Answer:

D. Debit to Dividends Payable.

Explanation:

The first thing we have to keep in mind is that dividends are liabilities, that is, they represent cash outflows for the corporation. In the example, we can distinguish two moments: the declaration of a cash dividend and its effective distribution. Next, we will analyze them from an accounting point of view:

  • On July 15, 2014, Benson Company declared a cash dividend. In accounting terms, on that day the “Retained Earnings” account was debited. Remember that this account is the one that records the profits that the company has obtained to date. So, what was done was to <em>subtract</em> that part that is to be distributed among stockholders. This amount is then transferred to a current liability account called “Dividends Payable”. In this case, money was <em>added</em>, therefore, the account was credited.

  • On August 15 dividends were distributed. That day, the "Dividends Payable" account was debited, or, in other words, its money was <em>discounted</em>, because it is now in the hands of shareholders.

Answer:

                                                                     Dr.       Cr.

Work-in-Process Inventory - Dept. 2:        750

Work-in-Process Inventory—Dept. 1:                    750

Explanation:

All the cost incurred in the department 1 was added in the work in process account of this department. While transferring the product from one department to other the cost of work in process will also be transferred to next department to accumulate all costs associated with the product. At the end the finished goods will be carrying all the cost incurred to manufacture that product. Due debit nature of WIP account the cost in transferred to next department's account by just crediting the WIP of department 1 and debiting WIP of department 2. WIP of Department 1 will be 0 and WIP of department 2 will be $750.

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

A production possibility curve shows the maximum possible combination of two goods that can be produced using all the available resources and state of technology.

An increase in economic growth causes the production possibility curve to shift to the right. The faster the economic growth the more the economy will be able to produce. So the farther the production possibilities curve will shift out.
