Answer:

B) Debit: Cash Dividends 50,000 Credit: Dividends Payable - Common Stock 50,000

Explanation:

At the time of declaration of dividends the proper journal entry should be:

  • Dr Retained Earnings 50,000
  • Cr Dividends Payable - Common Stock 50,000

You can use the Cash Dividends account, which is a temporary account, although it's not the best option. This account is used only when companies have not been making a profit before (retained earnings = 0), or for new companies.  

Since no payment is done, the cash account is not affected (eliminating options A, C and D).

Dividends Payable is a liability account and since it increases, it should be debited.

Cash Dividends is a temporary equity account that is debited once the company declares the dividend distribution.

alexira [117]

Answer:

a. $1.38

b. anti-dilutive.

Explanation:

<em>Basic Earnings Per Share = Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock / Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Holders</em>

<u>Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock Calculation :</u>

Net income for the year                                                        $1,160,000

Less Bond Interest after tax ($2,010,000 × 7% × 80%)        ($112,560)

Less Preference Stock dividend ($4,080,000 × 6%)          ($244,800)

Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock           $802,640

<u>Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Holders Calculation :</u>

Common Stock (5,800,000 / $10)                                          580,000

Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Holders      580,000

Basic Earnings Per Share = $802,640 / 580,000

                                           = $1.38

<em>Diluted Earnings Per Share = Adjusted Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock / Adjusted Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Holders</em>

<u><em>Adjusted</em></u><u> Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock Calculation :</u>

Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock                    $802,640

Add Back Bond Interest after tax ($2,010,000 × 7% × 80%)         $112,560

Add Back Preference Stock dividend ($4,080,000 × 6%)           $244,800

<em>Adjusted</em> Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock   $1,160,000

<u><em>Adjusted</em></u><u> Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Holders Calculation</u>

Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Holders                 580,000

Add Convertible Bonds ($2,010,000 / $1,000 × 30)                          60,000

Add Convertible Preference Shares ($4,080,000/$100 ×3)            122,400

Less Common Stock Options                                                              (82,100)

<em>Adjusted</em> Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Holders 680,300

Diluted Earnings Per Share =  $1,160,000 / 680,300

                                              =  $ 1.70

Conclusion : Convertible Bonds, Convertible Preference Shares and Common Stock Options are anti-dilutive.

La. A friend of yours, Grace, wants to purchase a house in five years. To save for the house, Grace decides to deposit $ 112,000
olchik [2.2K]

The balance in the savings account at the end of the 8th year (i.e., after 8 deposits) is  $99,256, and the interest earned on the 8 deposits is $27,256

The future value of annuity is a calculation that measures how a good deal a chain of fixed bills might be really worth at a specific date in the future whilst paired with a particular interest price. The word “value” in this term is the coin's potential that a sequence of future payments can gain.

The equation to find future value of the annuity:

Future Value = E ( ( 1 + r)^p - 1 ) / r

E = Annual deposit = $9,000

r = Interest rate = 9%

P = 8 years

FV = Amount available = 9,000 ( 1.09^8 - 1 ) / .09 = $99,256

Interest = 99,256 - 9000 * 8 =  $27,256

Future value is the value of a current asset at a future date based on an assumed fee of growth. The future price is vital to investors and economic planners, as they use it to estimate how an awful lot of funding made today may be worth it in the future.

Savanna Company is considering two capital investment proposals. Relevant data on each project are as follows: Project Red Proje
liberstina [14]

Answer:

(a) Cash payback period:

     Project Red = 5.5 years

     Project blue  = 4.6 years

(b) Net present value for project Red = $19,760

     Net present value for project Blue =$164,580

(c) Annual rate of return:

Project Red =11.36%

Project Blue  =18.75%

(d) Project Blue

Explanation:

Given Data;  

Project Blue Capital investment = $640,000

Project Red Capital investment = $440,000

Project Red  Annual Net income = $ 25,000.

Project Blue Annual Net income = $ 60,000

Annual depreciation Project Red = (440000/8)

                                                       = 55,000

Annual depreciation Project Blue = (640000/8)

                                                       =  80,000

Annual cash inflow project A = $ 80,000

Annual cash inflow project B = $140,000

(a)

Cash payback period = Initial investment/cash flow per period

Project Red = 440000 /80000

                   = 5.5 years

Project blue = 640000/ 140000

                    = 4.6 years

(b)

Project Red  Present value of cash inflows = 80000 ×5.747

                                                                       = $459,760

Project Blue Present value of cash inflows  =140000×5.747

                                                                        = 804580

Net present value for project Red = $459,760 - $440,000

                                                        = $19,760

Net present value for project Blue = 804580 - $640,000  

                                                         =$164,580

(c) Annual rate of return:

Project Red   = $25,000 / ($440000)/2

                       =11.36%

Project Blue =  $60000/(640000/2)

                    =18.75%

(d) Savanna should select Project Blue because it has a higher positive NPV and a higher annual rate of return. AND Project Blue has early cash back period also
