Answer:
The ending balance in the retained earnings account is $31400.
Explanation:
The ending balance in the retained earnings accounts is equal to the opening balance of the retained earnings account plus the addition to the retained earnings for the year.
The addition to retained earnings will be the Net income less dividends.
The net income for the year was = 75200 - 55000 = $20200
Addition to Retained earnings = 20200 - 12600 = $7600
Closing balance of retained earnings = 23800 + 7600 = $31400
Answer:
<em>a. 22.64%</em>
Explanation:
At first we are going to need to compute the Internal rate of return(IRR) (in which the current value of inflows = the current value of outflows)
Let's let the IRR be <em>x percent</em>
Therefore $4,500 = $750 / (1.0x)
+ $1,000 / (1.0x) <em>power 2</em> + $850 / (1.0x) <em>power 3 </em>
+ $6,250 / (1.0x) <em>power 4</em>
Thus, x = approximate return rate = <em>22.64 percent</em>
