Answer:
a. $8.33
$1.95
b.$136,500
Explanation:
The computation of earnings per share and the common dividends per share is shown below:-
a. Earning per share = Earnings Available to Common Stockholders ÷ Number of Shares of Common Stock Outstanding
= $178,300 ÷ 21,400
= $8.33
Dividends per Share = $41,800 ÷ 21,400
= $1.95
b. Increase in retained earnings = Operating Profit (EBIT) - Interest expense - Taxes - Preferred dividends - Common dividends
= $307,000 - $32,000 - $65,100 + $31,600 + $41,800
= $136,500
We simply applied the above formulas
Answer:
A. dr. Bad Debt Expense 3,000 and cr. Allowance for Doubtful accounts 3,000
Explanation:
Bad debt Expense will be calculated using the percentage of debt loss. The expense will be calculated using the account receivable balance.

Closing Balance = $100,000 x 5% = $5,000
As Allowance for Doubtful Accounts already have credit balance of $2,000, we need to adjust the remainder to make the closing balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $5,000 at the year end.
Adjustment Value = $5,000 - $2,000 = $3,000
