From an accounting standpoint, stockholders' investment and revenues increase the assets of the company without adding to the liabilities. Therefore according to the equation (A = L + E), equity must increase.
Similarly, issuing dividends and paying expenses pays cash out of the company, which decreases assets without changing liabilities. Therefore equity must decrease.
Another way to think of it is: what contributes to the company's profit and/or value, and what decreases these things? Well, revenues and people investing in the company are good (and therefore good for stockholders), and giving cash out and paying expenses are costs to the company (and therefore decrease value for stockholders).
Answer:

Preparation of the journal entry to Record the above expenditures for the new machine.
Dr Equipment 62400
Dr Prepaid Insurance 500
Cr Cash 2900
Cr Accounts Payable 60,000
(62,400+500-2900)
Equipment:

Answer:
14.60%
Explanation:
The computation of market rate of return is shown below:-
Market rate of return = (Dividend × (1 + Growth rate)) ÷ Current price of stock + Growth rate
= ($2.8 × (1 + 3.8%)) ÷ 26.91 + 0.038
= ($2.8 × 1.038) ÷ 26.91 + 0.038
= $2.9064 ÷ 26.91 + 0.038
= 0.108 + 0.038
= 14.60%
So, for computing the market rate of return we simply applied the above formula.
