In calculating earnings per share, companies deduct preferred dividends from net income if:
Savatey [412]

Answer: Option B

Explanation: Earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders with the weighted average number of shares.

Deduction of preferred dividends from net income is done only when dividends are declared by the entity, otherwise not. Preference shareholders have priority over common shareholders in case of dividends, so it will result in reduction of earnings to common shareholders but only when the dividends are declared and distributed.

A company purchased a commercial dishwasher by paying cash of $4,200. The dishwasher's fair value on the date of the purchase wa
kogti [31]

Answer:

$4,760

Explanation:

The value a company will record for the dishwasher will be the amount that was used to purchase the dishwasher plus the associated cost of transporting and installing the dishwasher.

The price of the dishwasher to be used is the actual amount it was bought and not the fair value.

Amount recorded for dishwasher= Price + Transportation + Installation fees

Amount recorded for dishwasher= 4,200 + 330 + 230

Amount recorded for dishwasher= $4,760

Note the fee for illegal parking is not considered because it is not a direct cost related to purchase of the dishwasher

Total                                                                          <u>   79,430   </u>

Therefore, the total amount of product costs is $79,430.

(2) What is the total amount of period costs?

Period costs are costs that are related to passage of time but cannot not be charged to the cost of goods sold.

Therefore, the total amount of period costs of Choco Chocolata can be calculated as follows:

Choco Chocolata
