common stock. The company declares and pays cash dividends amounting to $160,000.
a. If there are no preferred dividends in arrears, how much in total dividends, and in dividends per share, does Dechow pay to each class of stock?
b. If there are one year’s dividends in arrears on preferred stock, how much in total dividends, and in dividends per share, does to each class of stock?

Answer:

a. Dividends to Preferred shareholders:

Total dividends:

= 20,000 * 50 * 6%

= $60,000

Dividends per preferred share:

= 60,000 / 20,000 shares

= $3.00 per share

Common shareholder dividends

Common shareholders get the remaining dividends that did not go to Preferred shareholders:

= 160,000 - 60,000

= $100,000

Common dividends per share:

= 100,000 / 50,000 shares

= $2.00 per share

b. These are cumulative preferred shares which means that accrued dividends must be paid off:

Preferred shares in total would be:

= 60,000 * 2

= $120,000

Preferred dividends per share:

= 120,000 / 20,000

= $6.00 per share

Common dividends in total:

= 160,000 - 120,000

= $40,000

Common dividends per share:

= 40,000 / 50,000 shares

= $0.80 per share

patriot [66]

Answer:

Following are the responses to the given question:

Explanation:

For question 1:

Calculating the cost per unit:

$\text{Direct material}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \$5\\\\\text{Direct labor} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \$3\\\\\text{Variable overhead}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \$1.5\\\\\text{Fixed overhead}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \$7\\\\\text{Cost per unit}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \$16.5\\\\$

For question 2:

Calculating the ending inventory units:

$= \text{Beginning inventory + units produced - ending inventory}\\\\= 0+40,000-38,400\\\\= 1600\ units\\\\$

Calculating the cost for the Ending inventory:

$=1600\ units \times \$16.5\\\\=\$26,400\\\\$

For question 3:

Calculating the absorption costing for the income statement:

Particular Amount

Sales $(38,400\times \$24)\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \$921,600$

-COGS $(38,400\times \$16.5)\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \$633,600$

Gross profit $\$288,000$

Cost of variable marketing $(\$1.2\times 38,400)\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \$46,080$

marketing and administrative costs are fixed $\$130,500$

Net income $\$111,420$

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer: The correct answer is "a. the ability of management to use accruals to reduce the volatility of reported earnings over time.".

Explanation: Income smoothing refers to <u>the ability of management to use accruals to reduce the volatility of reported earnings over time.</u>

The smoothing of earnings is a practice that consists in reducing fluctuations in recognized income and, therefore, fluctuations in earnings. That is, the smoothing of earnings implies saving income in bonanza times to recognize them accountingly when income is meager.

The Good Chocolate Company makes a variety of chocolate candies, including a 12-ounce chocolate bar (340 grams) and a box of six

joja [24]

Answer:

A) ≈ 3.509 grams

B) The process is not capable because the lowest Cpk which is 1.89 ≈ 1.9 is far from the ideal 1.33 capability index number ( NO )

c) 1.051 ounces

Explanation:

A) The largest standard deviation ( in grams)

This can be calculated applying the capability index formula and according to the capability index formula the value at which a process is capable is at : 1.33

hence the largest standard deviation = upper limit - lower limit / 6 * 1.33

( 354 - 326 ) / 7.98 = 3.5087 ≈ 3.509 grams

B) we first calculate the process mean and std of the box

standard deviation = $\sqrt{variance }$

std of the six-bar box = $\sqrt{6*0.86^2}$ = 2.106

process mean = 6 * ( 1.03 * 28.33) = 175.079

the mean is not centered between the upper specification and the lower specification hence we will apply the formulae used in calculating the capability index for an uncentered process

Cpk = (upper value - process mean) / (3 * std of box),

= (187 - 175.079) / ( 3 * 2.106) = 11.921 / 6.318 = 1.89

Cpk = (process mean - lower value ) / (3*std of box)

= ( 175.079 - 153 ) / (3 * 2.106) = 22.079 / 6.318 = 3.49

The process is not capable because the lowest Cpk which is 1.89 ≈ 1.9 is far from the ideal 1.33 capability index number ( N0 )

c ) lowest setting

calculate the value of the mean using capability index of 1.33

Cpk = (upper value - mean ) / 3 * std

mean = 187 - 1.33 * 3 * 2.106

= 187 - 8.40 = 178.60 grams

Cpk = ( process mean - lower value ) / 3 * std

mean = 1.33 * 3 * 2.106 + 153

= 8.40 + 153 = 161.40 grams

the lowest setting in ounces

= 178.60 / ( 6 bar * 28 .33)

= 178.60 / 169.98 = 1.051 ounces
