Answer:
Retained Earnings increased $28,650 in 2016.
Explanation:
The total increase in Retained Earnings account = Net income = $80,000;
The total decrease in Retained Earnings account = Dividend paid to common shares + Dividend paid to preferred shares = Dividend per common share x Number of common share outstanding + % dividend on preferred stock x par value of preferred stock x number of preferred stock outstanding = 0.75 x 65,000 + 2% x (130,000 / 13,000) x 13,000 = $51,350;
So, Net effect on Retained Earnings Account = $80,000 - $51,350 = $28,650 ( increase).
Answer: The answer is as follows:
Explanation:
Given that,
Cash = $16,000
Inventory = $16,000 fair value (inside basis $8,000)
Accounts receivable with a fair value = $8,000 (inside basis of $12,000) to Daniela
Daniela's basis = $20,000
JRD basis = cash + inventory + accounts receivables
= 16,000 + 2,000 + 2,000
=$20,000
Out of $20,000,
Pending amount for inventory and accounts receivable allocation:
= JRD basis - Cash basis
= $20,000 - $16,000
= $4,000
This pending amount is allocated equally among the inventory and accounts receivable i.e, $2,000 is allocated to inventory and $2,000 is allocated to accounts receivable.
