Answer: $972,900
Explanation:
The cost of land consists of the actual purchase price, and all other expenses that are necessary to make the asset ready for its intended use. In terms of land, all these expenditures can include title fees, unpaid taxes from previous years only (i.e. not current taxes), and other expenses need to physically prepare the land for use. The current taxes figure of $4,600 is not included here, as it is only owed during the current year, therefore normal accounting rules for taxes will apply. This figure will thus be treated as a liability until it is paid. The back taxes were aqcuired when the asset was aqcuired, and thus form part of the cost.
Old buildings that were on the land, may need to be teared down so that land can be utilised. The costs used to demolish the building also forms part of the purchase price. On top of that, to fully prepare the land for use the land may need to be landscaped and leveled. All these costs contribute towards getting the land ready for use, and are thus included in the cost. Sales made on any item related to the land, during the process when the land was still being processed for its intended use, will reduce the cost of the asset, and deduct this figure. This figure will fall under sales, which is an income to the business. The full calculation of the cost is as follows:
Purchase price: $910,000
Title insurance: + $2,400
Unpaid property taxes: + $8,300
Cost of removing building: + $45,900
Sale of salvaged materials: - $4,000
Level the land: + $10,300
Cost of land: = $972,900

Answer:
the journal entry to record warranty expense is:
Dr Warranty expense 30,000
Cr Warranty liability 30,000
the journal entry to record actual expenses related to product warranties:
Dr Warranty liability 10,000
Cr Cash (or inventory, or wages payable) 10,000
Depending on what type of costs are incurred by the company, the account credited will vary, e.g. if units are replaced, then inventory must be credited, or if units are repaired and only labor is used, then wages payable or cash should be credited. Since the question doesn't give us a lot of details, I credited cash.
Answer:
$124,000 is the correct answer if we use 6% which is the correct question scenario. If we take 7% then its
Explanation:
The cash dividend announced is $160,000. Remember the first payment goes to preferred shareholders and then the amount left would be distributed among the ordinary shareholders.
The dividend share of Preferred shareholders = 6000 shares * $100 par value * 6% fixed rate = $36,000
After deducting this amount from the dividend announce will go to ordinary shareholders and is calculated as under:
Share of Dividend of ordinary shareholders = $160,000 - $36,000
= $124,000
Similarly if we use 7% fixed rate, then
The dividend share of Preferred shareholders = 6000 shares * $100 par value * 7% fixed rate = $42,000
After deducting this amount from the dividend announce will go to ordinary shareholders and is calculated as under:
Share of Dividend of ordinary shareholders = $160,000 - $42,000
= $124,000
