Answer:
attached below is the missing part of the question
$17000
Step-by-step explanation:
1) calculate the cash dividends
= beginning earnings + net income for the period - ending retained earnings
= $44000 + $57000 - $68000 = $33000
2 ) calculate the amount of cash receipt from the sale of plant assets
first we will calculate the dep on sale of plant products
= beginning accumulated depreciation + depreciation expense - ending accumulated depreciation
= 22500 + 12000 - 24500 = $10000
next we calculate the cost of sale of plant assets
= beginning plant asset + acquisition new plant assets - ending plant asset
= $123500 + $29000 - $131500 = $21000
Hence the cash receipt from the sale plant assets = cost of sale of plant assets - dep on sale of plant products + gain on the sale of plant assets
= 21000 - 10000 + 6000 = $17000
