Retained earning = beginning retained earning+ earnings - dividends.

For  Pierson Industries

Beginning retained earnings is $42,000

revenues are $104,800

expenses $97,300

Dividends paid out $3,500

Earning for the period will be revenue minus expenses

retained earnings are the end of the year will be

= $42,500+$7,500 -$3,500

=$50,000 -$3,500

=$46,500

When machine is purchased, then the assets increase by the carrying or purchase value of the machine purchased. Here, it is of $1 million.

ANEK [815]

Answer:

Cash $10,430 ; Cash equivalents $20,400

Explanation.

Cash consist of all currencies in hand or any convertible asset which can be converted to cash immediately.

It is to be noted that the assets with high liquidity will be included in cash and cash equivalent balance. They can quickly be converted to cash and would normally have 90 or lesser days to mature.

Solution.

$

Cash in bank. 8,540

Petty cash. 250

Check from customer. 1,350

Money order. 290

Cash. 10,430

The check has a very short maturity period since it will clear within 3-4 working days.

Money order can be cashed immediately .

Therefore;

Cash value is $10,430

For cash equivalent,

Cash equivalent = Money market fund balance + Treasury bills maturing in 60days

Cash equivalents = $10,400 + $10,000

=$20,400.

The amounts considered as cash and cash equivalents as of 31 December are ;

Cash $10,430 , $20,400 respectively.
