,Answer:
Explanation:
a. Stockholders' equity December 31, 2017
Assets = Equity + Liabilities
529,000 = Equity + 127,000
Equity = 529,000 - 127,000
= $402,000
b. Stockholders' equity in 2018:
Assets = Equity + Liabilities
(529,000 + 101,000) = Equity + (127,000 + 30,000)
630,000 = Equity + 157,000
Equity = 630,000 - 157,000
= $473,000
I would say perhaps such capital would likely be non-refundable which would have to be balanced with the knowledge that since it is a franchise then it is likely that it would be a business that iswell known and well established ie with a good name and good products so that would increase chances of success given a hard working, industrious franchisee and a good location, presuming that the franchisor will help with the setting up of the business.
