Answer:
Accrual basis of accounting
Explanation:
Accruals basis accounting (accruals accounting, the matching concept) depicts the effects of transactions and other events and circumstances on a reporting entity’s economic resources and claims in the periods in which those effects occur, even if the resulting cash receipts or payments occur in a different period.
Revenue from sales and other income should be reported in the period when the income arises (which might not be the same as the period when the cash is received from the customer / client).
Based on the above discussion it can be concluded that the Portie's practice is an example of accrual basis of accounting.
Answer:
Percentage total return is 12.64%
Dividend yield is 2.19% or 2%
Explanation:
Computing the percentage total return by using the formula:
Percentage total return = Gain or loss / Initial price × 100
where
Gain or loss is determined as:
Gain or loss = Ending Share price - Initial price
= $98 - $87
= $11 (it is a gain)
Initial price is $87
Putting the values above:
Percentage total return = $11 / $87 × 100
= 12.64%
Computing the dividend yield by using the formula:
Dividend yield = Annual dividend per share / Stock's price per share
where
Annual dividend per share is $2.15
Stock's price per share is $98
Putting the values above:
Dividend yield = $2.15 / $98
= 2.19% or 2%
