On June 13, the board of directors of Siewert Inc. declared a 2-for-1 stock split on its 20 million, $5.00 par, common shares, to be distributed on July 1. The market price of Siewert common stock was $16 on June 13. Prepare a journal entry that summarizes the declaration and distribution of the stock split if it is to be effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend. What is the par per share after the split
Answer:
a. No journal entry is required.
b. Par per share after the split = $2.50
Explanation:
a. Prepare a journal entry that summarizes the declaration and distribution of the stock split if it is to be effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend.
No journal entry is required for this because the total value of the shares has not changed due to 2-for-1 stock split.
This is because the 2-for-1 stock split has only increased the number of shares outstanding by 2, but at the same time reduces the par value of the share by half making the total value of the shares to remain the same.
b. What is the par per share after the split.
As explained in a above, the effect of 2-for-1 stock split is to reduce the par value of the share by half.
Therefore, the par per share after the split can be calculated as follows:
Par per share after the split = Par per share before the split / 2 = $5 / 2 = $2.50

the current account of a country measures the value of the trade balance, transfers and the net income
the component of the current account includes
trade balance - it measures the value of the import and export of goods and services of a country.
net income - measures the value of the income received by a country's residents less the income paid to foreigners
transfers - it includes income sent home by a country's citizens working outside the country
Asset income - measures changes in the asset income
this transaction - China purchases $10 billion of United States government securities - would be included in the capital account

Baxter Company
Income Statement
For the year ended December 31
Sales revenue $1,075,000
Cost of goods sold 755,252
Gross profit $319,748
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Normal production units = 9,000
Units sold at $125 per unit = 8,600
Ending inventory = 400
Sales revenue = $1,075,000 (8,600 * $125)
Standard: 5 yards per unit at $6.30 per yard
Standard: 2.25 hours per unit at $15.00
Standard: variable overhead $1.05 per unit
Standard: fixed overhead $211,500 (budgeted and actual amount)
Cost of production:
Direct materials (43,240 yards at $6.25 per yard) = $270,250
Direct labor (19,100 at $14.90 per hour) = 284,590
Total factory overhead incurred = 235,500
Total cost of production = $790,340
Units produced = 9,000
Cost per unit = $87.82
Cost of goods sold = 8,600 * $87.82 = $755,252
Cost of ending inventory = 400 * $87.82 = $35,128

Renaissance Creations restores antique stained glass windows. All jobs generate some breakage or improper cuts. This scrap can be sold to stained glass hobbyists. Renaissance Creations expects to incur approximately 45,000 direct labor hours during 2013. The following estimates are made in setting the predetermined overhead rate for 2013:
One job that Renaissance Creations completed during 2013 was a stained glass window of the Pierce family crest that took 125 hours, and direct labor is invoiced at $20 per hour. Total direct material cost for the job was $890. Scrap that was generated from this job was sold for $93.
a. What was the predetermined overhead rate (set on the basis of direct labor hours) for 2013?
b. What was the cost of the Pierce stained glass window?
c. Prepare the journal entry to record the sales value of the scrap from the Pierce stained glass window.
d. Assume instead that only certain jobs generate scrap. What was the cost of the Pierce stained glass window?
Answer:
hello your question has some missing information attached below is the missing information
answer :
a) $7
b) $4265
c) attached below
d) $4192
Explanation:
a) determine the predetermined overhead rate
= Total estimated overhead / estimated direct labor hour
Total estimated overhead = $315,000
estimated direct labor hour = 45,000
hence predetermined overhead rate = 315,000 / 45,000 = $7
b) calculate the cost of the Pierce stained glass window
Direct material cost = $890
number of labor hours = 125
direct labor cost = $20 per hour
predetermined overhead rate = $7
∴cost of glass window = [ ( 890 + ( 125 * 20 ) + ( 125 * 7 ) ] = $4265
c) Journal entry used to record sell of scrap
Account name
cash $93
manufacture overhead $93
d) assuming only some jobs generate scrap
first we will calculate the overhead rate per hour
= ( $297000 + $25200) / 45,000 = $7.16
∴ Total cost of pierce stained glass window
= [ (direct material cost + number of labor hours ) + number of labor hours ( predetermined overhead rate ) ] - $93
= $4285 - $93 = $4192

Break-even analysis can be used by a firm that produces more than one product, but:
a. the results are estimates, not exact values.
b. the firm must allocate some fixed cost to each of the products.
c. each product has its own break-even point.
d. the break-even point depends upon the proportion of sales generated by each of the products.
e. None of these statements is true.
Answer:
d. the break-even point depends upon the proportion of sales generated by each of the products.
Explanation:
Breakeven analysis is the method used to determine the number of units a firm must sell at a specific price to cover all costs. It is a concept that allow business owners or financial experts to determine and know what they need to sell either on a monthly or annual (yearly) basis, in order to be able to cover the costs of doing the business.
Basically, it helps us to determine the amount of revenue required for the smooth operation of a business, amount of money needed to cover both fixed and variable costs. Using the breakeven analysis, production costs can be categorized as;
1. Variable costs: these are costs that usually change with respect to changes in the level of production or output. Examples are direct labor, maintenance of equipment or machines, raw materials costs etc.
2. Fixed costs: these are the costs which are not directly related to the level of production or not affected by the quantity of output in an organization. Examples are rent, depreciation, administrative cost, research and development costs, marketing costs etc.
Break-even analysis can be used by a firm that produces more than one product, but the break-even point depends upon the proportion of sales generated by each of the products.

Comparative advantage in production is achieved by: Group of answer choices Subsidizing, specializing, and lowering the price of an exported good. Being able to produce a good with fewer inputs than in other countries. Having terms of trade that are better than the terms of trade faced in other countries. Having a lower opportunity cost of producing a good relative to that of other countries.
Answer:
Having a lower opportunity cost of producing a good relative to that of other countries.
Explanation:
Comparative advantage in economics is the ability of an individual or country to produce a specific good or service at a lower opportunity cost better than another individual or country.
The comparative advantage gives a country a stronger sales margin than their competitors as they are able to sell their specific products or render their peculiar services at a lower opportunity cost.
Also, the principle of comparative advantage asserts that countries can become better off by specializing in what they do best.
This simply means that, any country applying the principle of comparative advantage, would enjoy an increase in output and consequently, a boost in their Gross Domestic Products (GDP).
Hence, comparative advantage in production is achieved by having a lower opportunity cost of producing a good relative to that of other countries.

of skills that should be possess by an entrepreneur
Answer:
1. Curiosity. Great entrepreneurs are tasked with identifying new problems, identifying potential niche opportunities, refactoring their existing business processes, and innovating. This necessitates a passion for various fields of study and business cases that are outside of one's comfort zone.
2. Time management. Prioritization, milestone definition, execution, and iteration are all critical. None of this would be possible without the proper project management and time allocation methodologies in place to complete the work.
3. Strategic thinking. Learning to break down a problem to its simplest components and identify growth opportunities. Inventive problem-solving and spotting the low-hanging fruit. Defining an MVP's scope and testing concepts in a short amount of time and on a tight budget.
Under the periodic inventory system, Village Fabrics purchased 25 yards of blue plaid fabric at a cost of $2.00 per yard on June 1; on June 3, 22 yards were sold of the blue plaid; a new shipment came in with 25 more yards at a cost of $1.25 per yard on June 5; on June 15, 17 yards of the blue plaid fabric were sold; Village Fabrics purchased another 25-yard bolt at a cost of $1.00 per yard on June 19; on June 27, 6 more yards had been sold. What is the value of inventory as of June 30 under the LIFO method
Answer:
$56.25
Explanation:
LIFO means last in first out. It means that it is the last purchased inventory that is the first to be sold.
the inventory sold would be accounted for from the last purchased items
a total of 75 yards was bought and 45 were sold. This leaves 30 yards in the inventory .
the 30 yards would be accounted for using the cost of the fabrics bought on June 1 and 5
25 x $2 = 50
5 x $1.25 = $6.25
total = $50 + $6.25 = $56.25
Assume that the labor market for retail workers is generally unskilled. If a minimum wage is set in the labor market for retail workers and that this minimum wage is above the equilibrium wage in this particular labor market, then __________ . Select the correct answer below: there will be a shortage of retail workers in this labor market there will be a surplus of retail workers in this labor market. there will be a non-binding price floor there will be a non-effective minimum wage
Answer:
there will be a surplus of retail workers in this labor market.
Explanation:
In the attached diagram the scenario is illustrated.
When the minimum wage is above the equilibrium wage it means that the minimum wage is above what employees are willing to pay workers. So employees will be less wiling to pay this amount.
There will be a reduction in the number of available slots for workers.
On the other hand workers will receive higher wage than they expected but since the slots for work are now limited there will be a surplus of labour in the market

Policy makers have been trying to diminish the gender gap in pay for several decades. Let's begin by determining the gender gap in 2004. For both of the maps, move the timeline back to 2004. The overall statistics give two values. The first value (the National Median) is the amount earned by the person for whom half of the country earn more and half earn less. Normally in thinking about pay inequality, we give the amount that women earn for every dollar a man earns. To get that number, divide the National Median for women by the National Median for men. In 2004 how much did women earn, on average for every dollar earned by a man?
a. $0.96
b. $1.32
c. $0.76
d. $0.80
Answer:
c. $0.76
Explanation:
Note: The picture below contains the national median for male and female workers
National median for female workers = $31,374
National median for male workers = $41,194
Earnings of women for every dollar of man’s earnings = National median for female workers / National median for male workers
Earnings of women for every dollar of man’s earnings = 31,374/41,194
Earnings of women for every dollar of man’s earnings = 0.76
On November 15, 2018, X Corp., an accrual basis taxpayer, enters into a contract which will provide the corporation with the use of manufacturing equipment for the 5 year period beginning on December 1, 2018. X Corp. paid $100,000 for the 5-year period on December 1, 2018. How much, if any of the payment can X Corp. deduct in 2018
Answer: $20000
Explanation:
Since $100,000 is paid for the contract which will provide the use of manufacturing equipment for 5 years, the payment that can be deducted for each of the 5 years will be an equal payment.
Therefore, the payment that X Corp. can deduct in 2018 will be:
= $100,000 / 5
= $20000
Laura is an investor and a limited partner in a limited partnership. Two years after she becomes a limited partner, Laura thinks that the general partners are not doing a very good job managing the affairs of the limited partnership and participates in the management of the limited partnership. While she is participating in management, a bank loans $1 million to the limited partnership, believing that Laura is a general partner. If the limited partnership defaults on the $1 million loan, which of the following holds well?
A. Laura has unlimited personal liability as a limited partner.
B. Laura is personally liable as the bank, in good faith, thought she is a general partner.
C. Laura's liability is restricted to the value of her capital investment in the partnership.
D. Laura is not personally liable as she is a limited partner on paper.
Answer
Option B. Laura is personally liable as the bank, in good faith, thought she is a general partner
Explanation:
Limited Partnership (LP)
This is Business entity that exists in line with state statutes that gives limited liability to some of its members who called limited partners.
RULPA
This is simply called Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act. It is the model for Limited Partnership legislation in most states.
Limited Partner
This is a part or member of a limited partnership.it is that individual who is not involved in controlling the business and whose liability is limited to amount invested in the business.
General Partner
It is simply a member in a limited (or general) partnership who controls the business and has unlimited personal liability.
In the above scenario, Laura will be taken as a general partner and will be held personally accountable or liable for the loan, and also along with the general partners of the limited partnership.The rule of RULPA gives the right for a limited partner to be involved in the management of the partnership’s affairs and not losing the limited liability if the limited partner has been formally employed by the partnership to be an executive of the partnership.

Colquhoun International purchases a warehouse for $311,000. The best estimate of the salvage value at the time of purchase was $16,000, and it is expected to be used for twenty-five years. Colquhoun uses the straight-line depreciation method for all warehouse buildings. After four years of recording depreciation, Colquhoun determines that the warehouse will be useful for only another fifteen years.
Required:
a. Calculate annual depreciation expense for the first four years.
b. Determine the depreciation expense for the final fifteen years of the asset’s life.
Answer:
a. $11,800
b. $16,520
Explanation:
Depreciation expense using straight line method is calculeted as :
Deprecation expense = (Cost - Salvage Value) ÷ Estimated useful life
therefore,
Annual depreciation expense for the first four years.
Deprecation expense = ($311,000 - $16,000) ÷ 25 = $11,800
The depreciation expense for the final fifteen years of the asset’s life.
Depreciable Amount = Cost - Salvage Value - Accumulated depreciation
= $311,000 - $16,000 - ($11,800 x 4)
= $247,800
Deprecation expense = $247,800 ÷ 15 = $16,520
Pet Supplies Inc., a pet wholesale supplier, was organized on January 1. Projected sales for each of the first three months of operations are as follows: January $300,000 February 500,000 March 750,000 All sales are on account. Seventy-five percent of sales are expected to be collected in the month of the sale, 20% in the month following the sale, and the remainder in the second month following the sale. Prepare a schedule indicating cash collections from sales for January, February, and March. Enter all amounts as positive numbers.
Answer:
January = $225,000
February = $435,000
March = $677,500
Explanation:
Use the collection policy given to guide your calculations for cash collection.
Month`s Collection = 75 % of Current Month`s Sale + 20 % of Previous Month`s Sale + 5 % of Second Previous Month` Sales
Therefore cash collections for January, February, and March will be :
January = $300,000 x 75 % = $225,000
February = $500,000 x 75 % + $300,000 x 20% = $435,000
March = $750,000 x 75 % + $500,000 x 20 % + $300,000 x 5 % = $677,500
A schedule indicating cash collections from sales for January, February, and March will indicate the following Total Collections :
January = $225,000
February = $435,000
March = $677,500
What are various options to regulate monopolies in the United States?
I’ll give brainliest
Answer:
ok I'll give you what I know monopolies are one business operating so try and use that
[tex]\color{green}{\tt {Regulation \: of \: monopoly}}[/tex]
The government may wish to regulate monopolies to protect the interests of consumers. For example, monopolies have the market power to set prices higher than in competitive markets. The government can regulate monopolies through:Price capping – limiting price increasesRegulation of mergersBreaking into cartels and unfair practisesNationalisation – government ownership.[tex]\color{red}{\tt {Why \: the \: Government \: regulates \: monopolies}}[/tex]
Prevent excess prices. Without government regulation, monopolies could put prices above the competitive equilibrium. This would lead to allocative inefficiency and a decline in consumer welfare.Quality of service. If a firm has a monopoly over the provision of a particular service, it may have little incentive to offer a good quality service. Government regulation can ensure the firm meets minimum standards of service.Monopsony power. A firm with monopoly selling power may also be in a position to exploit monopsony buying power. For example, supermarkets may use their dominant market position to squeeze profit margins of farmers.Promote competition. In some industries, it is possible to encourage competition, and therefore there will be less need for government regulation.Natural Monopolies. Some industries are natural monopolies – due to high economies of scale, the most efficient number of firms is one. Therefore, we cannot encourage competition, and it is essential to regulate the firm to prevent the abuse of monopoly power.#CarryOnLearning
