Answer 1

Journal Entries (amount in millions)

1. Bank A/c Dr. $ 80

To Common Stock $ 2

To Additional paid in cap, common $ 78

2. Treasury A/c Dr. $ 29.70

To Bank A/c $ 29.70

3. Retained Earnings Dr. $ 26.775

To Common Stock $ 0.765

To Additional paid in cap, common $ 26.01

(Outstanding shares as on April 10 = 4 million + 2 million - 900,000 = 5.1 million shares

Dividend declared = 5.1 million shares * 15% * $ 35 = $26.775 million)

4. Bank A/c Dr. $ 7.8

To Treasury stock $ 6.6

To Retained Earnings $ 1.2

5. (a) Retained Earnings A/c Dr. $ 16

To Dividend Payable $ 16

(b) Dividend Payable A/c Dr. $ 16

To Bank $ 16

6. Equity shares outstanding as on December 1 = 4 million + 2 million - 900,000 + 200,000 = 5.3 million shares

Total Dividend declared and paid = $ 16 million

Dividend per share = $ 16 million / 5.3 million shares = $ 3.019 per share
