Solution

Solution 75:

Baldwin’s total shareholders\' equity \"decreased by the dividend declaration and unchanged by the dividend payment\" As on date of declaration, dividend amount transferred from retained earnings to dividend payable which is part of current liabilities.

Hence option d is correct.

Solution 76:

If the dividend declared by Baldwin Corporation had been a 10 percent stock dividend instead of a cash dividend, Baldwin’s current liabilities would have been \"unchanged by either the dividend declaration or the dividend distribution.\"

Hence option d is correct.

Solution 77:

If the dividend declared by Baldwin Corporation had been a ten percent stock dividend instead of a cash dividend, Baldwin’s total shareholders\' equity would have been \"unchanged by either the dividend declaration or the dividend distribution.\"

Hence option d is correct.

Solution 100:

Hence option b is correct.

Solution 104:

Current balance of retained earnings = Total income since operation - cash dividend paid - stock dividend distributed

= $420,000 - $130,000 - $30,000 = $260,000

Hence option a is correct.
