Answer:
13.28%
Explanation:
return on stockholders' equity = net income after taxes and preferred stock dividends / average stockholders' equity
- net income = $1,429,000
- preferred stocks dividends = 8,000 stocks x $75 x 6% = $36,000
- average stockholders' equity = ($10,317,000 + $10,662,000) / 2 = $10,489,500
return on stockholders' equity = ($1,429,000 - $36,000) / $10,489,500 = 13.28%
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
The answer is C) $7,970.
Explanation:
We have 04 reconciling items as below:
- Outstanding checks $800: this amount was already recorded in the Cash account of the company once the check was written; thus, the Cash ending balance has already reflected this amount.
- Deposits in transit $700: this amount was already recorded in the Cash or Cash-equivalent account of the company once the deposit was made; thus, the Cash ending balance has already reflected this amount.
- Bank service charge $30: fees paid to banking activities and are deducted without informing to the company. Thus, this deduction in cash is not reflected in the Cash account.
-  NSF check $500: this was recorded as the increase in Cash account by the company once the check was written by the person/entity to the company. However, the writer's account balance was not sufficient to honor this check amount to the company; thus Cash Account at the end of the period should reduced by $500. Instead, this $500 may be recorded in Account Receivable account.
Thus, the adjusted cash balance = 8,500 - 30 - 500 = $7,970.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
If by Dark Ages, we mean the Middle Ages, then, one can safely say that business did more to bring the dark ages to an end and restore the world to civilization and progress.
The Middle Ages represented a decline in several areas, especially trade, when compared with classical antiquity (Ancient Greece and Rome). 
By the late Middle Ages, several cities, especially in Italy, had began to develop trade networks again, and a merchant class was emerging.
With time, more cities became trade hubs, and this prompted economic development. Businesses grew, science and technological progress increased, and in general terms, civilization advanced more quickly in a few centuries than in the past millenia.
