Problem 18-12 Various shareholders' equity topics; comprehensive [LO18-1, 18-4, 18-5, 18-6, 18-7, 18-8]
Part A
In late 2017, the Nicklaus Corporation was formed. The corporate
charter authorizes the issuance of 6,000,000 shares of common stock
carrying a $1 par value, and 2,000,000 shares of $5 par value,
noncumulative, nonparticipating preferred stock. On January 2,
2018, 4,000,000 shares of the common stock are issued in exchange
for cash at an average price of $10 per share. Also on January 2,
all 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock are issued at $25 per
share.
Required:
1. Prepare journal entries to record these
transactions.
2. Prepare the shareholders' equity section of the
Nicklaus balance sheet as of March 31, 2018. (Assume net income for
the first quarter 2018 was $1,900,000.)
Part B
During 2018, the Nicklaus Corporation participated in three
treasury stock transactions:
Required:
1. Prepare journal entries to record these
transactions.
2. Prepare the Nicklaus Corporation shareholders'
equity section as it would appear in a balance sheet prepared at
September 30, 2018. (Assume net income for the second and third
quarter was $3,400,000.)
Part C
On October 1, 2018, Nicklaus Corporation receives permission to
replace its $1 par value common stock (6,000,000 shares authorized,
4,000,000 shares issued, and 3,800,000 shares outstanding) with a
new common stock issue having a $.50 par value. Since the new par
value is one-half the amount of the old, this represents a 2-for-1
stock split. That is, the shareholders will receive two shares of
the $.50 par stock in exchange for each share of the $1 par stock
they own. The $1 par stock will be collected and destroyed by the
issuing corporation.
On November 1, 2018, the Nicklaus Corporation declares a $0.21 per
share cash dividend on common stock and a $0.38 per share cash
dividend on preferred stock. Payment is scheduled for December 1,
2018, to shareholders of record on November 15, 2018.
On December 2, 2018, the Nicklaus Corporation declares a 1% stock
dividend payable on December 28, 2018, to shareholders of record on
December 14. At the date of declaration, the common stock was
selling in the open market at $10 per share. The dividend will
result in 76,000 (0.01 × 7,600,000) additional shares being issued
to shareholders.
Required:
1. Prepare journal entries to record the
declaration and payment of these stock and cash dividends.
2. Prepare the December 31, 2018, shareholders'
equity section of the balance sheet for the Nicklaus Corporation.
(Assume net income for the fourth quarter was $2,900,000.)
3. Prepare a statement of shareholders' equity for
Nicklaus Corporation for 2018.

Physicians at a clinic gave what they thought were drugs to 860860 patients. Although the doctors later learned that the drugs were really placebos, 5656 % of the patients reported an improved condition. Assume that if the placebo is ineffective, the probability of a patients condition improving is 0.530.53. Test the hypotheses that the proportion of patients improving is >0.53

On January 1, 2018, bonds with a face value of $ 79,000 were sold.
The bonds mature on January 1, 2028. The face interest rate is
8%. The bonds pay interest semiannually on July 1 and January 1.
The market rate of interest is 12%. What is the market price of
the bonds on January 1, 2018? The present value of $1 for 20
periods at 6% is 0.312. The present value of an ordinary annuity
of $1 for 20 periods at 6% is 11.47. The present value of $1 for
20 periods at 4% is 0.456. The present value of an ordinary
annuity of $1 for 20 periods at 4% is 13.59. (Round your final
answer to the nearest dollar.)
A.79,000
B.82,160

How do I make this sort in true alphabetical order instead of ascii(ABCabc) order? I am trying to get AaBbCc. Currently I get ABCabc. please help... here is the code using VB:
Public Class frmTransfer
Dim strSortArray() As String
Private Sub txtInput_TextChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles txtInput.TextChanged
Dim intUpper As Integer
Dim intCount As Integer
intUpper = Len(txtInput.Text) - 1 REM -1 because array starts at 0
For Each chr As Char In txtInput.Text REM for each chr(character) entered as a character in the text box
If ((Asc(chr) > 64) And (Asc(chr) < 91)) Or ((Asc(chr) > 96) And (Asc(chr) < 123)) Or ((Asc(chr) > 31) And (Asc(chr) < 65)) Then REM If the character entered is a letter
ReDim Preserve strSortArray(intUpper) REM preservers previous data and adds new slot to array
strSortArray(intCount) = chr REM sets the array at position intCount equal to chr
intCount = intCount + 1 REM increases intCount by 1
End If
Next chr
End Sub
Private Sub btnTransfer_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnTransfer.Click
Dim X As Integer
Dim Y As Integer
Dim temp As String
For X = LBound(strSortArray) To (UBound(strSortArray) - 1)
For Y = LBound(strSortArray) To (UBound(strSortArray) - 1)
If Asc(strSortArray(Y)) > Asc(strSortArray(Y + 1)) Then
' exchange the items
temp = strSortArray(Y)
strSortArray(Y) = strSortArray(Y + 1)
strSortArray(Y + 1) = temp
End If
Next Y
Next X
lblOutput.Text = String.Join("", strSortArray)

Write a Bash script called move that could replace the UNIX command mv. 'move' tries to rename the source file (using the UNIX command mv), but if the destination file exists, appends an index number, a sort of version number, to the destination file. So if the user types:
move a.txt b.txt
and b.txt already exists, move will rename the file to b.txt.1. If b.txt.1 already exists, move must rename the file to be b.txt.2, and so on, until the file can be successfully renamed with a name that does not already exist.
This is what I have so far but for some reason instead of indexing the filenames .1, .2, .3 it does .1, .1.1, .1.1.1 which I am confused on how to fix.

mv $1 $2"."$x
else
mv $1 $2
