Answer:

The debit to the retained earning should be $750,000 for this transaction because that is the market value of the asset to be distributed as dividend.

Explanation:

Property dividend is a form of dividend payout that involves distribution of company`s assets to equity holders as a form of return. These assets can be inventory, marketable securities or investment in a subsidiary.

For this distribution to be formal, it must be approved by the board of directors of the company. After approved and declared, the accounting entries can now be passed.

The accounting entries needed are:

Debit: Retained Earnings with the amount of the asset distributed.

Credit: Dividend Payable with the amount of the asset distributed.

It is important to note that  the market value of asset to be distributed should be considered i.e the market value of the asset must be recognized in the book. The difference in book value and market value of the investment will be recognized in respective asset ledger account prior transfer to retained earnings.So that the market value of the investment is recognized on the debit side of retained earnings

In the case of Fitzgerald, $750,000 will be debited to retained earnings since it is the market value of the asset to be distributed.

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

$343,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Sales revenue = $385,000

Operating expenses = $65,000

= Sales revenue - Gross profit

= $385,000 - $42,000

= $343,000

Therefore, the amount of cost of goods sold for the Lucky is $343,000.
