Answer: E. Statements b and c are correct.

Explanation:

Should the company begin to depreciate over a 10 year period as opposed to 7, that would mean that the depreciation expense per year will reduce as it is now spread over a longer period. Because Depreciation reduces the Net Income and therefore reduces the taxes on the Net Income, reducing depreciation means that there is more Net Income. This will mean that the company can be taxed more.

Also, as just mentioned, spreading Depreciation over a longer period will reduce the depreciation expense. This would translate to a lower reduction in the Net Income so the Net Income will increase by this change.

For example, if a $70,000 asset was to be depreciated to $0 over 7 years, those payments would be $10,000 each using the Straight line method. This would reduce Net Income by $10,000 every year. If the period was changed to 10 years, the amount drops to $7,000 per year which would mean only $7,000 to remove from the Net Income meaning there'll be more Net Income and hence, more taxes.

If you need any clarification do react or comment.

Assume instead that (a) freight costs were paid by the vendor, (b) no discounts were taken, and (c) the merchandise on hand at t
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

The missing part of the question is found below:

Cinnamon Buns Co. (CBC) started 2021 with $52,000 of merchandise on hand. During 2021, $280,000 in merchandise was purchased on account with credit terms of 2/10, n/30. All discounts were taken. Purchases were all made f.o.b. shipping point. CBC paid freight charges of $9,000. Merchandise with an invoice amount of $4,000 was returned for credit. Cost of goods sold for the year was $316,000. CBC uses a perpetual inventory system.

Option A,$318,000 is correct

Explanation:

The points to note  in answering this question are :

The opening inventory of $52,000 was overvalued as $10,000 out of it was held for third as consignment,hence it does belong to Cinnamon Buns Co(CBC).

Secondly,in calculating the costs of goods available the freight charges are disregarded since it assumed to have been paid by the supplier.

Lastly discounts are assumed not have been taken,as a result the purchase and returns should be stated at invoice prices.

Restated opening inventory=$52,000-$10,000=$42,000

Merchandise purchased is $280,000

merchandise returned is $4,000

Costs of goods available=opening inventory+purchases-returns

                                         =$42,000+$280,000-$4000

                                         =$318,000

Sliva [168]

Answer:

1. $28,800

$103,200

2. $28,800

$103,200

3. $86,400

$45,600

Explanation:

1. The dividend paid to preferred stockholders = Shares × Par value × Percentage

= 3,000 shares × $120 × 8%

= $28,800

The dividend paid to Common stockholders = Cash dividend - Dividend paid to preferred stockholders

= $132,000 - $28,800

= $103,200

2. The dividend paid to preferred stockholders = Shares × Par value × Percentage

Note :- Because preferred stocks are non-cumulative in nature, the company is not allowed to pay last two years' dividends and preferred stocks are liable for payment only for the current year.

= 3,000 shares × $120 × 8%

= $28,800

The dividend paid to Common stockholders =  Cash dividend - Dividend paid to preferred stockholders

= $132,000 - $28,800

= $103,200

3. The dividend paid to preferred stockholders = Shares × Par value × Percentage × Number of years

Note: Since preferred stocks are cumulative in nature, the company is forced to pay last two years' dividends along with the current year's dividend.

= 3,000 shares × $120 × 8 % × 3 years

= $86,400

The dividend paid to Common stockholders = Cash dividend - Dividend paid to preferred stockholders

= $132,000 - $86,400

= $45,600
