Answer #1

SOLUTION

Question - 1

Option B is correct. West's stockholders' equity was reduced by $28,000

Explanation: In Year 1, no dividend was recorded since none of the rights were exercised and no value was assigned. In Year 5, redemption reduced equity by $28,000 [140,000 rights * $0.20 per share]

Question - 2

Correct option is Option B. Retained earnings at December 31, 2015 = $1,292,600

Income before tax = Revenues - Expenses

= $3,950,000 - $3,029,000 = $921,000

Tax rate = 40%

Tax = $921,000 * 40% = $368,400

Net income = $921,000 - $368,400 = $552,600

Retained earnings at December 31, 2015 would be the sum of the beginning retained earnings and the net income.

Retained earnings at December 31, 2015 = Beginning retained earnings + Net income

= $740,000 + $552,600 = $1,292,600
