J. Clark Inc. (JCI), a manufacturer and distributer of sports equipment, has grown until it has become a stable, mature company. Now JCI is planning its first distribution to shareholders. Shown below are the most recent year's financial statements and projections for the next year, 2014 (JCI has a fiscal year ending on June 30). JCI plans to liquidate $500 million of its short-term securities and distribute them on July 1, 2014, the first day of the next fiscal year, but has not yet decided whether to distribute with dividends or with stock repurchases.

a. Assume first that JCI distributes the $500 million as dividends. Fill in the missing values in the balance sheet column for July 1, 2014, that is labeled "Distribute as Dividends." (Hint: Be sure that the balance sheets balance after you fill in the missing items. Also, assume JCI did not have to establish an account for dividends payable prior to the distribution.)
See below for calculations.
b. Now assume that JCI distributes the $500 million through stock repurchases. Fill in the missing values in the balance sheet column for July 1, 2014, that is labeled "Distribute as Repurchase." (Hint: Be sure that the balance sheets balance after you fill in the missing items.)
