FrozenT [24]

Answer:

$2,200,000

Explanation:

The movements in the inventory account is as a result of purchases, sales and writeoffs if any. These are the events that bring about a change between the opening and closing balances.

Given;

cost of goods sold = $2,000,000

Increase in inventory = $200,000 (This is same as closing balance minus opening balance)

Ending balance = $400,000

Thus, opening balance = $400,000 - $200,000

= $200,000

Let the cost of merchandise that Dave's purchased during the year be N

$200,000 + N - $2,000,000 = $400,000

N = $400,000 + $2,000,000 - $200,000

N = $2,200,000

The cost of merchandise that Dave's purchased during the year is $2,200,000

XYZ Company had 200,000 shares of common stock outstanding on December 31, 2020. On July 1, 2021, XYZ issued an additional 44,00

-Dominant- [34]

The XYZ Company's basic earnings per share are $0.71, while the diluted earnings per share are $0.72.

Data and Calculations:

Outstanding Common stock shares on Dec. 31, 2020 = 200,000 shares

July 1, 2021, Issuance of 44,000 shares

Total outstanding common stock

January 1, 2021, Issuance of 16,000 convertible preferred stock

Par value of preferred stock = $100 per share

The Dividend rate of preferred stock = 6%

Convertibility of preferred stock = 8 common shares

Net income = $270,000

Preferred dividend = $96,000 ($1,600,000 x 6%)

Earnings for common stockholders = $174,000 ($270,000 - $96,000)

Basic earnings per share = (Net income - Preferred Dividend)/244,000

= ($174,000)/244,000

= $0.71

Convertible Preferred into Common stock = 128,000 (16,000 x 8) shares

Total shares = 372,000 (244,000 + 128,000)

Diluted earnings per share = $270,000/372,000

= $0.73

Solution:

The requirement is to use the given information to calculate Windswept Inc's Quick ratio for 2010.

Quick ratio: this represents the ability of an organisation's short term liquidity to cover and cater for its short term obligation. Basically, it looks at the ratio of the current assets of an organisation (those that can be quickly converted to cash) to meet the current liabilities.

The formula for quick ratio= Current Assets - Inventory / Current Liabilities

Windswept's quick ration = Cash + Accounts receivable / Accounts Payable (all for 2010)

= $300 + 980 / $1, 485

= $1,280/$1,485

= 0.86:1

This means that the current asset of the company can only cover its current obligations up to about 86%. This is the quick ratio.
