Answer:
Dr Retained earnings $6,200
Cr Dividends payable $6,200
Explanation:
The shares entitled to dividends payment are those outstanding as at when dividends were declared,that is those shares in issue as at the date of dividend declaration,in essence only the outstanding shares of 12,400 are entitled to dividend payment of $0.50 per share.
The amount of dividend payment=$0.50*12,400=$6,200
The total dividends declared of $6,200 would be debited to retained earnings and credited to dividends payable until the payment date when the cash would be settled.
Answer:
I would decline the proposal to drop Super Sports Centers.
Explanation:
In order to be able to accept or decline dropping SSC as a customer we must first calculate the cost of being paid after 200 days.
If you analyze it from an accounting point of view, dropping SSC will decrease your operating profits by $130,000 and that might result in your firm not being able to make a profit anymore.
In my opinion, the cost analysis is not complete because in order to calculate EBIT your are simply subtracting COGS from revenue (which is correct but incomplete). When you make important business decisions, you must determine which is the least of evils. Is reducing your DSO so important that you will risk going bankrupt? How much does financing SSC costs? Since SCC takes so long to pay, you should probably record the present value of the sale (similar to a non-interest bearing note).
You must also remember that if your total sales decrease by 20%, your COGS will increase since fixed costs per unit will increase. Probably the best way to understand this is to analyze the situation like a special order sale. SNC should probably calculate their manufacturing (or retailing) costs without SSC and that way they will be able to determine the real advantage or disadvantage of having SSC as a client.
Answer:
selling the defective gloves as they are results in a $3,000 higher gain
Explanation:
the manufacturing costs of the defective gloves should be considered a sunk cost since they cannot be recovered:
alternative 1, sell defective gloves = $18 x 1,000 = $18,000 gain
alternative 2, repair the gloves and sell them at normal price = ($40 - $25) x 1,000 = $15,000 gain
alternative 1 (selling the defective gloves as they are) results in a $3,000 higher gain

Answer:
The correct answer is:
John's capital account for $35,300 (c.)
Explanation:
In the admission of a new partner, the purchase of ownership from an existing partner to a new partner is entirely a personal transaction between the existing partner and the new partner, and the extent of partner bonus (the interest sold on the original partnership amount) is acquired by the exiting partner, but this bonus is not reflected in the partnership agreement, hence the amount credited into the new partner's account is the same as that owned previously by the exiting partner, irrespective of how much the partnership ownership was sold for.
Hence, since Bobbi's partnership capital was $35,300, John's account would be credited with the same amount even if the ownership was sold for $55,900, as the bonus goes to Bobbi.
