Harding Corporation acquired real estate that contained land, building and equipment. The property cost Harding $2,470,000. Harding paid $735,000 and issued a note payable for the remainder of the cost. An appraisal of the property reported the following values: Land, $777,000; Building, $2,310,000 and Equipment, $1,533,000. (Round your intermediate percentages to the nearest whole number: i.e 0.054231 = 5%. Do not round any other intermediate calculations.) Assume that Harding uses the units-of-production method when depreciating its equipment. Harding estimates that the purchased equipment will produce 1,160,000 units over its 5-year useful life and has salvage value of $19,000. Harding produced 281,000 units with the equipment by the end of the first year of purchase. Which amount below is closest to the amount Harding will record for depreciation expense for the equipment in the first year?
$192,848 ($815,100 cost of equipment (33% of $2,470,000 purchase price) minus $19,000 salvage value) ÷ 1,160,000 units = $0.6863 per unit; $0.6863 × 281,000 units = $192,848.
Curtain Co. paid dividends of $4,000; $7,500; and $8,900 during Year 1, Year 2, and Year 3, respectively. The company had 1,100 shares of 5.5%, $100 par value preferred stock outstanding that paid a cumulative dividend. The amount of dividends received by the common shareholders during Year 3 would be:
$2,250. The annual preferred dividends each year = $100 × 1,100 shares × 5.5% = $6,050. In Year 1, there were $2,050 of dividends in arrears ($6,050 preferred dividends − $4,000 paid). In Year 2, there were $600 in arrears ($2,050 beginning + $6,050 preferred dividends − $7,500 paid). In Year 3, the preferred dividends was $6,050 + $600 in arrears = $6,650. The remaining $2,250 was paid to common shareholders.
Retained Earnings at the beginning and ending of the accounting period was $1,250 and $2,600, respectively. If revenues were $4,900 and dividends paid to stockholders were $1,150, expenses for the period must have been:
