"the board of directors of capstone inc. declared a $0.70 per share cash dividend on its $3 par common stock. on the date of declaration, there were 50,000 shares authorized, 23,000 shares issued, and 5,000 shares held as treasury stock. what is the entry when the dividends are declared? a. dividends 12,600 dividends payable 12,600 b. dividends 12,600 cash 12,600 c. dividends 35,000 dividends payable 35,000 d. dividends 16,100 cash 16,100"

Explanation:

First we must determine how many shares are outstanding:

23,000 shares issued - 5,000 shares held= 18,000 shares outstanding

Then we multiply shares outstanding times dividends per share:

18,000 shares outstanding x $0.70 per share = $12,300

you can lose ranking 2 ways.

1) you don't have enough points due to you expending them by asking questions/your answers are deleted.

2) your brainliest's expired. this means that brainliests, once they exceed the 30 day limit, expires. this is to ensure that you continue to contribute into the community at a constant rank if you want to continue to have/exceed the rank you have right now.

if you go to profile, and click "show more information" located on the bottom left of the box with your information (on top of the questions answered, questions asked, and friends), you will be given the following information (example):

member since : 02/13/2017, 18: 11

questions answered: 9741

questions asked: 162

no. of brainliest answers: 1575

brainliest answers in last 30 days: 10

warnings: 0 view

questions/answers reported: 2637

questions/answers incorrectly reported: 64

look at the "brainliest answers in the last 30 days". this is the one that will affect your rank other than your points. again, once your brainliest expires (was earned 31+ days ago), it will not be counted.
