Solution:
The cash dividend is cash or assets generally paid into the current income of the company to the shareholders. All dividends are to be declared by the executive board and whether the payment for the dividend should remain identical.
Ending Retained Earnings= Beginning Retained Earnings + Net Income - Dividends
( Beginning and Ending Retained Earnings are given in question )
$688,000 = $582,000 + $175,000 - Dividends
$688,000 = $757,000 - Dividends
Dividends = $757,000 - $688,000
Dividends = $69,000
Answer:
Dorsett's net operating loss for Year 8 is $41,800.
Explanation:
From the question, we have:
Amount by which deductions exceeding gross income = $56,800
Net operating loss deduction (carryover from Year 7) = $15,000
Dividends received deduction = $6,800
In order to calculate Dorsett's net operating loss for Year 8, the dividends received deduction of $6,800 has to be fully allowed but the net operating loss deduction (carryover from Year 7) of $15,000 wouldn't be not allowed.
Therefore, we have:
Dorsett's net operating loss for Year 8 = Amount by which deductions exceeding gross income - Net operating loss deduction (carryover from Year 7) = $56,800 - $15,000 = $41,800
Answer:
Interest expense = $20,000
Explanation:
<em>Loan Amortization: A loan repayment method structured such that a series of equal periodic installments will be paid for certain number of periods to offset both the loan principal amount and the accrued interest. </em>
The annual installment is computed as follows:
Annual installment= Loan amount/annuity factor
Annual installment is already given as = 37,258 (already given)
Interest payment = interest rate × Loan balance at the beginning of the year
DATA
Interest rate = 8%
Loan balance at the beginning of the year = $250,000
Interest expense = 8%× 250,000 = $20000
Principal paid = Annual installment - Interest = 37,258-20,000 = 17,258 <em>(this is not required but to explain the concept)</em>
Interest expense = $20,000
Answer:
Option 3
Explanation:
Earnings & profits (E&P) is the measure of a corporation’s economic ability to pay dividends to its shareholders. An up-to-date E&P calculation is important for many corporate transactions, including determining whether a distribution to shareholders is a taxable dividend.
The E&P allocated to Andrew's distribution
= 160,000 * 150,000/(350,000+150,000)
= 160,000 * 150,000/500,000
= 48,000
Option C
Answer:
A retroactive date endorsement
Explanation:
In Insurance, a retroactive date endorsement is used for most claims-made policy forms.
For a claims-made policies, the date which a professional liability coverage begins, covering for any incident that causes damage or harm to a third party on or after the date it occurred, provided the claims relating to it were filed with an active liability insurance coverage, is known as the retroactive date endorsement.
Hence, Bernice should add a retroactive date endorsement to the policy to protect the insurer against liability for such previous losses.
