(b) Compute the weighted-average number of shares outstanding if the 30,000 shares were issued in a stock dividend.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The weighted-average number of shares outstanding is $320,000.

b. The 30,000 shares issued in the stock dividend are assumed outstanding from the beginning of the year. Therefore, the weighted-average number of shares outstanding is 330,000.

Step by step solution

01

Computation of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding if the 30,000 shares were issued for cash 

(a).

weighted-averagenumberofsharesoutstanding=(ExistingSharesOutstanding×Periodcovered)+(ExistingandCurrentoutstandingshare×Periodcovered)=(300000×412)+(330000×812)=$100,000+$220,000=$320,000

02

Computation of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding if the 30,000 shares were issued in a stock dividend

weighted-averagenumberofsharesoutstanding=Existingoutstandingshares+sharesissuedinstockdividend=300,000+30,000=330,000
