May 20

Dividend is declared, No entry is required

June 14

Dividend to be recorded on this date. As  dividend is not paid yet so it will be recorded as payable and on the other hand dividend account is debited to make a contra capital account of dividend.

July 14

Dividend is paid as cash is paid so, it will be credited and the liability is reduced so, it will be debited.

July 31

At the end of the period we have to adjust the Dividend Contra capital account in retained earning to make the dividend account zero.

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

The increase in operating profit is $1,829.00.

Explanation:

The rise or fall in the operating income:

= Purchase unit × ( offer price- direct material- direct labor- variable overhead)

The rise or fall in the operating income: = 1550× (2 - 0.26 - 0.4 - 0.16)

The rise or fall in the operating income: = $1829

Therefore the profit will increase by $1829

Here all the fixed cost is not considered because it is a sunk cost and variable and administrative expenses are also not considered because these costs are not going to be incurred for offer.

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

A = $698,494.97 is the right answer.

And Assuming that interest rates remain constant, the T-note’s price is expected to Increase.

Explanation:

A. $698,494.97

B. $593,720.72

C. $838,193.96

D. $440,051.83

Solution:

First we need to see which among the four options is the correct value.

For that we need to find the rate:

Rate = Yield to Maturity/2

Yield to Maturity = 11%

So,

Rate = 11/2

Rate = 5.5%

Now, we need to find the Nper ( Number of periods for the loan)

Nper = 5 x 2 = 10 years.

Nper = 10 years

Now, we need to find PMT which is a financial function used to calculate the amount to be paid for the loan based on constant payments and interest.

PMT = (3%/2) x par value

PMT = (3%/2)x 1,000,000

PMT = 15000

Now, For future value, we have par value.

So,

Par Value = Future Value = FV = 1,000,000

Now, we have to find the PV = Present Value or the price of the bond.

For this we need to use PV function on excel.

Formula:

Price = - PV(Rate, Nper, PMT, FV)

Plugging the values in Excel like this and we get:

Price = -PV (5.5%,10,15000,1000000)

Price = $698,494.97

Hence, A = $698,494.97 is the right answer.

And Assuming that interest rates remain constant, the T-note’s price is expected to Increase.
