Vaughn Corporation had 303,000 shares of common stock outstanding on January 1, 2017. On May 1, Vaughn issued 31,200 shares. Required:
a. Compute the weighted-average number of shares outstanding if the 31,200 shares were issued for cash.
b. Compute the weighted-average number of shares outstanding if the 29,700 shares were issued in a stock dividend.

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the  weighted-average number of shares outstanding  in each cases is as follows:

a. At the time when the shares are issued at cash

= (303,000 × 12 ÷ 12) + (31,200 × 8 ÷ 12)

= 303,000 + 20,800

= 323,800 shares

b. At the time when the shares are issued in the stock dividend

= (303,000 × 12 ÷ 12) + (29,700 × 12 ÷ 12)

= 303,000 + 29,700

= 332,700 shares

i am asked a question by the teacher.

or

a question is asked by the teacher.

the correct answer is:

it required the president to inform congress within forty-eight hours of any new troop commitment.

the war powers resolution (1973) is a federal law designed to limit the u.s. president’s ability to initiate or intensify military actions abroad without the approval of the congress.

it establishes that the president can send armed forces into action abroad only by declaration of war by congress, statutory authorization, or in case of a national emergency created by attack upon the united states, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces.

it requires the president to notify congress within 48 hours of sending armed forces to military action.
