Answer:

Projected Increase in Retained Earnings = $16231.25

so correct option is a. $16231

Explanation:

given data

sales = $437,500

profit margin = 4.8 percent

dividend payout ratio = 30 %

to find out

projected increase in retained earnings

solution

we get here first Expected Profit that is express as

expected Profit = Sales × Profit Margin   .......................1

expected Profit = 437500 × 5.3%

expected Profit = $23187.50

and Dividends is here as

Dividends = Expected Profit × Dividend Payout Ratio   .................2

Dividends = 23187.50  × 30%

Dividends = $6956.25

Projected Increase in Retained Earnings will be

Projected Increase in Retained Earnings = expected Profit - Dividends   ........3

Projected Increase in Retained Earnings  = $23187.50 - $6956.25

Projected Increase in Retained Earnings = $16231.25

so correct option is a. $16231

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

The merchandise should be reported on the U.S. Company's December 31, 2020 balance sheet at:

b. $1,050

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

November 30, 2020 Inventory purchase = CHF1,000

Exchange rate on this date = $1.05/CHF

Inventory worth = $1.05 * CHF1,000 = $1,050

b) The inventory should be reported on December 31, 2020 at $1,050.  It does not need to be reported at a value above or below this.  Even, the debt owed to the Swiss supplier will be reported at this price.  It is when payment for the invoice is being made on February 1, 2021 that consideration will be given to the exchange rate at which payment is made.
