Answer:
$57,600
Explanation:
The computation of the total amount paid to preferred shareholders are shown below:
= Number of shares for preferred stock × par value × dividend rate × number of years
= 1,200 shares × $100 × 12% × 4 years
= $57,600
In case of cumulative, the number of years would be four years for dividend paid

Answer:
Explanation:
Productivity per unput dollar=Fees charged from clients/total cost to firm
There are 3 options:
1. Using current software:
Av time=40 min
Researcher's cost=$2 a min
Total cost=40*2=80
Productivity per dollar input=Fees charged from clients/total cost to firm= 400/80=$5
2.
Using company A's software
Av time=30min
Cost of reducing av time=$3.5
Researcher's cost=$2
Total =30*2+3.5=63.50
Productivity per dollar input=400/63.5=6.3
3.
Using company B's software
Av time = 28 min
Cost of reducing av time=$3.6
Researcher's cost=$2
Total cost=28*2+3.6=59.6
Productivity per dollar input=400/59.6=$6.71
Answer - Using company B's software
Answer:
$1,300,000
Explanation:
The computation of the total amount included in the translated balance sheet is shown below:
= Account receivable at current rate + account receivable, long term at current rate + inventories at current rate + goodwill at current rate
= $600,000 + $300000 + $180,000 + $220,000
= $1,300,000
We recorded at the current rate or lower value of current rate or historical rate but the goodwill is recorded at current rate
Answer:
$262,900
Explanation:
Net purchases = Purchases - Purchase return and allowances
Net purchases = 269500 - 14500
Net purchases = $255000
Cost of goods available for sale = Beginning Inventory + Net Purchases
Cost of goods available for sale = 45300 + 255000
Cost of goods available for sale = $300300
Cost of Goods sold = Cost of goods available for sale - Ending inventory
Cost of Goods sold = 300300 - 37400
Cost of Goods sold = $262,900
So, Coronado's cost of goods sold under a periodic inventory system is $262,900.
