Required: How much would Lance Products have reported for total assets and retained earnings on December 31, 2019, if the firm had declared and paid a $15,000 cash dividend on December 31, 2019? Prepare the journal entry for this cash dividend. How much would Lance have reported for total assets and retained earnings on December 31, 2019, if the firm had issued a 15% stock dividend on December 31, 2019? Prepare the journal entry for this stock dividend. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION How much would Lance have reported for total assets and retained earnings on December 31, 2019, if the firm had effected a 2-for-l stock split on December 31, 2019? Is a journal entry needed to record the stock split? Why or why not?arrow_forwardALTERNATIVE DIVIDEND POLICIES Rubenstein Bros. Clothing is expecting to pay an annual dividend per share of 0.75 out of annual earnings per share of 2.25. Currently, Rubenstein Bros.' stock is selling for 12.50 per share. Adhering to the company's target capital structure, the firm has 10 million in total invested capital, of which 40% is funded by debt. Assume that the firm's book value of equity equals its market value. In past years, the firm has earned a return on equity (ROE) of 18%, which is expected to continue this year and into the foreseeable future. a. Based on this information, what long-run growth rate can the firm be expected to maintain? (Hint: g = Retention rate ROE.) b. What is the stock's required return? c. If the firm changed its dividend policy and paid an annual dividend of 1.50 per share, financial analysts would predict that the change in policy will have no effect on the firm's stock price or ROE. Therefore, what must be the firms new expected long-run growth rate and required return? d. Suppose instead that the firm has decided to proceed with its original plan of dis bursing 0.75 per share to shareholders, but the firm intends to do so in the form of a stock dividend rather than a cash dividend. The firm will allot new shares based on the current stock price of 12.50. In other words, for every 12.50 in dividends due to shareholders, a share of stock will be issued. How large will the stock dividend be relative to the firm's current market capitalist ion? (Hint. Remember that market capitalization = P0 number of shares outstanding.) e. If the plan in part d is implemented, how many new shares of stock will be issued, and by how much will the companys earnings per share be diluted?arrow_forwardQuestion 20 FLAG QUESTION Consider the following Year 1 information for Terrier Treats (T) 12 13 Revenues $10,000 14 Total expenses including taxes $6,500 15 Total shares outstanding 100 16 Stock Price at the end of Year 1 $57.00 If T"s cost of equity is 17% and the current stock price is $50, what is the dividend payout ratio (1 (express as a % rounded to 1 digit after the decimal: x.x%) Answers 1 - 1 1.
