At the beginning of the current year, Bard Corporation had 400,000 shares of $1 par common stock outstanding and had retained earnings of $11,000,000. During the year, the company earned $5,000,000, declared a 5% stock dividend when the price of stock was $25 per share, and paid a yearend cash dividend of $2 per share. (The cash dividend was paid after the stock dividend had been distributed.) Bard Corporation's retained earnings at the end of the year amount to:
a. $16,000,000.
b. $14,660,000.
c. $14,320,000.
d. $14,700,000.

b. $14,660,000

Explanation:

The computation of retained earnings at the end of the year is shown below:-

Retained earnings = Beginning retained earning + Net income - Stock dividend - Cash dividend

= $11,000,000 + $5,000,000 + $500,000 - $840,000

= $14,660,000

Working Note :-

Stock Dividend = 400,000 × 5% × $25

= $500,000

Cash dividend = (400,000 + (400,000 × 5%) × $2

= 420,000 × $2

= $840,000

answer: b 56, 250

explanation:

hi : ) i found this so i hope this !

"we first find value of tax in dollars.

the difference between the two prices   is: 23. 54 - 22 = 1.54

therefore the sales tax in dollars is 1.54

the tax % will be   (amount of tax / original cost price ) × 100

(1.54 / 22) × 100  → (0.07) × 100 =   7

so the tax rate is 7%

we can double check the answer.

7 % of 22   → (7/100) × 22 → 0.07 × 22 = 1.54

22 + 1.54 = 23.54"
