Answer:
The Accounting Equation states that;
Assets = Liabilities + Equity
Equity as at 2016 = Assets - Liabilities
= 50 - 13
= $37 million
Equity as at 2017 = Assets - Liabilities
= 77 - 18
= $59 million
1. Timmy issued $13 million of stock and declared no dividends.
<em>The Net Income ( loss) will be the figure that gives the Statement of Equity a figure of $59 million.</em>
Net Income = Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2017 - Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2016 - Issuance of stock
= 59 - 37 - 13
= $9 million
Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2016 ................ 37
Add: Issuance of stock ......................................................... 13
Net income ......................................................................9
Less: Dividends declared......................................................0
Net loss.......................................................................................0
Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2017...................59
2. Timmy issued no stock but declared dividends of $17 million.
Net Income (loss) = Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2017 - Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2016 + Dividends Declared
= 59 - 37 + 17
= $39 million
Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2016 ................ 37
Add: Issuance of stock ......................................................... 0
Net income ......................................................................39
Less: Dividends declared......................................................(17)
Net loss.......................................................................................0
Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2017...................59
3. Timmy issued $20 million of stock and declared dividends of $27 million.
Net Income (loss) = Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2017 - Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2016 + Dividends Declared - Issuance of stock
= 59 - 37 + 27 - 20
= $29 million
Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2016 ................ 37
Add: Issuance of stock ......................................................... 20
Net income ......................................................................29
Less: Dividends declared......................................................(27)
Net loss.......................................................................................0
Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2017...................59
