weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Ruby should go to college.

Explanation:

Ruby is currently 50 years old and earning $50,000 per year.

She would like to retire at 67.

She is thinking of going back to college, to complete a graduate degree.

After completing a graduate degree from the college she would earn $55,000.

The total cost of a graduate degree is $75,000.

Ruby still has 17 years to work and earn.

Her income will increase by $5,000 after college

The increase in income earned after college until retirement

= $5,000 $\times$ 17

= $85,000

Since the increase in income is greater than the cost of going to college, Ruby should go to college.

The common stock of Buffalo Inc. is currently selling at $113 per share. The directors wish to reduce the share price and increa

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Buffalo Inc.

a. Journal Entry:

No journal entry required except a memorandum to record the split.

b. Journal Entry:

Debit Stock Dividend (Retained Earnings) $84 million

Credit Stock Dividend Distributable $84 million

To record the declaration of a 100% stock dividend.

When issued:

Debit Stock Dividend Distributable $84 million

Credit Common Stock $84 million

To record the issuance of stock dividends.

2. Both methods increase the outstanding number of shares by 100%. However, with a stock split of 2-for-1, there is no journal entry except a memorandum record to state the split.

Secondly, with a stock split or 2-for-1, the market price is also halved. This does not happen with a stock dividend. The market forces will determine and correct the market price to an acceptable level. A stock dividend requires some accounting entries to be made.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Current market price of common stock per share = $113

Par value per share = $10

Book value per share = $68

Shares issued and outstanding = 8.40 million

a. The board votes a 2-for-l stock split:

Shares outstanding = 16.80 million shares

Market price = $56.50

Journal Entry:

No journal entry required except a memorandum to record the split. The value of common stock remains the same.

b. The board votes a 100% stock dividend:

Shares outstanding will increase to 16.80 million shares

Market price = $113 and level off based on demand and supply.

Journal Entry:

Stock Dividend (Retained Earnings) $84 million

Common Stock $84 million
