Answer:

$53,000,000

Explanation:

The amount of dividends paid by Del-Castillo Inc. can be ascertained using the retained earnings formula as follows:

retained earnings=net income+previous year retained earnings-dividends paid

retained earnings for current year is $960 million

net income is $70 million

previous year retained earnings were $943 million

dividends paid is unknown

dividends=net income+previous year retained earnings-current year retained earnings

dividends=$70 million+$943 million-$960 million

dividends=$53 million

According to law,  third-party beneficiary have certain rights which they can enforced if the contract is not fulfilled.

            While excavating Odell damages few nearby properties, so Mesa County files a law suit against Odell. But Odell argues that Odell is not in agreement with Mesa County or have not entered into with any contract with the County, so Mesa cannot sue the excavator.

            But the court hold that as Mesa County is the third party beneficiary of the contract and have certain rights, Odell is held liable for the loss and should compensate for the loss to the County.

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

3. 5,110,000 and 5,170,000

Explanation:

Number of shares to be used in computing basic earnings per share

= 4800000*12/12 + 200000*9/12 + 4800004/12

= 4800000 + 150000 + 160000

= 5,110,000

Number of shares to be used in computing dilute earnings per share

= 4800000*12/12 + 200000*9/12 + 4800004/12 + (6000000/1000)*40*3/12

= 4800000 + 150000 + 160000 + 60000

= 5,170,000

Therefore, The number of shares to be used in computing basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share on December 31, 2018 is 5,110,000 and 5,170,000.

Fantom [35]

Answer:

Interest amounts at December 31st = $80

Interest amounts at April 30th = $160.

Explanation:

Total interest amount = $6,000 * 8% = $480

Since this is a time extension, we have 360 days (i.e. 180 * 2 = 360)

Interest amounts at December 31st (Nov. 1 - Dec. 31) = (60/360) * $480 = $80

Interest amounts at April 30th (Jan.1 - Apr. 30) = (120/360) * $480 = $160.
