Answer:

<u>The journal entry will be as follow:</u>

Dec 31th

Retained Earnings            200,000 debit

Stock Dividends Payable      200,000 credit

to record declared stock dividends

Jan 20th

Stock Dividends payable    200,000 debit

         Common Stock                                    40,000 credit

         Additional paid-in                               160,000 credit

Explanation:

The company will issue 20% stock

100,000 shares x 20% = 20,000 shares

The company cost for this 20,000 will be the market value

20,000 shares x $10 = 200,000

This will be compare with the face value of the shares to calculate the adidtional paid-in:

20,000 sahres x $2 face value = 40,000 common stock

200,000 market value - 40,000 face value = 160,000 additional paid-in

<u>The journal entry will be as follow:</u>

Dec 31th

We declare the dividends against retained earnings, from there we will take the funds to pay the dividends

Jan 20th

The dividends will be paid with common stock so we write-off the dividdends payable again the issued stock and their aditioanl paid-in.

Discuss how structural dimensions of the firm, including formalization, standardization, and centralization, can affect the firm
Andreyy89

Explanation:

A company's organizational structure can be defined as the organization of the company's activities so that it operates more efficiently and effectively and achieves its objectives and goals.

Therefore, the structural dimensions of a company including formalization, standardization and centralization will directly influence the innovation of an organization in relation to several variables such as its internal environment, processes, products and services, as there are organizational structures that are more focused on innovation than others, such as the horizontal structure in relation to the vertical, since the vertical structure is the most rigid and with a higher hierarchy, while in the horizontal structure there is greater autonomy of employees and greater participation in the decision-making process, which is a more flexible environment open to innovation.

An air defense system can be divided into how many categories, depending on their role and type of target they are protecting?
castortr0y [4]

An air defense system can be divided into 2 categories.

Explanation:

The U.S. military relies on a variety of missiles launched from finger-held to vehicle assembled systems. The Air Defense Artillery was the anti-aircraft weapons branch (for example, surface-to-air rockets).

The Missile Defense Agency's purpose is to protect stationed forces, allies, and partners, via a layered missile defence system, against hypersonic and ballistic missile threats of all kinds.

For example, two strong radars have been used on a landing pad in the Pacific to detect ICBM, another on Wake Island. The destination also was tracked by satellites equipped with infrared sensors.

Investors choose international diversification because:
Stells [14]

Answer: I found the correct and complete question:

Which of the following statements is most CORRECT with respect to international diversification?

a) the gains from diversification may be diminished due to combined correlations accompanied by volatility in world markets. b) world markets always seem to be most uncorrelated when volatility is present. c) world markets have displayed relatively low and fixed correlations over the last five years. d) global diversification produces gain even when world markets have correlations value near one.

Explanation: The correct answer is "a) the gains from diversification may be diminished due to combined correlations accompanied by volatility in world markets.".

Global markets are generally in different phases and many of them are part of weak economies that therefore have a high degree of volatility and some are correlated so that a loss in one of these markets can lead to a loss in another and earnings can be diminished.

Explanation:

In accounting, liability, Income and equity items have credit balances while assets and expenses have debit balances.

With that background, Start by picking balance relating to income and post them to the credit side of the trial balance, like revenue.

After that, pick balance relating to liability post them to the credit side of the trial balance, like trade payable.

Then pick balance relating to equity item, post them to the credit side of the trial balance, like common stock.

After this, pick items relating to asset and post them to the debit side of the trial balance, like trade receivables. Then, pick items relating to expenses and then post them to the debit side of the trial balance.

At the end, all income, liability and equity item balances are posted to the credit side of the trial balance while assets and expenses item balances are posted to the debit side.  And two sides balance.

Remember the purpose of a trial balance is to check the arithmetical accuracy of ledger balances and that was exactly what was done above.
