Answer #1

1. & 2.

Jan-05 Apr-05 Jul-05 Oct-05
Outstanding shares 35000 32000 32000 38400
Cash Dividend $         17,500 $           16,000 $           16,000 $         19,200

3.
Amount of retained earnings capitalized = 32000 x 20% x $10 = $64000

4.
Per share cost of Treasury stock = $40000 / 3000 = $13.33 per share

5.
Net Income = $420000 - 360000 + 68700 + 64000 = $192700
