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).

If the demand for loanable funds shifts to the right, then the equilibrium interest rate a. and quantity of loanable funds rises
never [62]

If the demand for loanable funds shifts to the right, then the equilibrium interest rate and quantity of loanable funds rise.

<u>Option: A</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The availability of loanable funds is savings dependent. Lending is dependent on desire for loanable funds. The relationship between the savings supply and loan requirement decides the real interest rate and the amount is being loaned out.

The requirement for loanable funds reflects lenders' actions, as well as the amount of loans requested. The smaller the rate of interest, the less costly it is to lend. The balance of loanable funds on the market is done because the amount of loans lenders want is the same as the amount of savings that savers have. The interest rate varies to ensure that both are equivalent.

creativ13 [48]

Answer: C. No, but he is liable for another $2 per share.

Explanation:

A stock is not to be issued below its par value as this is the lowest price that it is to be issued at. If a par value is $4 for instance, the stock cannot be issued for anything less than this $4.

In this scenario, the par value is $8 per share which means that Globule Inc. cannot issue this share for less than $8. Kirby in paying only $6, is still liable for $2 so that he can at least pay for the stock at its par value.
