Boehm Corporation has had stable earnings growth of 4% a year for the past 10 years,...

Boehm Corporation has had stable earnings growth of 4% a year for the past 10 years, and in 2019 Boehm paid dividends of $5 million on net income of $10 million. However, net income is expected to grow by 24% in 2020, and Boehm plans to invest $7.0 million in a plant expansion. This one-time unusual earnings growth won't be maintained, though, and after 2020 Boehm will return to its previous 4% earnings growth rate. Its target debt ratio is 32%. Boehm has 1 million shares of stock.

Calculate Boehm's dividend per share for 2020 under each of the following policies:

  1. Its 2020 dividend payment is set to force dividends per share to grow at the long-run growth rate in earnings. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
  2. It continues the 2019 dividend payout ratio. Round your answer to the nearest cent
  3. It uses a pure residual policy with all distributions in the form of dividends (32% of the $7.0 million investment is financed with debt). Round your answer to the nearest cent.
  4. It employs a regular-dividend-plus-extras policy, with the regular dividend being based on the long-run growth rate and the extra dividend being set according to the residual policy. What will the extra dividend be? Round your answer to the nearest cent.

2. The inventory balance is based on an inventory count that included $31,000 of merchandise that was received at December 31 but with no purchase invoices received or entered. Of this amount, $15,000 was received on consignment; the remainder was purchased f.o.b. destination.
3. Sales for the first four days of January 2021 in the amount of $31,000 were entered in the sales book as at December 31, 2020. Of these, $23,500 were sales on account and the remainder were cash sales.
4. Cash, not including cash sales, collected in January 2021 and entered as at December 31, 2020, totalled $40,324. Of this amount, $25,382 was received on account; the remainder was proceeds on a bank loan. (the amount owed to the bank for January 2021 was included as part of the Notes Payable account.)

I can't seem to figure out the adjustments. If you could prove explanations to your steps: it would be appreciated!

Crane Company purchased equipment on March 27, 2018, at a cost of $284,000. Management is contemplating the merits of using the diminishing-balance or units-of-production method of depreciation instead of the straight-line method, which it currently uses for other equipment. The new equipment has an estimated residual value of $4,000 and an estimated useful life of either four years or 80,000 units. Demand for the products produced by the equipment is sporadic so the equipment will be used more in some years than in others. Assume the equipment produces the following number of units each year: 14,200 units in 2018; 20,600 units in 2019; 20,200 units in 2020; 20,000 units in 2021; and 5,000 units in 2022. Crane has a December year end.

(a)

Prepare separate depreciation schedules for the life of the equipment using: (Round depreciation per unit to 2 decimal places, e.g. 5.28 and final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275.)
