Question One Required 1 Solution:

Step 1) Determine the ending balance of each equity account:
Common shares:
1/1/21: 80,000 shares outstanding $ 320,000
3/31/21: 2,400 added outstanding shares from stock dividends 34,320

12/31/21: 73,900 shares outstanding $ 317,770

9/30/21: Ave. issuing cost

= ($320,000 + $34,320) / (80,000 x 103%)
= $354,320 / 82,400 = $4.30

Contributed surplus:
1/1/21: $ -
9/30/21: 8,500 shares ($2.6 - $4.30) x 8,500 shares 14,450
12/31/21: $ 14,450

Retained earnings:
1/1/21: Beginning balance $ 206,000
2021 net earnings 650,000
Dividends declared ($34,320 + $50,000) (84,320)

Calculations
1. The value of ending inventory would consist entirely of the June 15 purchases under FIFO.
Ending inventory = [(80 + 160 +210) – (100 + 280)] × 30 = $2,100
2. Average cost per unit = (2,000 + 4,480 + 6,300)/(80 + 160 + 210) = $28.4
Cost of goods sold = (100 + 280) × $28.4 = $10,792
3. Average cost per unit (right before June 8) = (2,000 + 4,480)/(80 + 160) = $27
Cost of goods sold = 100 × $27 = $2,700
4. The value of ending inventory would consist entirely of the June 15 purchases under FIFO.
Cost of goods sold = goods available for sale – ending inventory
= (2,000 + 4,480 + 6,300) – (68 × 30) = S10,740
5. Average cost per unit (after June 8)=(2,000 + 4,480)/(80 + 160) = $27
Average cost per unit (after June 15)=[(80 + 160 - 100) × 27 + 6,300 ]/(80 + 160 -100 + 210) = $28.8
Ending inventory = [(80 + 160 +210) – (100 + 280)] × 28.8 = 2,016
7. $51,400 – (49,000 – 48,000 + 1,300) = $49,100
8. $30,000 - (4 years x 1,000 x $3) = $18,000 (preferred dividends for 2015, 2016, 2017
and 2018 must be paid before common dividends can be paid)
12. Total liabilities = $800,000 × 0.625 = $500,000;
Current liabilities = $300,000/2 = $150,000;
Long-term liabilities = $500,000 - $150,000 = $350,000
21. 2016 depreciation expense = 15,000 × (1/5 × 2) = $6,000;
2017 depreciation expense = (15,000 – 6,000) × 40% = $3,600
22. Annual depreciation expense = [(10 x 4,000) - (10 x 500)] ÷ 5 = 7,000
2018 depreciation expense = [40,000 - (2 x 7,000)] ÷ 2 = 13,000
24. $35,000 = Purchases – (24,000 – 7,000) – 9,000; Purchases = $61,000

26. 100,000 × 6% × $30 = $180,000

27. 800,000 – [17,678 – (800,000 × 12% × 1/12)] = $790,322
28. {800,000 – [17,678 – (800,000 × 12% × 1/12)]} × 12% × 1/12 = $7,903
