Explanation:
1.
The statement about shareholders' equity given in option A that it is the difference between the paid-in capital and retained earnings is incorrect as the retained earnings are a part of the equity of shareholders and are included in the calculation of shareholders' equity. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
2.
The Net Income earned by a company is usually treated in two ways. It is either paid out as dividends to the shareholders or is retained in the business and transferred to the retained earnings account or both. Thus, we can calculate the amount of dividends paid by the following equation.
Closing balance of retained earnings = Opening balance of retained earnings + Net Income for the period - Dividends Paid
700 = 595 + 160 - Dividends Paid
700 + Dividends Paid = 755
Dividends Paid = 755 - 700
Dividends Paid = $55 million
Answer: $47,989,000
Explanation:
Total Paid-in capital = Preferred stock + Paid-in capital in excess of par value - preferred stock + Common stock + Paid-in capital in excess of par value - common stock
= 420,000 + 69,000 + 20,000,000 + 27,500,000
= $47,989,000

Answer:
Debit Interest Expense $17,304.80; credit discount on bonds payable $1,104.8; credit cash $16,200
Interest Expense A/c......................Dr $17,304.80
Discount on bonds payable A/c....Cr $1104.8
To Cash A/c............................Cr $16,200
Explanation:
Given the following :
Bond value = $346,096
Market rate = 10% = 0.1
Contract rate = 9% = 0.09
Par value = $360,000
Note : Semiannual payment = rate / 2
Calculating the cash value and interest expense:
Cash value :
Par value × contract rate
$360,000 × (0.09/2)
$360,000 × 0.045
= $16,200
Interest expense :
Bond value × market rate
$346,096 × (0.1/2)
$346,096 × 0.05
= $17,304.8
