Answer:

$8,000

Explanation:

Given that

Profit = $1,200

Cost = 85% of sales

Profit = 15%

We know that

Sales = Cost + Profit

         = 85% + 15%

         = 100%

So sales percentage is 100%

Now we use the unitary method to find out the extra sales which would be

= Profit × sales percentage ÷ profit percentage

= $1,200 × 100% ÷ 15%

= $8,000

Vadim26 [7]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows,

At December 31, 2011 the accounting records of Gordon, Inc. contain the following items:

Accounts Payable 2500

Land 30000

Building 31250

Notes Payable ?

Retained earnings 125000

Accounts Receivable 18750

Cash ?

Equipment 40000

Capital Stock 12500

If the Notes Payable is $10,000, the December 31, 2011 cash balance is:

Answer:

Cash = $30000

Explanation:

The accounting equation states that the sum of total assets is always equal to the sum of total liabilities plus total equity. We can state the equation as follows,

Total Assets = Total Liabilities + Total Equity

So,

(30000 + 31250 + 18750 + 40000 + Cash) = (2500 + 10000) + (125000 + 12500)

120000 + Cash = 12500 + 137500

Cash = 150000 - 120000

Cash = $30000
