A company had the following assets and liabilities at the beginning and end of the current year:
const2013 [10]

Answer:

$32,300

Explanation:

Begining equity = Begining asset - Begining liabilities

                            = $231,000 - $96,500 = $134,500

Ending equity = Ending asset - Ending liabilities

                        = $262,000 - $78,400 = $183,600

We will find the net income for the year using the below formula:

Ending equity = Begining equity + Stock issuance + Net income - Dividend paid, or:

$183,600 = $134,500 + 23,500 + Net income - $6,700.

Solve the above equation we get Net income = $32,300

Costs that can be eliminated in whole or in part if a particular business segment is discontinued are called:
NemiM [27]

Answer:

Avoidable cost

Explanation:

An avoidable cost can be eliminated in a whole. Such a cost can be explained as an expense that would not happen if the specific activity is not done. These costs are relevant costs. A very good example of such a cost is labour cost. If there is a decision to stop a product line for example, all costs that have a relationship with this product line will also be stopped.
