Explanation:
Dividends are initially declared before they are paid to the respective shareholders. So it is important to first record the journal at the <em>declaration date</em> of the dividend, then the <em>payment date</em> of the dividend as shown above.
Answer:
D) all of the above
Explanation:
First find the present value for each alternative using PV of perpetual cashflow formula;
PV = CF / rate
CF = 50
If rate= 5%;
PV = 50/0.05 = $1,000
If rate = 2%;
PV = 50/0.02 = $2,500
With these two calculations, we see that;
-the bond price increased by $1,500
-you could sell this bond at a capital gain, meaning you can sell it a higher price that what you bought it for.
-at an interest rate of 2%, the speculative demand for money would increase
Hence , all these choices are correct!
Answer:
If a company pays more in dividends than it generates in net income, its retained earnings as reported on the balance sheet will decline from the previous year's balance.
Explanation:
The dividend is shown while preparing the retained earning statement. So, it does not affect the net income.
The highly liquid marketable securities does not show a decline in the current assets
If the long term bonds are issued to purchase fixed assets it would show under the long term liabilities and the long term assets rather than the current assets and the current liabilities
Account receivable are reported in the current assets rather than the current liabilities
We know that
The ending balance of retained earning = Beginning balance of retained earnings + net income - dividend paid
If the dividend amount is more than the net income so the ending balance of retained earning will decline than its beginning year balance.
