    The accounting method used to account for investments in common stock depends on the level of control that the investor has over the acquired company (investee). The cost method is used if the investor lacks significant influence over the investee operating and financial policies; this lack of control is usually due to a common stock ownership level of less than 20 percent. Dividends are treated as income and recognized when the investee declares dividends; the investor records only the corresponding share of the investee’s distributed earnings. Dividends declared by the investee in excess of earnings since acquisition by the investor are known as liquidating dividends. The investor treats liquidating dividends as a return of capital, and the investment account balance is reduced accordingly.…

    An income statement is a financial document used to report a company’s financial performance of a certain period of time which takes into account the expenses incurred by the business, the revenue the company receives by selling the product, and the overall net profit the company ultimately achieves (Stone, 1959). In this question, I used an income statement to look at the net profit if Mark’s Hamburgers sold 240 burgers at $4.50 each, with a cost of $1.50 each. After taking the daily expense into account including the daily of $80.00 and the daily wages of $50.00, I found the net profit for Mark’s Hamburgers if 240 burgers are sold and produced will result a net daily income of $590.00. The question asks what the cost would be if 300 hamburgers…

The changes to Accounts Receivable over the years reduce cash flow from operations by $75,000, $46, $42,633 in 1995, 1996, and 1997, respectively. These increases in accounts receivable cause the cash flow from operations to decrease because Be Our Guest, Inc. collected less money from their customers compared to the sales. Whereas, the changes in Accounts payable & accruals of, $5,768, $19,063, and $14,859, in 1995, 1996, and 1997, respectively, caused the cash flow from operations to increase because Be Our Guest, Inc. is paying their suppliers less, indicating they are retaining more cash for…

Finally, a 30% debt to total capital structure will jump our stock price to $22.86, a 2.99% increase and allow us to repurchase 2,965,000 shares, a 10.18% decrease in shares.
