Answer:

b. $530

Explanation:

As provided retained earnings opening balance = $475

Add net income for the year = $130

Balance = $605

Further dividend is paid, which reduces the balance of retained earnings = $75

Balance after paying dividends = $605 - $75 = $530

All the other information provided in question relates to common stock and has no relevance on retained earnings balance.

Therefore, balance of retained earnings at the end of period = $530

All of the following statements about the economic philosophy in Texas are true EXCEPT
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

The answer is: B) The median wage in Texas is much higher than the national average. THIS STATEMENT IS FALSE.

Explanation:

If you take the facts from the Census ACS 1 year survey, the median household income in Texas is $59,206 (2017 data) and a median hourly wage of $17,06 (2016 data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics).

If you compare those numbers with the national average, the US median household income is $60,336 (the national average is $1,130 higher than the Texas median household income). Historically the Texas median household income has been lower than the national average.

If we consider the median hourly wage in Texas of $17,06 (2016 data) and we compare to the national hourly wage of $17,81 (2016 data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics) we can clearly see it´s also lower. The top ten states with the highest median hourly wage are: Alaska, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Washington, Maryland, New York, New Jersey, California, Minnesota, Hawaii, with hourly wages ranging from $22.68 to $19.24

A company pays each of its two office employees each Friday at the rate of $100 per day each for a five-day week that begins on
MatroZZZ [7]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

Debiting salaries Expense $400 and Crediting Salaries payable $400.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given;

1 employees earns $ 100 a day

Therefore;

2 employees will earn $ 200 a day

The month ends on Tuesday, but the two employees works on Monday and Tuesday.

  • Therefore, the month-end adjusting entry to record will be the amount earned by the two employees on the two days.

Two employees for 2 days = $200/day × 2 days

                                             = $400

  • But, salary is an expense, and in the accounts an increase in expense account is debited.
  • According to the rule of double entry, an increase in salaries expense decreases the salaries payable. Therefore, we debit salaries expense account and credit salaries payable account.
  • Therefore, the month-end adjusting entry to record the salaries earned but unpaid would be;

    Debiting salaries Expense $400 and Crediting Salaries payable $400.

kow [346]

The portfolio beta would simply be the summation of the weighted average of each beta.

Where weighted average of each beta is calculated as:

Stock weighted average = Stock proportion * Individual beta

Therefore,

Stock A beta weighted average = 0.2 * 0.4 = 0.08

Stock B beta weighted average = 0.3 * 1.2 = 0.36

Stock C beta weighted average = 0.25 * 2.5 = 0.625

Stock D beta weighted average = 0.25 * 1.75 = 0.4375

The summation of all betas yield the overall portfolio beta:

Portfolio beta = 0.08 + 0.36 + 0.625 + 0.4375

<span>Portfolio beta = 1.5025 ~ 1.5</span>
