Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

See Explanation Below

Explanation:

Formula:

Shares is calculated by multiplying common stock by duration (in years)

1.

Given

Number of common shares issued and outstanding at December 31, 2015 = 2,000,000

Shares issued as a result of a 10% stock dividend on September 30, 2016 = 200,000

Calculating the weighted average number of common stocks:

Jan 1 2016 to Sept 30,2016:

First, note that there are 9 months between these two dates

So, the number of shares is calculated as: Common Shares * Duration (in years)

Number of Shares = 2,000,000 * 9/12

Number of Shares = 1,500,000

Jan 1 2016 to Sept 30,2016 - Adjusted

Given that there is a share issued as a result of 10% Stock dividend

Number of shares is calculated as 1,500,000 + the additional 10%

Number of Shares = 1,5000,000 + 10% * 1,500,000

Number of Shares = 1,500,000 + 150,000

Number of Shares = 1,650,000

Oct 1, 2016 to Dec 31, 2016

There are 3 months between these two dates

Common Shares between these dates = 2,000,000 + 200,000 --; This is gotten from outstanding shares of December 31, 2016 (2,000,000) and shares issued as a result of 10% Stock dividend (200,000)

Duration = 3/12 --- (by converting month to years)

So, Number of Shares = Common Shares * Duration

Number of Shares = 2,200,000 * 3/12

Number of Shares = 550,000

Total = 1,650,000 + 550,000

Total = 2,200,000 Shares

2.

Jan 1, 2017 to Mar 31, 2017

We'll still make use of the formula used in (1) above

Common Stocks * Duration (in years)

Between these dates, there are three months and common stock =2,200,000 --- as calculated in (1) above

So, Number of shares = 2,200,000*3/12 = 550,000

March 1,2017 to Dec31,2017

Given

Number of common shares issued and outstanding at December 31, 2017 = 4,200,000

Here, Common stocks = 4,200,000

Duration = 9/12

Number of Shares = 4,200,000*9/12 = 3,150,000

Total Number of Shares = 550,000 + 3*150,000 = 3,700,000

3.

Given

Weighted number of shares for 2017 = 3,700,000 --- calculated in (3) above

Weighted average number of shares = 2 * Weighted number of shares for 2017

Weighted average number of shares = 2 * 3,700,000

Weighted average number of shares = 7,400,000

4.

Jan 1, 2017 to Mar 31,2017.

Duration between these dates = 3/12 years

Number of common shares issued and outstanding at December 31, 2017 = 4,200,000

Number of Shares = 4200,000*3/12 = 1,050,000

April 1, 2017 to Dec 31, 2017

Duration = 9/12 years

Common Stocks = 4,200,000 * 2

Number of Shares = 4200,000*2*9/12 = 6,300,000

Total = 1,050,000 + 6,300,000 = 7,350,000

Assessments of how a diversified company's subsidiaries compare in competitive strength should be based on such factors as:
larisa86 [58]

Complete Question:

Assessments of how a diversified company's subsidiaries compare in competitive strength should be based on such factors as;

A. vulnerability to seasonal and cyclical downturns, vulnerability to driving forces, and vulnerability to fluctuating interest rates and exchange rates.

B. relative market share, the ability to match or beat rivals on key product attributes, brand image and reputation, costs relative to competitors, and the ability to benefit from strategic fits with sister businesses.

C. the appeal of its strategy, the relative number of competitive capabilities, the number of products in each business's product line, which businesses have the highest/lowest market shares, and which businesses earn the highest/lowest profits before taxes.

D. the ability to hurdle barriers to entry, value chain attractiveness, and business risk.

E. cost reduction potential, customer satisfaction potential, and comparisons of annual cash flows from operations.

Answer:

B. relative market share, the ability to match or beat rivals on key product attributes, brand image and reputation, costs relative to competitors, and the ability to benefit from strategic fits with sister businesses.

Explanation:

Assessments of how a diversified company's subsidiaries compare in competitive strength should be based on such factors as;

1. Relative market share: this measures the subsidiaries position in a market in relation to its competitors in the same industry. It is a measure of the percentage of the market they control.

2. The ability to match or beat rivals on key product attributes: this is really important in the assessment of competitive strengths because it represents the level of acceptance of their products by consumers in comparison with rivals.

3. Brand image and reputation: if the subsidiary is well accepted by the consumers, it simply suggests that they have a good brand image and reputation in the market. A good brand image and reputation is competitive strength.

4. Costs relative to competitors: the higher the price a company is selling its products relative to rival companies, the lesser its sales would be because consumers would naturally go for cheaper products or lower prices.

5. The ability to benefit from strategic fits with sister businesses: companies should be able to achieve their set goals and objectives from opportunities presented by their sister company.

<em>Hence, the competitive strength of a diversified company and its subsidiaries should be assessed based on the aforementioned factors</em>.

Calistoga Produce estimates bad debt expense at 0.60% of credit sales. The company reported accounts receivable and allowance fo
liraira [26]

Answer: Calistoga's final balance in its allowance for uncollectible accounts at December 31, 2021 is $246.

Explanation: Calistoga Produce applies percentage of credit sales method to estimate its bad debt expense. So 0.60% of $331,000 (credit sales) = $1,986 and the balance in allowance for doubtful accounts is $1,520. The following journals would be recorded to adjust for the estimate:

Debit Bad debt expense                                      $466

Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts           $466

The $466 is the difference between $1,986 and $1,520

Now that the company writes off $1,740 accounts receivable, the following journal entries apply:

Debit Allowance for doubtful account              $1,740

Credit Accounts receivable                                $1,740

In summary, the allowance account movement is as follows:

Opening balance                                                 $1,520

Additional bad debt expense                                 466

Write-off during the year                                     (1,740)

Balance, end of the year                                       $246
