Answer:

Dr Retained earnings $9,000

Cr Dividends payable                $9,000

Explanation:

The number of shares eligible for dividends is the issued common stock minus treasury stock, that is 15,000 shares(20,000-5,000),as a result ,dividends of $9000 (15,000*$0.6) were declared.

The appropriate entries on the declaration date is to debit retained earnings with $9,000 and credit dividends payable account with $9000

Upon payment, the dividends payable would be debited and cash account credited.

The following units of an inventory item were available for sale during the year: Beginning inventory 11 units at $51 First purc
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

$2,338

Explanation:

For computing the ending inventory, first we have to determine the average cost per unit, then ending inventory units which are shown below:

= (Beginning inventory units × price per unit +  first purchase inventory units × price per unit + second purchase inventory units × price per unit + third purchase inventory units × price per unit) ÷ (Beginning inventory units + one purchase inventory units + second purchase inventory units + third purchase inventory units)

= (11 units × $51 + 15 units × $53 + 21 units × $55 + 17 units × $57) ÷ (11 units + 15 units + 21 units + 17 units)

= ($561 + $795 + $1,155 + $969 ) ÷ (64 units)

= ($3,480) ÷ (64 units)

= $54.375 per unit

Now the ending inventory units would be

= Available units for sale - sale units

= 64 units - 21 units

= 43 units

Now the ending inventory would be

= Ending inventory units × average cost per unit

= 43 units × $54.375 per unit

= $2,338

What happens when a price floor is imposed above the equilibrium price of a good?
PolarNik [594]
<span>Price floors can have differing effects depending on other government policies. If the government agrees to purchase a specific maximum of unsold products at the price floor, it incentivizes a business to increase supply or at least to stay in the industry despite slow sales. Many governments do this for areas they see as strategically or politically significant, such as agriculture, or to prevent what they consider to be unfairly low prices of its products. If a foreign government sets a price floor for coffee beans, for example, and then agrees to buy the surplus up to a certain amount, it encourages growers to maintain their operations by placing an effective hedge against price fluctuations. If you own a small coffee shop, these price floors mean that you’re more likely to be able to find your imported beans, but you’ll pay more for them</span>

Compare Franklin Roosevelts ( a democrat) actions concerning the economy in the 1930s with Ronald reagans (a republican) actions
steposvetlana [31]
Franklin Roosevelt's economic plans were to help the people by giving them things such as social security, lowering poverty rates, increasing wages and similar, while Ronald Regan's plan was to reduce tax rates so as to increase production and the overall wealth of the people. From this we might conclude that while Roosevelt wanted to help prevent poverty and help the people by through direct means, Regan wanted to help people by helping their employers who would in turn help their employees due to accumulated wealth.
