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.

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 .

Discuss at least one other type of source or document that would help you analyze the benefits and drawbacks of free enterprise.
PtichkaEL [24]
I would say that Wikipedia could be used to research the benefits and drawbacks of the free enterprise system in terms of the advancement in scientific enquiry that took place during the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution thanks to the advent of capitalism (after feudalism). On the other hand, the same source could show the adverse working conditions for even women and children in the underground coal mines in England during the Industrial Revolution (intense exploitation).

Assume an annual interest rate of 8%. You have $1. What is the value of the $1 one year in the future
seropon [69]

Answer:

the future value is $1.08

Explanation:

The computation of the future value is shown below:

As we know that

Future value = Present value × (1 + rate of interest)^number of years

= $1 × (1 + 0.08)^1

= $1 × 1.08

= $1.08

Hence, the future value is $1.08

Vance has a vested account balance in his employer-sponsored qualified profit-sharing plan of $40,000. He has two years of servi
Maurinko [17]

Answer: $5,000

Explanation:

Per the requirements of qualified plans that permit loans, the maximum amount that an individual can withdraw is whichever is lesser between $50,000 and 50% of their Vested Account Balance.

Vance in this scenario has a vested account balance of $40,000.

50% of that would be $20,000.

That means that he can be loaned $20,000. However, he already has an outstanding loan balance that must be accounted for of 15,000.

Subtracting those figures we have,

= 20,000 - 15,000

= $5,000

The maximum loan that Vance can take from the qualified plan is $5,000
