Answer:

D) a share of the profits paid to each shareholder on the basis of the number of shares they hold.

Explanation:

Dividend: The dividend is distributed when the company is earning profits. If the company is suffering losses, then no dividend is declared. In this, the priority is given to the preference shareholders then equity shareholders.

After distributing the dividend to the shareholders, the balance would be transferred to the retained earnings which is come under shareholder equity in the balance sheet.

So, based on their holding shares, the dividend is paid to each shareholder.

Date     Unit    Unit cost    Total       Goods sold     Cost   Total

May 1    28         9                252              28                9       252

May 15  26        10               260              26                10      260

LIFO assumes that the last set of inventory are the first to be sold

    Goods Sold       Cost     Total

            39                  11       429

            26                  10      260

             15                  9         135

Ending Inventory = (93-80)*9 = $117

Average Cost Method

Ending Inventory = 13 * 10.118 =$131.534
