Answer:
The answer is $2.8
Explanation:
Earnings Per Share(EPS) is the part of company's earnings that goes to each common share owner.
It is calculated as net income minus preferred dividend(if any) / weighted-average common shares outstanding.
Net income equals $728,000
Weighted-average common shares outstanding equals 260,000 shares
Therefore, basic earning per share is
$728,000 /260,000
= $2.8
The banking panic of 1907 and the resulting cash shortage led to the formation of the Comptroller of the Currency.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), established by National Currency Act of 1863 serves to supervise, regulate and charter all national banks, thrift institutions and all the other federally licensed branches in US. The current Comptroller of the Currency is Joseph Otting.
The banking panic of 1907 has been a main motivation in creating the 3rd central banking system in 1907–1913. This was initiated by failed speculation that led to bankruptcy of 2 brokerage firms.
The public started to panic that the trust and banking industries were experiencing liquidity crunches and had the currencies only to meet short-term or immediate obligations. This caused bank runs and set off the financial panic of 1907 nationwide and it lasted for months.
Answer:
Debit: Salaries and wages expense $25,056
Credit: Salaries and wages payable $25,056
<em>(To recognize the salaries and wages payable at year-end)</em>
Explanation:
Merando Industries employs a 5-day workweek - this means $41,760 normal weekly wages can be divided by 5 to arrive at the daily workweek wages, which is $41,760 / 5 = $8,352.
If the fiscal year-end is a Wednesday, the company has to recognize a salaries and wages payable of $25,056 due to the following:
- the workweek remains 2 weekdays to complete
- the company pays at the completion of the 5-day workweek
- there is no need to recognize the remaining 2 days next year as salaries and wages payable since the employer may not have control over the employees - they may decide the exit the company
So, the amount to be recognized will be $8,352 x 3 = $25,056.

Bad debt expense Debit = $17,600
Allowance for Doubtful Account Credit = $17,600
To record the bad debt expense
Calculation: Bad debt expense = $250,000 × 8% = $20,000. However, we cannot take this amount because Allowance for Doubtful Account is a positive contra entry, which has a $2,400 credit balance. Therefore, we have to deduct $2,400 from $20,000 to get the actual bad debt expense.
