Answer: Debit Petty cash $408; Credit Cash $408.
Explanation: Petty cash is a small amount of fund set aside for immediate or urgent minor expenses. In most organizations, there is a limit to the petty cash amount that a business unit can have. And someone is always saddled with the responsibility of managing the fund. It has its business rule in the sense that the amount should not be withdrawn beyond zero balance to throw it into debit.
In the instance of the question, the petty cash is $460 and within September, total expenses of $316 were incurred and paid for, leaving a balance of $144. However, the accountant determines that this cash should be increased by $92 on 1 October, so reimbursement to the fund would be the amount already spent ($316) and the proposed increment ($92), making $408.
Answer:
Yes, Dealer could collect damages from GM because basically GM breached the contract. Any time a contract is breached, the non-breaching party can sue. But the real question here is what amount could the court assign to Dealer as compensation for damages incurred. If you want to rephrase this question, it would be: What damages did Dealer suffer due to GM's breach.
If the damages are not significant, then the court will probably assign some amount for nominal damages. To be honest, the greatest expenses here are actually the legal costs of the lawsuit. Unless Dealer can prove that assigning the contract actually hurt them (which I doubt), then the court will assign a small amount. Sometimes nominal damages can be very small and mostly symbolic, e.g. $1.
Answer:
The market rate of return on the stock is 12.55%
Explanation:
Computing the market rate of return on the stock is as:
Selling price of common stock = Expected price per share / (Rate of return [R] - Dividend)
where
Selling price of common stock is $26.46
Expected price per share is $2.00 per share
Dividend is 5.0%
Putting the values above:
$26.46 = $2.0 / (R - 5%)
$26.46 = $2.0 / (R - 0.05)
R - 0.05 = $2.0 / $26.46
R - 0.05 = 0.0755
R = 0.0755 + 0.05
Rate of return = 0.1255 or 12.55%

Explanation:
Rules specify that contingent liabilities should be recorded in the accounts when it is probable that the future event will occur and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. This means that a loss would be recorded (debit) and a liability established (credit) in advance of the settlement.
