for $326,000. On May 4, 2017, McCaffrey declared a property dividend of one share of Harper for every twenty shares of McCaffrey stock held by a stockholder. On that date, when the market price of Harper was $34 per share, there were 280,000 shares of McCaffrey outstanding. What net reduction in retained earnings would result from this property dividend?

Answer:

Net reduction in retained earning = (304,267)

Explanation:

No. Of shares outstanding of McCaffrey = 280,000 shares

No. Of shares issued as property Dividend = 280,000/20×1 = 14,000 shares.

Market price of shares issued as property Dividend = 14000× 34 = $476,000

Cost of 14000 shares of Harper corporation = $ 326,000/15000×14000= $ 304,267

Net gain = 476,000- 304267 = $171,733

Property Dividend = $ 476,000

So, net reduction in retained earning = 171,733- 476,000 = (304,267)

Note:

Due to gain on issue of shares as property Dividend , retained earning increases . Because these shares are issued at more than they actually purchased.

Due to issue of shares as property Dividend , retained earning decrease because property divided decreases is declared from retained earning .

Answer:

(29,800)

Explanation:

The computation of the financial advantage or disadvantage is shown below:

As we know that

Financial disadvantage = Cost of making - Cost of buying

where,

Cost of making is

= [(Direct material per unit + direct labor per unit + variable manufacturing overhead per unit) × units produced] + additional segment margin

= [($4.7 + $9.30 + $9.80 + $5.20) × 22,000 units] + $34,000

= ($29 × 22,000 units ) + $34,000

= $672,000

And, the Cost of buying is

= Units produced × offered price

= 22,000 units × $31.90

= $701,800

So,

Financial disadvantage is

= Cost of making - Cost of buying

= $672,000 - $701,800

= (29,800)

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

51,000

Beginning WIP 0

Started into Production (60,000+15,000)

Total Units 75,000

= 45,000 = 45,000 equivalent conversion units

Ending WIP 15,000

= 15,000 * .4 = 6,000

45,000+6000 =51,000

Total Units 75,000 = 51,000 conversion total equivalent units

Therefore the equivalent units of production for conversion costs for the month of July is 51,000
