              To Cash A/c                                                              $600,120

(Being the purchase of stock is made)

The investment is computed below:

= Number of shares acquired × par value of common stock + commission charges

= 12,000 shares × $50 + $120

= $600,120

The receipt of dividend is shown below:

=  Number of shares × cash dividend per share

= 12,000 shares × $1.40

= $16,800

(Being sale of shares is recorded and the remaining amount is credited to the profit)

The computation of this above entry is shown below:

Cash Account = Number of shares sold  × par value of common stock - commission charges

= $4,000 × $62 - $100

= $247,900

Profit on sale = (Purchase of stock ÷  Number of shares acquired) × Number of shares sold

= ($600,120 ÷ 12,000) shares × 4,000 shares

= $200,040

sergejj [24]
<span>The balance in total assets after the transaction is $36,000. This is because expenses are not assets. An asset must have value, meaning that it can be either be sold, or that the consumption of it will garner income. Expenses such as taxes or legal fees cannot later be sold or consumed for income.</span>

The statement given in the question is (A) True.

Transactional leadership is defined as a leadership style that emphasizes rewards and punishments on behaviors that the followers exhibit. This style of leadership seeks to maintain the status quo.
