On January 1, 2019, Metco Inc. reported 268,000 shares of $5 par value common stock as being issued and outstanding. On March 24, 2019, Metco Inc. purchased for its treasury 3,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $38.00 per share. On August 19, 2019, 610 of these treasury shares were sold for $46.50 per share. Metco's directors declared cash dividends of $0.40 per share during the second quarter and again during the fourth quarter, payable on June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2019, respectively. A 2% stock dividend was issued at the end of the year. There were no other transactions affecting common stock during the year. Calculate the number of shares of stock issued in the stock dividend.

Answer:

The number of shares of stock issued in the stock dividend is 5,312.20 shares.

Explanation:

This can be determined as follows:

Number of shares before stock dividend = Number of shares reported on January 1, 2019 - Number of shares purchased for its treasury on March 24, 2019 + Number of treasury shares were sold on August 19, 2019 = 268,000 - 3,000 + 610 = 265,610

Number of dividend shares = Number of shares before stock dividend * Rate of stock dividend issued = 265,610 * 2% = 5,312.20

Therefore, the number of shares of stock issued in the stock dividend is 5,312.20 shares.

Multiplication. Phyllis, who is 30 years old, works for We Add for You Accounting. Phyllis has worked there for a number of years and is considering quitting in order to spend more time with her three active triplets, Sunny, Fussy, and Perky. She asks her boss, Bolivar, about the pension plan at We Add for You. Her boss tells her that she is not entitled to that information until she is at least 60 years old. Phyllis also asks about retaining her medical insurance protection if she quits and is told that she would have no right to do so. Bolivar also throws in that he has been monitoring her conversations and that he particularly enjoys the conversations between her and her single female friends involving failed dating experiences. He asks her to keep those up. Phyllis tells him that her personal phone calls are none of his business. Bolivar says that he can listen if he wants because the phones are his. Phyllis ends up starting her own company called We Multiply for You, and makes much, much more money.

Assume that a state government currently provides no child-care subsidies to working single parents, but it now wants to adopt a plan that will encourage labor force participation among single parents. Suppose that child-care costs are hourly, and suppose the government adopts a child-care subsidy that pays $3 per hour for each hour the parent works, up to 8 hours per day. Draw a current budget constraint (net of child-care costs) for an assumed single mother and then draw in the new constraint. Discuss the likely effects on labor force participation and hours of work.

A truck was acquired on July 1, 2018, at a cost of $311,850. The truck had a six-year useful life and an estimated salvage value of $34,650. The straight-line method of depreciation was used.

The Bassos contracted with Dierberg to purchase her property for $1,310,000. One term of the contract stated, "[t]he sale under this contract shall be closed . . . at the office of Community Title Company. . . on May 16, 1988 at 10:00 am. . . . Time is of the essence of this contract." After forming the contract, the Bassos assigned their right to purchase Dierberg’s property to Miceli and Slonim Development Corp. At 10:00 am on May 16, 1988, Dierberg appeared at Community Title for closing. No representative of Miceli and Slonim was there, nor did anyone from Miceli and Slonim inform Dierberg that there would be any delay in the closing. At 10:20 am, Dierberg declared the contract null and void because the closing did not take place as agreed, and she left the title company office shortly thereafter. Dierberg had intended to use the purchase money to close another contract to purchase real estate later in the day. At about 10:30 AM, a representative of Miceli and Slonim appeared at Community Title to begin the closing, but the representative did not have the funds for payment until 1 :30 PM. Dierberg refused to return to the title company, stating that Miceli and Slonim had breached the contract by failing to tender payment on time. She had already made alternative arrangements to finance her purchase of other real estate to meet her obligation under that contract. Miceli and Slonim sued Dierberg, claiming that the contract did not require closing exactly at 10:00 AM, but rather some time on the day of May 16. Will they prevail?
