Answer:

$150,000

Explanation:

Jack will distribute 50,000 shares / 10 = 5,000 shares

to determine the amount by retained earnings should decrease we must multiply 5,000 times the market value on the sate of declaration = 5,000 shares x $30 = $150,000

Retained earnings accounts includes all the accumulated earnings after dividends have been distributed. Dividend distributions always lower retained earnings account since without any credit balance in that account, dividends cannot be distributed.

During December, Far West Services makes a $3,200 credit sale. The state sales tax rate is 6% and the local sales tax rate is 2.
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Dr Accounts receivable 3,472

Cr Sales 3,20

Cr Sales tax payable 272

Explanation:

Since $3,200 is the credit sale and the state sales tax rate is 6% while the local sales tax rate is 2.5% which means we have to calculate for 6% of 3,200 as well as 2.5% of 3,200 which is: Sales tax payable

6%×3,200=192

2.5%×3,200=80

192+80= 272

The last step is to Debit Accounts receivable with 3,472 (3,200+272) , Credit Sales 3,200 and Credit Sales tax payable with 272

Nelson Ovalles worked as a cable installer for Cox Rhode Island Telecom, LLC, under an agreement with a third party, M&amp;M Com
Illusion [34]

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

Ovalles was an M&M contractor to perform work assigned by M&M. As the question says, <em>"Cox had minimal contact with him and limited power to control the manner in which he performed his duties."</em>.  That is the main feature of a contractor, different from an employee who works directly for Cox. The liability is completely of M&M.

Use the following balance sheet and cash flow statement information to answer the questions below. Liquid assets: $10,000; home
Ilya [14]

Answer:

(a) Liquidity ratio  for individuals

basic liquidity ratio = cash assets / monthly expenses = $10,000 / $6,000 = 1.67

Depending on the maturity of the investment assets, the liquidity ratio could increase, but since the information is limited, we can only consider liquid assets. E.g. if the investment assets include bonds that mature in a very short term they should be included in this formula, but if they include bonds that mature in x number of years, then they aren't included.

(b) Asset-to-debt ratio :

generally the formula is debt to asset ratio = $175,500 / $330,000 = 0.53

but here we are asked to find asset to debt = $330,000 / $175,500 = 1.88

(c) Debt service-to-income ratio

debt service to income ratio = monthly payments / gross income = ($250 + $2,100) / $9,000 = $2,350 / $9,000 = 0.26

(d) Debt payments-to-disposable income ratio

debt payments to disposable income ratio = monthly payments / disposable income = ($250 + $2,100) / $6,800 = $2,350 / $6,800 = 0.35

A company's board of directors votes to declare a cash dividend of $.80 per share of common stock. The company has 16,000 shares
den301095 [7]

Answer:

$8,400

Explanation:

The computation of the total amount of the cash dividend is shown below:

= Outstanding number of shares × cash dividend per share

= 10,500 outstanding shares × $0.80

= $8,400

The cash dividend is computed only on outstanding shares i.e issues shares minus treasury shares

So, it will not be computed on authorized shares either on issued shares
