Answer:

$ 330000

Explanation:

Gross margin represent the amount of money remaining after the removal or subtraction of cost of product or services sold from its net sales \

Gross margin = ( total revenue - costs of good sold ) × 100

the sales in 2008 and 2009 were steady at $ 30 million dollar

the gross margin increased from 2.8% to 3.9 %

the amount the cost of sales reduced = ( $ 30 million × 0.039) - ( $ 30 million × 0.028) = $ 330000

Trusper Company was organized on January 1, Year 1 and has had 1,000 shares of $200 par value, 10% cumulative preferred stock ou
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

$50,000

Explanation:

Generally, preferred stockholders receive dividends earlier than common stockholders. Moreover, as the preference shareholders are cumulative, if they do not receive dividends current year, they will receive in the next year. Finally, preferred dividend is fixed until there are new issuance of preferred stock.

Preferred dividends for Year 1 = 1,000 shares × $200 × 10% = $20,000

For year 2 = $20,000

Given, total dividends in year 1 = $15,000

Therefore, company provides $15,000 to preferred dividends. No common dividends in year 1.

However, in the next year (Year 2), the company will pay $5,000 + $20,000 = $25,000 to preferences shareholders.

Therefore, remaining dividends are for common stockholders.

Year 2 common stockholders dividends = $75,000 - $25,000 = $50,000.

Dodge, Incorporated acquires 15% of Gates Corporation on January 1, 2013, for $105,000 when the book value of Gates was $600,000
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

Goodwill    35,000 debit

   Investment in Gates      25,000 credit

  Retained Earnings          10,000 credit

--to adjust for change of method--

Explanation:

600,000 x 15% = 90,000

purchased at     105,000

<em>goodwill of 15,000</em>

<em />

+ 150,000 x 15% of net income = 22,500

- 50,000 x 15% dividends          =   (7,500)

<em>investment at the end of 2013:</em>

90,000 + 22,500 - 7,500 = 105,000

Then we purchase 25%

105,000 represent 15%

thus 25% would be: 105,000 / 0.15 x 0.25 = 175,000

purchased at 200,000

goodwill of 25,000 to be recognized.

So, equity method will be:

105,000 + 175,000 = 280,000 for the proportional equity

and 15,000 + 25,000 = 35,000 goodwill

Total of 315,000

While fair value will not recognize goodwill. and also, the investment is not modified when dividends and the gain for the year are delcared.

It measure at cost unless the market value of the stock decrease so we got:

105,000 1st purchase + 200,000 2nd purchase = 305,000

To adjust we are going to decrease investment by 25,000 and increase goodwill by 35,000 the other will go into retained earnings to balance out.

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

The answer is given below;

Explanation:

Income Tax Payable =1,800,000*30%=$540,000

Deferred Tax Asset=3,000,000*30%=$900,000

Deferred Tax liability=2,400,000*30%=$720,000

Therefore the income tax expense=$540,000+$720,000-$900,000=$360,000

The litigation expense will be deductible from taxable income when paid,therefore it will give deferred tax asset.

Profit on installment sales will give rise to more profits being subjected to taxes,therefore it gives rise to deferred tax liability.
