Answer:

Retained Earnings increased $28,650 in 2016.

Explanation:

The total increase in Retained Earnings account = Net income = $80,000;

The total decrease in Retained Earnings account = Dividend paid to common shares + Dividend paid to preferred shares = Dividend per common share x Number of common share outstanding + % dividend on preferred stock x par value of preferred stock x number of preferred stock outstanding = 0.75 x 65,000 + 2% x (130,000 / 13,000) x 13,000 = $51,350;

So, Net effect on Retained Earnings Account =  $80,000 - $51,350 = $28,650 ( increase).

dlinn [17]

Answer:

Giada's Book Store

The company would have reported a total profit of $19,000, which is $10,000 less.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Income statement for the most current​ year:

                                               Cookbook  Travel Book    Classics   Total

Sales                                        $68,000  $126,000  $53,000  $247,000

Cost of goods sold                    40,000     66,000     21,000     127,000

Contribution margin                  28,000     60,000    32,000     120,000

Order and delivery processing 21,000     24,000      11,000       56,000

Rent​ (per sq. foot​ used)              2,000       5,000      4,000         11,000

Allocated corporate costs          8,000        8,000      8,000       24,000 Corporate profit                     ​$​ (3,000​)  $23,000    $9,000     $29,000

Corporate profit =                     $29,000

less allocated cookbook costs   10,000

Adjusted corporate profit =      $19,000

b) Discontinuing the Cookbook product line would have eliminated the contribution the product line makes to defraying Rent and Allocated Corporate costs totalling $10,000 unless the Rental space was a variable cost.
