(a) Compute the weighted-average number of shares outstanding if the 30,000 shares were issued for cash. (b) Compute the weighted-average number of shares outstanding if the 30,000 shares were issued in a stock dividend.

Respuesta :

Answer

1) Issued for Cash

Weighted Average number of shares at year end 330,000

b) Issued for Dividends

weighted Average number is 320,000

Explanation:

The Weighted average number  (assuming year end is 31 December)

300000 * 12/12 = 300000 full year

30000 = 30000

issued for dividends

Weighted average number

300000 * 12/12 = 300000 full year

30000 * 8/12 = 20000

total at year end 320000 shares
