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:

1. On June 30, 2018, the corporation reacquires 280,000 shares for the treasury at a price of $12 per share.
2. On July 31, 2018, 40,000 treasury shares are reissued at $15 per share.
3. On September 30, 2018, 40,000 treasury shares are reissued at $10 per share.

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

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)

In what ways would the role of a manager working in a nonstandard international assignment arrangement differ from that of a typical expatriate manager?

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.

#!/bin/bash

if [ -f "$1" ] && [ -f "$2" ]; then
x = 1

while [ -f $2"."$x ]
do
x=$((x+1))
done

mv $1 $2"."$x

else
mv $1 $2
