Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is e. 40,500.

Explanation:

To find out the balance for account payable in 2014, we need to recall to the Accounting equation:

Asset = Liabilities + Owner's Equity

Applying in the question, we replace the balance of asset items, liability items and equity items in 2014 to find the answer:

Account Receivable + Cash + Inventories + Net Fixed Asset = Account Payable + Accruals + Common Stock + Long term debt + Notes payable + Retained earnings

=> 44,500 + 98,000 + 60,800 + 121,500 = Account Payable + 16,200 + 81,000 + 89,100 + 37,200 + 60,800 <=> Account Payable = $40,500.

So, the answer is e. 40,500.
