Answer:

1) $3.7 billion

2) $6 billion

3) 0

4) -$2.6 billion

5) $1.19 billion

Explanation:

(1) The amount of dividend of Coca-cola can be calculated as follows

Net income - increase in retained earnings

= $6.9 billion - $3.2 billion

= $3.7 billion

(2) The net income of PepsiCo can be calculated as follows

= increase in retained earnings + dividend

= $3.4 billion + $2.6 billion

= $6 billion

(3) The dividend of Alphabet can be calculated as follows

= increase in retained earnings -net income

= $1.6 billion - $1.6 billion

= 0

(4) The ending retained earnings of Sirius XM satellite radio can be calculated as follows

= beginning retained earnings - net loss-dividends

= -$1.6 billion -$1.0 billion - 0

= -$2.6 billion

(5) The amount of beginning retained earnings of Abercrombie and Fitch can be calculated as follows

Ending retained earnings - net income + Dividend

= $1.56 billion - $0.43 billion + $0.06 billion

= $1.19 billion

Interest During Construction Dexter Construction Corporation is building a student condominium complex; it started construction
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

$140,500

Explanation:

first we must calculate the weighted average accumulated expenditures:

incurred costs as follows:

January 1: $280,000 x 12/12 = $280,000

March 1: $600,000 x 10/12 = $500,000

June 30: $1,000,000 x 6/12 = $500,000

November 1: $480,000 x 2/12 = $80,000

total = $1,360,000

now we must calculate the weighted average interest rate on the non construction debt:

12% x $3 million = $360,000

10% x $1.8 million = $180,000

total = $540,000 / ($3,000,000 + $1,800,000) = 11.25%

capitalized interest:

$1,000,000 x 10% (specific construction debt) = $100,000

$360,000 x 11.25% (non construction debt) = $40,500

total $140,500

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

<u>No</u>

Explanation:

<em>Remember, </em>in business law, as long as both parties did not sign a contractual document, the purchase is not legal.

In this case, it could be observed that Ganze only "mailed an acceptance" not a signed document between both parties agreeing on the purchase of her antique car.

Also, the fact that she quickly sent a telegram letting  Archer know that she is rejecting the offer, shows that she acted in good fate to withdraw her acceptance on time.

If revenues exceed expenses for the accounting period, the retained earnings account: a. Will have a lower balance after closing
Sati [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": All of these answer choices are incorrect.

Explanation:

Retained earnings are the part of the company's net profits which does not pay out as dividends to shareholders. The company keeps this money in the business to reinvest it or uses it to pay off a part of its debt.

When revenues of a company exceed the expenses of a period, the firm has net income. Net income is reported as a credit entry. Thus, the retained earnings will have a credit balance prior to closing.

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is common area maintenance.

Explanation:

Maintenance costs for common areas are charges (on rent) to tenants for the maintenance costs of lobbies, rest rooms, parking lots, patios and other common areas.

The conservation and maintenance of the building is one of the obligations that every community of owners must fulfill by Law. Sometimes, the neglect or the lack of liquidity in the communities, prevents the necessary conservation work.
