Question

Green Caterpillar Garden Supplies Inc.

Answer 1

Answer:

This statement is TRUE, because:

C) Green Caterpillar’s retained earnings account increased between the end of Years 1 and 2.

Explanation:

The only way to determine if a company  was profitable is through the Net Profit in the Income Statement , if it was profitable it means that the result were allocated in Retained Earnings in the Balance Sheets because this account only growth with the results of the income statement, in this case the increase in the account was for $394.

Option A) is not true because the increase in total assets not only means a company´s positive results it could be because of the company increment the Accounts Receivable term and the Inventories which no means a positive result.

Option (B) in the case of cash increases it could be due to an increase in the total debt of the company as it's indicated in the Long Term Debt and because of new stock issues.

Both of this option are complementary to the option selected but this options alone doesn't indicate a profitabilty year.
