Answer 1

total dividends revenue for 20X0: $22,200

Step-by-step explanation:

25,000 B&K

6,000 Amal

B&K dividends are not revenue as there is a significant influence it is deciding to distribute the dividends therefore, not creating a gain rather moving cash form one place to another.

Amal dividends are revenue, as it has no impact in the business decisions.

Amal dividends:

cash dividends: 1,500

stock dividends:

3% stock x 6,000 = 180 shares

180 shares x 115 each = 20,700

total: 1,500 + 20,700 = 22,200
