The board of directors of Benson Company declared a cash dividend of $1.50 per share on 42,000 shares of common stock on July 15

Helga [31]

Answer:

D. Debit to Dividends Payable.

Explanation:

The first thing we have to keep in mind is that dividends are liabilities, that is, they represent cash outflows for the corporation. In the example, we can distinguish two moments: the declaration of a cash dividend and its effective distribution. Next, we will analyze them from an accounting point of view:

On July 15, 2014, Benson Company declared a cash dividend. In accounting terms, on that day the “Retained Earnings” account was debited. Remember that this account is the one that records the profits that the company has obtained to date. So, what was done was to subtract that part that is to be distributed among stockholders. This amount is then transferred to a current liability account called “Dividends Payable”. In this case, money was added, therefore, the account was credited.

On August 15 dividends were distributed. That day, the "Dividends Payable" account was debited, or, in other words, its money was discounted, because it is now in the hands of shareholders.

Maggie's Muffins, Inc., generated $2,000,000 in sales during 2015, and its year-end total assets were $1,400,000. Also, at year-

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

The Sales will increase by $350,000 (2000,000 * 17.5%)

Explanation:

As we know that,

Self Supporting Growth Rate = Return on Equity * (1 - Payout Ratio) ...Eq1

Here

Payout ratio given is 50%

and

Return on Equity = 35% (Step 1)

By putting values in Eq1, we have:

Self Supporting Growth Rate = 35% * (1 - 50%)

Self Supporting Growth Rate = 17.5%

Which means that Sales will increase by $350,000 (2000,000 * 17.5%) which is 17.5%.

Step 1: Find Return on Equity

We know that:

Return on Equity = Net Income / Equity ..............Eq2

As we are not given value of Net Income we can not calculate the value of return on equity. But there is another way that we can calculate by simply multiplying and dividing by sales on Left hand side of the Eq2 equation.

Return on Equity = Net Income / Equity * Sales / Sales

By rearranging, we have:

Return on Equity = Net Income / Sales * Sales / Equity

Now here,

Net Income / Sales = Profit Margin

By putting this in the above equation, we have:

Return on Equity = Profit Margin * Sales / Equity

Here

Profit Margin is 7% given in the question.

Sales were $2,000,000

And

Equity is $400,000 (Step 2)

By putting values, we have:

Return on Equity = 7% * $2,000,000 / $400,000

Return on Equity = 35%

Step 2. Find Equity

Equity = Assets - Liabilities

Here,

Assets are worth $1,400,000

Liabilities are standing at $1,000,000 which includes only current liabilities because company doesn't have any long term borrowings

By putting the values, we have:

Equity = $1,400,000 - $1,000,000 = $400,000

Grace [21]

Answer:

the European Central Bank (ECB) should engage in a contractionary monetary policy

Explanation:

A contractionary monetary policy takes place when a central bank (or the Fed) reduces the money supply in order to cool down the economy, lower inflation rate or like in this case, wants to offset expansionary fiscal policy.

The central bank initially raises the interest rates and starts selling more securities in order to absorb cash from the markets.

ExtremeBDS [4]

If the insurer takes the policy as applied for the coverage will take effect when the conditions of the receipt are met and from the date of the application or medical exam. The two types of conditional receipts are insurability and approval. The insurability receipt provides interim coverage as the applicant is insurable while the approval receipt will not begin until the insurer will approve the claim. However, conditional receipts will provide the coverage if the applicant is insurable as applied for and coverage will not be delivered until the applicant accepts the coverage if the insurer concerns a counter-offer because the applicant is substandard risk.

The supply curve represents ___________. A. the maximum price buyers are willing to pay to buy an extra unit of a good. B. the

matrenka [14]

Answer:

The answer is: C) The minimum price sellers are willing to accept to sell an extra unit of a good.

Explanation:

A normal supply curve should move upward from left to right. The expresses the Law of Supply: (given that all other factors remain without change) As the price of a product increases, the quantity supplied should also increase.

For example:

An ounce of gold costs right now $1,500 and 100 ounces of gold are being traded right now at that price. If a new buyer comes in and wants to buy the 101th ounce of gold, then following a normal supply curve, the new buyer would need to pay more for that extra ounce of gold, maybe $1,510.

What the supply curve shows us is that given a certain price Y, a company will be willing to sell X amount of goods. The more demand a product has (X + 1) > X, then the price Y will increase until a new balance is found.
