Answer:

A. Debit retained earnings for $18 million.

Explanation:

Before recording the journal entry, first we have to determine the dividend shares which are shown below:

= Number of shares × par value of share × common stock dividend percentage

= 30 million shares × $1 × 1%

= 0.30 million shares

Now the journal entry would be

Retained earnings Dr $18 million       (0.30 million shares × $60)

    To Common Stock $0.30 million       (0.30 million shares × $1

    To  Additional Paid-in Capital in excess of par - Common Stock $17.7 million

(Being the dividend is declared and the remaining balance is credited to the additional paid-in capital account)

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. In Ricci v. DeStefano, the Supreme Court ruled that an employer may not simply disregard a test based on unwanted results unless the test is shown to be biased or deficient.

Explanation:

Ricci v. DeStefano is a Supreme Court ruling of 2009, after a lawsuit by nineteen firefighters who claimed to have been discriminated against in terms of career development.  They denounced that they had been discriminated after having passed the admission tests and still had not been promoted, since no African-American candidate had passed the tests. They also denounced that they had not been promoted because the Fire Department did not want to promote a group of new recruits without including within it any member of racial minorities.

Finally, the Supreme Court established that said procedure violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, since in the case equal access to employment was not guaranteed (in this case, favoring minorities over white firefighters), for set different demands for purely racial reasons.
