Carter Company reported the following financial numbers for one of its divisions for the year; average total assets of $4,110,00
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

$1,83,000

Explanation:

Sales = 4,535,000

Cost of goods sold = $2,560,000

Operating expenses  =  $1,382,000

Average total assets = $4,110,000

Net Income =  Sales - Cost of goods sold -  Operating expenses

= $4,535,000 - $2,560,000 -  $1,382,000

=  $5,93,000

Target income = 10%  of Average total assets

= 0.10 × $4,110,000

= $410,000

Thus,

Residual income = Net income - Target income

= $5,93,000 - $410,000

= $1,83,000

The following is a condensed version of the comparative balance sheets for Pearl Corporation for the last two years at December
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Balance Sheets    

2020          2019                Deviation  

$292,050 $128,700  $163,350        Cash

$163,350   Cash Flow Ind Method  

$264,000   Net Income  

$28,050   Depreciation  

-$49,500   Dividends  

$36,300   Investments  

$8,250           Accounts Receivable  

-$28,050   Current Liabilities  

-$95,700   Property and Equipment  

Explanation:

To prepare the statement of cashflow it's necessary to calculate the difference between the balance on each year.

First we need the value of the Net Income and Depreciation of the year as initial value of the cash flow ($264,000+$28,050),  

then we deduct the amount of dividends paid during the year (-$49,500).  

Then we begin to calculate the Assets section, everytime that the Assets are higher than the past year we have to put money  

from the cash flow to compensate the assets increase and vice versa, with exception of the Cash Accounts that we are calculating.

Per Example: Accounts Receivable +$8,250 and Investments +$36,300.

Property decreased Cash flow which means that we buy some assets (-$97,500 )

Then with the Liabilities we do the same but in this case an increase in the liabilities means we have more money to our cash flow,

per example, an increase in the accounts payable means that we paid less to our suppliers so we have the money in the cash accounts.  

Total Current Liabilities decrease $28,050 , we paid more liabilities than the past year, so we have to use cash.  

To complete the cash flow statement  it's necessary that the amount of the statement be equal to the deviation in the cash account between the past year and the current one
