On January 1, Year 2, the Arlington Company had 100,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. On July 1, Year 2, the company sold 20,000 additional shares for cash. On August 1, a 25% stock dividend was distributed. What is the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during Year 2

The correct answer is 137,500 Shares.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:

Time period  Jan.1 - Jul.1 = 6 months

So, first we calculate the weighted average before dividend.

Weighted average before dividend shares outstanding = (100,000 × 6 ÷ 12) + (120,000 × 6 ÷ 12)

= 50,000 + 60,000 = 110,000

Now we can calculate the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during Year 2 by using following formula:

Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding = Weighted average before dividend shares outstanding + Dividend on outstanding Shares

By putting the value we get,

= 110,000 + 25% × 110,000

= 110,000 + 27,500

= 137,500 Shares

no, a company likes to look at potential employees that are professional, well mannered, clean, honest, etc. don't show up looking/acting like a clown. (unless that's your job xd) hope this ! =^-^=

the definition of a small business is an independently owned and operated company that is limited in size and in revenue depending on the industry. a local bakery that employs 10 people is an example of a small business. a manufacturing facility that employees less than 500 people is an example of a small business.
