Answer:
a. Would the accounts receivable account appear in the assets, liabilities, or stockholders' equity section of the December 31, Year 1, balance sheet?
The accounts receivable account would appear in the assets section, and more specifically, in the current assets section. This is because accounts receivable are considered to be an assset.
b. Determine the balance of the accounts receivable account that would appear on the December 31, Year 1, balance sheet.
The Containeres Inc. first earned $25,000 on account, and by the end of the year, it had collected $22,000, thus, the final balance of the accounts receivable is $3,000.
c. Determine the amount of net income that would appear in the Year 1 income statement.
Net Income = Revenue - Expenses
Net Income = $25,00 - $18,000
= $7,000
