Answer:

Mapleleaf Industries

Journal Entry

Debit Cash Dividend $40,800

Credit Dividends Payable $40,800

To record the declaration of $0.85 per share cash dividend.

Explanation:

This journal entry shows the two accounts involved and how they are recorded when a cash dividend is declared (declaration date).

Calculation of cash dividends is based on 48,000 shares of common stock outstanding and not on the issued shares nor the authorized.  Usually, dividends are only payable to shareholders of record, who appear on the register of the company as holders of the shares on the specified date (date of records).

So, the divided equals $40,800 (48,000 x $0.85).

bixtya [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": Wait until he enters an area with an available wired network.

Explanation:

It is common that while driving on the road there might be some areas where internet connection can be lost because the antennas of the service provider our mobile lines work with are not nearby. Then, just like in Jojo's case, we should wait to enter into an area where there is enough signal so we can use our mobile internet as usual.
