Question

A company had the following assets and liabilities at the beginning and end of the current year:

Answer 1

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
