Answer:
a. $80,000
Explanation:
In this question we are only concerned about the net income reported by Dodge on its income statement.
First we need to calculate ownership % in 2012 = 15% + 25% = 40%
Net income of 2012 (Gates) = $ 200000
hence Dodge will report net income of 40% of 200000 = $80000
Hence the correct answer is A
Note: Dividends will not affect the investors net income but it would reduce the investment value of Gate reported by Dodge (as it is seen as a return on investment)
Answer:
b. Prestopino had negative net income in the current year
Explanation:
Retained earnings at the end of previous year were $700,000, but retained earnings at the end of current year had declined to $320,000.
• The company does not pay dividends.
• The company's depreciation expense is its only non-cash expense; it has no amortization charges.
• The company has no non-cash revenues.
• The company's net cash flow (NCF) for current year was $150,000.
On the basis of this information, which of the following statements is CORRECT? Prestopino had negative net income in the current year
Prestopino DECPRECIATION expense in the current year was less than $150,000 and Prestopino had postive net income in the currnet year however, this income was less than it was in the previous year income.
Prestopino NCF in the current year must be higher than its NCF in the previous year and it cash on the balance at the end of the year must be lower than the cash it had on the balance sheet at the end of previous year
<span>For statement 1; Government provided housing, this may be costly but the way that the people are provided with houses can decrease the number of homeless people. For statement 2; Tax deductions to renters, this has been going on for thousand years, taxes are used to provide services to people if the government properly used it. For statement 3; Tax breaks to construction companies who provide affordable housing, this is common to developers who intend to maximize their profit and the available area for people whose income is not that high. I would suggest statement 3.</span>
