               Cr Common stock                               $50,000

               Cr Paid-up capital - common stock    $170,000

April 7    Dr Cash                                                  $520,000

               Cr Preferred stock                                $250,000

               Cr Paid-up capital - preferred stock    $270,000  

(to record the issuance of 5,000 shares $50 par value at $104)              

Explanation:

1. Cash dividends is not a form of expenses in a corporation, in fact it is the distribution of earnings from corporation to its shareholders; thus not tax deducted.

2. In a corporation, shareholders are only liable to the amount of shareholding they possess. Thus, their liability to the corporation is limited.

3. One of the main disadvantage of corporation is the double taxation system. It is because a corporation and its shareholders are considered to be two separate legal entities so they all have to pay their income tax. This makes the income earned at the corporate is liable for paying corporate tax before it is paid to its shareholders under the form of dividend which is once again being taxed as at individual level since it is one of the income source(s) of the shareholders.

4. Shareholders can easily traded their owneship in a corporation through selling/buying its share without asking permission from the corporation's other shareholders or its management. Moreover, usually the market value of these shares are at a appropriate level for trading at individual level.

5. Though Management runs the daily business activities, Management's activities should be under the direction of other major policy decisions (eg: growth strategy in the next 5 years) of a corporation which is made by Board of Directors.

6. Stock's equity simply includes all the amount that shareholders have been contributed to a corporation under the form of buying/holding its common/preferred stock and the amount of net earnings a corporation retained.

7. The price of a stock is usually valued by assesing its current financial health including its financial position, earnings, risks and prospects. From that, potential stock investors form up an expectation on the stock price.

8.  As explained in 6, the answered is d.

9. Stock issued at price over par value is termed a premium.

10. As there is 60,000 issued and 10,00 reacquired, the outstanding is 60k -10k =50k.

11. Descriptions are put under each journal entry for explanation.

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

A retroactive date endorsement

Explanation:

In Insurance, a retroactive date endorsement is used for most claims-made policy forms.

For a claims-made policies, the date which a professional liability coverage begins, covering for any incident that causes damage or harm to a third party on or after the date it occurred, provided the claims relating to it were filed with an active liability insurance coverage, is known as the retroactive date endorsement.

Hence, Bernice should add a retroactive date endorsement to the policy to protect the insurer against liability for such previous losses.

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

5.52%

Explanation:

Cost of Furniture= $150,000

discount= 5.25% (120-day note)

To get the exporter's true effective annual financing cost, we have:

150,000*[1-(0.0525*120/360)] = 147,375

=(150,000/147,375) 365/120-1 = 5.52%

Therefore, the exporter's true effective annual financing cost is 5.52%

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

When someone starts their own business, they do it because they firmly believe that they will succeed. Most of the time they are not thinking about what will happen if things do not work as planned. I believe that people that are afraid and believe that the possibility of failure is large, will never start their own business. Entrepreneurship is something that not everyone can do, and it takes a lot of guts to do it.
