total liabilities and equity i. $3,088,000? ii. $5,977,000? $2,776,000? iii. $3,088,000 If assets sold for 80,000 How much will each group of shareholders receive on the windup if Sandhill is able to sell its assets for: 1,700,000 1,080,000 228,000 $3,088,000 Preferred shareholders' entitlement $ Common shareholders' entitlement $ (i) $3,088,000 $ $ (ii) $5,977,000 $ $ (iii) $2,776,000
