Answer:

Difference in retained earnings

= $840,000,000- $825,000,000

= $15,000,000

Dividend paid = Net income - Difference in retained earnings

Dividend paid = $55,000,000 - $15,000,000

Dividend paid = $40,000,000

Explanation:

In this case, there is need to determine the difference in retained earnings, which equal retained earnings at the end minus retained earnings at the beginning.

Dividend paid is calculated as net income minus difference in retained earnings.

Campbell, a single taxpayer, earns $400,000 in taxable income and $2,000 in interest from an investment in State of New York bon
Artist 52 [7]

Answer: Campbell will owe $115,858.25 in federal income tax this year computed as follows:

$115,858.25= $45,353.75+ 33% x ($400,000 - $186,350)).

Campbell's average tax rate is 28.96 percent.

Average Tax Rate = TotalTax / TaxableIncome = $115,858.25 / $400,000 = 28.96

Campbell's effective tax rate is 28.82 percent.

Effective tax rate = TotalTax / TotalIncome = $115,858.25 / ($400,000 + $2000) = 28.82

Campbell is currently in the 33 percent tax rate bracket. Her marginal tax rate on deductions up to $213,650 will be 33 percent. However, her marginal tax rate on the next $5,100 of income will be 33%, and income earned over $405,100 will be 35 percent. Income earned in excess of $406,750 will be taxed at 39.6%.

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Only the retained earning changed from $460,000 before the dividend payment to $211,600 after the dividend payment. The total shareholders' equity remain at $1,564,000 before and after the dividend payment.

Explanation:

Note: The two questions (a) and (b) in the question are the same and they just one question which is answered as follows:

Before dividend  payment

Common Stock = $1,104,000

Shares outstanding = $1,104,000 ÷ 8 = 138,000  

Retained earning = $460,000

Total Stockholders' Equity = $1,104,000 + $460,000 = $1,564,000

After Dividend

Shares outstanding  = 138,000 + (138,000 × 10%) = 138,000 + 13,000 = 151,800

Common Stock = $1,104,000 + (13,800 × 8) = $1,104,000 + $110,400 = $1,214,400

In excess of par value = 0 + (13,800 × 10) = $138,000

Total Paid-In Capital = $1,214,400  + $138,000 =  $1,352,400

Retained Earnings = $460,000 - (13,800 × 18) = $460,000 - 248,400 = $211,600

Total Stockholders' Equity = $1,352,400 + $211,600 = $1,564,000

Concluding Note

From the above, only the retained earning changed from $460,000 before the dividend payment to $211,600 after the dividend payment. The total shareholders' equity remain at $1,564,000 before and after the dividend payment.

An entrepreneur purchased an existing bicycle shop that had between $120,000 and $150,000 worth of sales annually for the past t
stepan [7]

Answer:

Forecasted sales: 25% maximum reduction.

Recommendations: try new ways to increase sales during the months left, or reduce its own cost.

Explanation:

  • If sales usually increase between March 1 and June 30, and this period accounts for 50% of annual revenue, if revenue is proportional to sales, a reduction in sales will reduce revenues.
  • Between March 1 and June 30 there are 4 months.
  • If sales usually pick up in March and this year they were low until the beggining of May, it means that  only 2 of the 4 most productive months were higly productive.
  • If 50% of sales are concentrated in this 4 months, and this year 2 of the 4 months were not really productive, a maximum 25% of sales (and hence of revenues) may have lost.
  • Therefore, revenues may lower by 25% this year.
  • To avoid losses, it is advisable to try new ways to increase sales during the months left, that can consist on doing some advertisement and promotions (related to health care linked to exersice for example), that helps increasing sales in the months left, to compensate the looses of the 2 months. If sales cannot be increased, it is advisable to reduce cost to avoid further looses.
