Anettt [7]

Answer: Option (d) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Net Income = $252,327

Depreciation expense = $21,821

Accounts Receivable increased by = $14,346

Inventory increased by  = $33,617

Operating Income = Net Income + Depreciation expense - Accounts Receivable - Inventory + Prepaid Expenses - Accounts Payable + Loss on the sale of equipment

= $252,327 + $21,821 - $14,346 -  $33,617 + $3,079 - $4,161 + $5,398

= $230,501

Andru [333]

Answer:

$135000

Explanation:

Given: Outstanding cumulative preferred stock of 10000 shares of 8% at $100

            Dividend paid= $375000.

Now, calculating preferred stock.

Preferred stock= (10000 shares\times $100\times 8\%)= \$ 80000

∴ Preferred stock= $80000

Cumulative dividend paid to shareholder= (80000\times 2 + 80000) = \$ 240000.

∴ Cumulative dividend paid to shareholder= $240000

Next, computing the amount of dividends will common stockholder receive.

Total dividend paid= $375000.  

Dividend received by common stockholder= (\textrm {Total dividend paid - cumulative dividend paid})

⇒ Dividend received by common stockholder= (375000-240000)= \$ 135000

∴ $135000 dividend will be received by common stockholder.
