Answer:
Option C. Debit Cash and credit Stock Investments
Explanation:
The reason is that in the equity method of recording the dividends receipts, it is always deducted from the stock investment and the relevant share of reported net income of the associate is added to the stock investment.
So mathematically,
Stock Investment Under Equity Method = Opening Value for the year + Share of Net Income - Dividend received
Stock Investment Under Equity Method = $300,000 + $160,000 * 25% + $60,000 * 25% = $325,000
The above treatment shows that the recording of dividends include credit to stock investment and the cash receipt is always debited.
So the double entry would be:
Dr Cash $15,000
Cr Dividends $15,000
So the option C is correct.
Answer:
-9.92%
Explanation:
P₀ = Div₁ / (Re - g)
- Div₁ = next year's expected dividend = $1.12 x (1 - 11.5%) = $0.9912
- Re = cost of equity = ?
- P₀ = current stock price = $62.91
- g = dividend's growth rate = -11.5%
Re = (Div₁ / P₀) + g
Re = ($0.9912 / $62.91) - 11.5%
Re = 1.58% - 11.5% = -9.92%
Since the cost of equity or required rate of return cannot be negative, I suppose that investors are not worried about Abbott distributing dividends, instead, they prefer that the company reinvests earnings in new projects.
