Answer:

$220,000

Explanation:

From the Accounting Equation we know:

Assets = Liabilities + Shareholders' equity

Net Income is the amount we add in the Shareholders' equity as Retained Earnings and Dividend Paid amount is deducted from the Shareholders' equity, So by putting in the values given in the question, we get;

Total Assets = Total Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity + Net Income - Dividend Paid

$240,000 = $120,000  +$160,000 + $180,000 - Dividend Paid

Dividend Paid = $460,000 - $240,000

Dividend Paid = $220,000

Complete the balance sheet and sales information in the table that follows for J. White
deff fn [24]

Answer:

Sales $600,000

Cost of Goods Sold $450,000

Cash $28,000

Accounts payable $110,000

Accounts receivable $60,000

Inventory $120,000

Common Stock $140,000

Fixed Asset $192,000

Total Liabilities and equity $400,000

Explanation:

1.To compute the missing amount of sales, we must look for the data given that has something to do with sales. And the two data given that will give us the hint are the Asset turnover and the total asset.

ASSET TURNOVER = Net Sales / Total Asset

1.5 = Net Sales * $400,000

Net Sales = 1.5 * $400,000

Net Sales = $600,000

To check if the answer is correct:

$600,000 / $400,000 = 1.5 <em>which is equal to the data given</em>

<em />

2. The Sales has been computed above and Gross profit margin on sales is present, these are the hint we needed to compute the Cost of goods sold.

Sales  100%

<u>Less: Gross profit margin on sales 25%</u>

Cost of goods sold ratio on sales 75%

Therefore, $600,000 x 75% (ratio on sales) = $450,000

3.ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

It is impossible to compute the cash based on the data given without the accounts receivable. So, let's compute the accounts receivable beforehand.

The additional hint that we have is the Days sales outstanding (based on 365-day year).

  • Days sales outstanding = Accounts receivable / (Annual credit sales / 365 days)
  • 36.5 days = Accounts receivable / ($600,000 / 365)
  • Accounts receivable = 36.5 * ($600,000 / 365)
  • Accounts receivable = $60,000

<em>To check our answer:</em>

<em>$60,000 / ($600,000 / 365)</em>

<em>$60,000 / 1,643.84</em>

<em>36.5 days</em>

<em />

4. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE

Next missing item that we will compute is the accounts payable. The hint that we have that is related to the computation of accounts payable is the Liability to asset ratio.

FORMULA :

Liability to asset ratio = Total Liabilities / Total Assets

40% = Total Liabilities / $400,000

Total Liabilities = 40% * $400,000

Total liabilities = $160,000

To Check:

<em>$160,000 / $400,000 = 40% which is equal to the data given</em>

<em>Next Step, Compute accounts payable (the only current liability account in the given partial income statement). Long term debt is the only non-current liability on the data given, which means it is the only account that is included in the total liability of $160,000.</em>

<em />

So, $160,000 less $50,000 = $110,000 (accounts payable)

5. CASH

We can now compute the cash based on the accounts already computed above. The additional hint that we have is the quick ratio. Quick ratio is the quotient of Cash & cash equivalent plus Marketable securities (which is not present in the data given, therefore ignore) plus the accounts receivable over the current liability.

Computation:

0.80 = (Cash + Marketable security + Accounts receivable) / current liability

0.80 = (Cash + Accounts receivable) / $110,000

Cash + Accounts receivable = 0.80 * $110,000

Cash + Accounts receivable = 88,000

Cash + $60,000 = $88,000

Cash = $88,000 - $60,000

Cash = $28,000

6. INVENTORY

To compute the inventory, we need the inventory turn-over hint.

Inventory turn-over = Cost of goods sold / Average inventory

3.75 = $450,000 / Ave inventory

Average inventory = $450,000 / 3.75

Average inventory = $120,000

to check:

<em>$450,000 / $120,000 = 3.75 which is equal to the data given</em>

<em />

7. COMMON STOCK

Total asset = Liabilities + Equity

$400,000 = $160,000 +?

$400,000 - $160,000 = $240,000

Equity is composed of common stock and retained earnings. Therefore, $240,000 - $100,000 (Retained earnings) = $140,000 (common stock)

8. FIXED ASSET

It is the only asset account that is missing after we computed cash, accounts receivable and inventory. Therefore total assets less current assets equals fixed assets.

  • $400,000 - ($28,000 + $60,000 + $120,000)
  • $400,000 - $208,000
  • $192,000 (fixed assets)

9. TOTAL LIABILITIES AND EQUITY

Current liability + Non-current liability + Common stock + Retained earnings

$110,000 + $50,000 + $140,000 + $100,000

$400,000

Journalizing issuance of stock—at par and at a premium
suter [353]

Answer:

a.

Cash                                                                           27000 Dr

     Common Stock                                                            13500 Cr

     Paid in capital in excess of par-Common stock         13500 Cr

b.

Cash                                                    135000 Dr

     Preferred Stock                                   135000 Cr

Explanation:

a.

When we issue stock at premium, we always record the amount received from such issuance of stock at full. So, the cash account will be debited for 4500 * 6 = 27000

However, we record the common stock issued at par value and the remaining is credited under the reserve account which is Paid in capital in excess of par.

Thus the common stock will be credited by its par value of 4500 * 3 = 13500 and the remaining 4500 * 3 will be credited to the Paid in Capital account.

b.

The par value of the preferred stock is 4500 * 30 = 135000

Thus the preferred stock is issued at par and we simply debit the cash received from the issue and credit the preferred stock.

If bread is produced by using a constant returns to scale production function, then if the: A) number of workers is doubled, twi
nekit [7.7K]

Answer: Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Constant returns to scale production function: When there is an increase in inputs (i.e capital and labor) as a result output increases by the same proportion.

For example: If the amounts of equipment and workers are both doubled in the production of bread then as a result the output of bread also doubled.

Suppose the capital and labor increases by 10% then as a result output also increases by 10%.

Parents may claim a $2,000 child tax credit for a dependent child who is 22 years of age at the end of the year if the child is
Nataliya [291]

Parents may claim a $2,000 child tax credit for a dependent child who is 22 years of age at the end of the year if the child is a full-time student. The Child Tax Credit is a refundable tax benefit claimed by filing Form 1040 claim a tax credit of $2,000 per qualifying dependent child under age 17

<h3>What is Child Tax Credit?</h3>

Different nations offer parents with dependent children a tax advantage known as the child tax credit (CTC). The credit is frequently correlated with the number of dependent children a taxpayer has, as well as occasionally with their income. For instance, only families in the United States who earn less than $400,000 year are eligible to get the entire CTC. Similar to the United States, only families earning less than £42,000 a year are eligible for the tax credit in the United Kingdom.

The federal child tax credit (CTC) in the United States is a tax credit that is only partially refundable for parents of dependent children. Subject to an earned income level and phase-in, it offers $2,000 in tax relief per eligible kid (with up to $1,400 of that amount being refundable).
